Hi list,

I need to pass a USB device over the network to the virtual machine.
I have added the USB spiceport and can succesfully pass a USB device from the remote-viewer.

But I cant seem to find a client that will pass on USB device from a server wthout GUI to a virtual machine,

Would anyone know how to implement it?

Or do I have to use external mechanisms like https://www.incentivespro.com/usb-server.html ?
 
Yes I did look through it, but it is concerned with the USB passthrough on the physical host to the VM.

What I need to do is to pass USB device over the IP network from a physical port on one machine to a virtual machine running on a different host.

i guess i can use the fake xorg to start remote-viewer from a console, but was wondering if there are better solutions available.
 
I'm running a Ubuntu 18.04 vm on proxmox 6.0 with a precompiled usb client from VirtualHere as a auto-start daemon. The vm is configured with a spice usb. It provides me access to a zwave usb stick over ip . The physical stick resides on a raspberry pi running a licensed usb server daemon from vh. No issues with this setup for me.

i ended up using usb/ip builtin linux support.
zigbee stick on raspberry pi and vm connecting to it no matter what physical server it resides on.
