Greetings everyone,
Im trying to see if I can get a USB-Serial adapter to work as a local shell access. I need it to start automatically and only have access to Proxmox and not via a VM.
My motherboard does NOT have a serial port on it, but does have USBs internal & External.
Im continuing my trek to have a OLED screen to display the CPU Usage & Temp, and Mem Usage information. I have a temp workaround of an ESP32 logging into it via WiFi and parsing the data from Glances. it works nicely... but it relies on the WiFi .... and i would prefer to keep in internal on a Serial interface.
I understand that the ESP32 will boot faster and will have to 'wait for' the log in prompt then log in (i will setup a Glances guest user just to run that) then parse the data coming from the shell accessed Glances page.
Just need some help getting Proxmox to make the USB-serial adapter into a Console port automatically when it boots.
Thanks in advance to any assistance or direction to where it has been done before.
Michael
