Using proxmox from single PC

[dk135]

In most of the proxmox installation, it need at least 2 pc connected via ethernet cable. What if I only had 1 PC and want to install and use proxmox directly in that PC? Any tutorial that can show me how to do this?

hi,

no you don't need at least 2 machines, you can install a standalone PVE server.

Hi @oguz

I've read that. After installation finished, how do I access the web GUI from that PC? Do Proxmox installation can also install and run browser so the web GUI can be accessed in the same PC?

yeah, you can install a desktop manager (for example gnome) and a browser to use everything locally.

see here [0] for some options

Is it possible to make gpu passthrough with web GUI ? Supposedly a remote desktop is needed ? Thanks

For GPU passthrough configuration you always need to use the CLI. See here how to do it: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Pci_passthrough
