Using Proxmox VMs remotely from command line

[kokoticek]

I'm just wondering if it's possible, or practical, to start/stop a VM and opening a VM's console all from command line from remote PC.

Say, for starting a VM from remote command line, would this

ssh root@<proxmoxHost> 'qm start <vmid>'

be ok?

For starting noVNC or SPICE consoles from remote command line, is it possible? How could one do?

Thanks beforehand.

Hi

be ok?

yes this would work.

For starting noVNC or SPICE consoles from remote command line, is it possible? How could one do?

How should this work?
NoVNC is HTML5(JS).

You can only connect with ssh to a terminal see.

Thanks.
But what about SPICE?

 

[wolfgang]

You can get the spice ticket with this command if the vm is running

pvesh create /nodes/ella/qemu/102/spiceproxy

Would it be then something like this,

ssh root@<proxmoxHost> 'pvesh create [...]'

then somehow use SPICE client on local PC on my side with the gotten ticket, *which self-destroys itself immediatelly*?
Truth to be told I'm getting a bit confused...

Also, I don't have such a directory like /nodes/[...] in the Proxmox server!
Using latest Proxmox version, BTW.

I only have one question...
Why?

 

[kokoticek]

Excuse me, any help still?
Or is it actually not practical or unorthodox?

Sorry can not help. I don't do this and don't know how to do it.
My question still stands.
If you want to connect to no gui vm,
There is ssh.
To run a gui vm as in novnc or or other you need a gui on the pc you are on.
If You have a gui and can run browser just login to the proxmox host and manage vms there.
Or setup remote access on vm and use rdp or similar client.
