VM web portal that uses the Proxmox API to allow users to access VM consoles all on the local network

[noobUser]

Hello,

I have a Proxmox VE server with several virtual machines on my local network, and I want to use one of the machines as a web server/portal. The idea is that users on the local network can access that page and:​

• View a list of virtual machines​
• Select a machine​
• Open the VM console or interface and manage it remotely from the browser
  
  I understand that this is done using the Proxmox REST API, but I always end up with errors (especially with calls to the API or noVNC) and I can't get the page to work properly: to list the VMs and open the console when clicked.
  
  I would like to know:​
• Whether this architecture (a VM as a portal that calls the Proxmox API) is the most appropriate​
• If there is a project, example, or guide where a similar portal has already been set up
  
  Any links to documentation, examples, or forum threads where something similar has already been discussed would be great.
  Thank you!​

I believe I recently saw a post that mentioned a github repository that was doing exactly what you would like to do. Although I could not find it on quick search. There seems to be a couple of repositories that are close in nature to your task, so I would check there.
