I’m sitting here thinking about projects, wishing I could fire up a new VM and install Debian while I sit here on the couch. Then I would have a fresh VM ready to go after I recover from sitting on the couch.

Unfortunately the web GUI is not very mobile friendly. Or maybe it is and I just suck at it.

I realize I could have templates and stuff ready to go, but that would require foresight.

And I am just a guy sitting on a couch.

    Setup a virtual desktop on your server and RDP into it to access the web interface. Here is me doing that using my cat as a stand lol.

      This is incredible. I had no idea. I can’t figure out how to create new vms or lxcs though 😭

        I don’t think you can via the mobile app. It’s more for management of existing stuff. I think it would be really complicated to replicate the UI for machine creation.

    Well, mobile sucks for most stuff, just because of size. I’d prefer to have simpler interface, with (as you mentioned), pre-defined routines/actions.

    Or just use ssh, since command line is a lot easier on mobile for stuff like this.

    I guess having more pages with fewer objects could make for a better mobile experience.
