8 | {pve} is simple. There is no need to install a separate management |
9 | tool, everything can be done via your web browser (Latest Firefox and | |
10 | Google Chrome is preferred). To access VM/CT console, a built in HTML5 | |
11 | console is used. As alternative, SPICE can be used. | |

12 | |
13 | As we use Proxmox Cluster file system (pmxcfs),you can connect to any | |
14 | node to manage the whole cluster. | |
15 | ||
16 | To use the Central Web-based Management, you need a modern browser, | |
17 | this includes: | |
18 | ||
19 | * Firefox, a release from the current year, or the latest Enterprise | |
20 | * Support Release Chrome, a release from the current year | |
21 | * Microsoft currently supported versions of Edge Browser | |
22 | * Apple currently supported versions of Safari | |
23 | ||
24 | If {pve} detect you're connecting from a mobile device, you will | |
25 | redirected to a light weight touch based UI. | |
26 | ||
27 | The web interface can be reached via https://youripaddress:8006 | |
28 | (default login is: root, the password is specified during the | |
29 | installation). | |

52 | The GUI has 3 sectors: | |
53 | ||
54 | * On the left side is the navigation bar. The navigation bar is | |
55 | structured into 4 different types. It has 4 different views, | |
56 | which can be selected on the top. | |
57 | ** Datacenter: contains all the settings belonging to all machines. | |
58 | ** Nodes: represent the host where the VM/CT runs on. It is named like | |
59 | the hostname. Normally the name was set by the installation. | |
60 | ** Entity: can be a VM, container or a storage. | |
61 | ** Logical pools: it is possible to group entities to a group for easy management. | |
62 | * On the right side is the main management center, where all content | |
63 | of the selected entity form the navigation bar is shown. | |
64 | * On the bottom is the task log section, where all tasks are shown. | |
