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). | |

54 | * On the left side is the navigation bar. On the top, you can select one of 4 |
55 | views. Those views change the structure of the tree below. The default | |
56 | selection is *Server View* and it has the following 4 types of elements. | |
c5eadcbd WL |
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. | |
6db8976c | 60 | ** Entity: can be a VM, container, a template or a storage. |
c5eadcbd WL |
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. | |

136 | ||
137 | There are two differed kinds of VM types and both types can be converted to a template. | |
138 | One of them are Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) and the other one are Linux Containers (LXC). | |
139 | General the navigation are the same only some option are different. | |
140 | ||
141 | In the main management center the VM navigation begin if a VM is selected in the left tree. | |
142 | ||
143 | The top header contains important VM operation commands like 'Start', 'Shutdown', 'Rest', | |
144 | 'Remove', 'Migrate', 'Console' and 'Help'. | |
145 | Two of them have hidden buttons like 'Shutdown' has 'Stop' and | |
146 | 'Console' contains the different consolen typs 'SPICE' or 'noVNC'. | |
147 | ||
148 | On the right side the content switch white the focus of the option. | |

150 | On the left side. | |
151 | All available options are listed one below the other. | |
152 | ||
153 | * *Summary:* gives a brief overview over the VM activity. | |
154 | ||
155 | * *Console:* an interactive console to your VM. | |
156 | ||
157 | * *(KVM)Hardware:* shows and set the Hardware of the KVM VM. | |
158 | ||
159 | * *(LXC)Resources:* defines the LXC Hardware opportunities. | |
160 | ||
161 | * *(LXC)Network:* the LXC Network settings. | |
162 | ||
163 | * *(LXC)DNS:* the LXC DNS settings. | |
164 | ||
165 | * *Options:* all VM options can be set here, this distinguishes between KVM and LXC. | |
166 | ||
167 | * *Task History:* here all previous task from this VM will be shown. | |
168 | ||
169 | * *(KVM) Monitor:* is the interactive communication interface to the KVM process. | |
170 | ||
171 | * *Backup:* shows the available backups from this VM and also create a backupset. | |
172 | ||
