Proxmox HDMI output for one VM-container
Proxmox HDMI output for one VM-container
Hi everyone, I'm planning to experiment with my first home server (jellyfin,nextcloud,bitwarden etc) running on a "old" Thinkcentre i5-7th. I'm thinking using proxmox in order to experiment with different configuration and I was wondering if it's possible to have a single container/vr (with Libreelec) output HDMI to my TV, and keep other VM's headless and controlled from another PC when needed.
Are there some particular setting or nwebie suggestion that could help me achieve that? Also, do you think proxmox is a good choice, or it's better stick to a single debian/ubuntu server OS?

Hi I did that for Kodi, still using it and running in parallel other LXCs on the same machine. Scripts: https://github.com/mrrudy/proxmoxHelper Hope it helps.
Nice! Is Ubuntu mandatory?
No, you can replace the distro to any that proxmox will support and that has lightdm, you just need to modify the 2nd installation script also as it uses Ubuntu packages for Kodi. The easiest it should be for apt based distributions. But actually the heavy lifting that those scripts do is around passing throughout devices especially in Unprivileged mode, which is tricky in lxc. So you could remove or even allow to fail the apt parts and install what you need manually in the container after creation.
