    Virtual Machines & Consoles

    Operate QEMU VMs and LXC containers and use browser-based Virtual KVM securely.

    Guest inventorySupported management actionsVirtual KVMOptional Windows Remote Desktop

    Guest inventory

    Overview and Virtual Machines show the live inventory reported by connected Agents, including Site, node, VM/CT ID, running state, allocation and utilisation.

    Open a guest to access Overview, Manage, Snapshots, Backups and Console. Actions are shown only when the current Site role permits them.

    Supported management actions

    • Start, shutdown, reboot and force-stop operations.
    • CPU and memory updates where supported.
    • Disk expansion and supported disk additions.
    • Network adapter add/update/remove workflows.
    • ISO mount/eject operations.
    • QEMU Guest Agent filesystem TRIM where available.

    Virtual KVM

    Virtual KVM opens the Proxmox guest console inside Portal through a short-lived authenticated relay. Proxmox TCP 8006 remains private.

    • Fit to window or 1:1 scrolling display modes.
    • Expand and browser full-screen controls.
    • View-only mode.
    • Ctrl+Alt+Del and function-key controls.
    • Clipboard text can be typed into the remote guest as keystrokes.
    Console security

    The browser does not connect directly to the Proxmox API. Portal issues a short-lived console session and the Site Agent relays the Proxmox console channel outbound.

    Optional Windows Remote Desktop

    For supported QEMU Windows VMs, Portal can optionally provide a private browser RDP session through the same outbound Agent model.

    • Windows must support acting as an RDP host (for example Pro, Enterprise, Education or Server editions rather than Home).
    • Remote Desktop must be enabled inside Windows and the Remote Desktop service must be listening.
    • QEMU Guest Agent should be installed and running so Portal can discover the guest network address.
    • TCP 3389 does not need to be published to the internet; the HSVE Agent connects to the VM internally.
