I run Home Assistant in a virtual machine on my home server. Sometimes I need to restart it and I’m not always in a position to SSH or VNC in and I can never remember the command so I have to look it up every time. Is there anything out there that would allow me to do this quickly?
EDIT: The VM is in virtualbox.
If you can never remember the command, and that’s the real issue, just put the command in a script and run the script. Name the script. Something easy like, home assistant restart.
Not looking for a workaround but thanks
Also launching a script from cell phone is kind of the same issue
I have used OliveTin to do something similar: https://github.com/OliveTin/OliveTin
OK now we’re talking! Thanks.
What platform has a browser but not an ssh client? I use juicessh on android. I’d bet even the Nintendo DS has a homebrew ssh client.
I use Portainer.
you can restart VMs from portainer?
Yes, It’s what’s called a hypervisor, it is an operating system designed to manage vms, it can do a lot
Edit: I’m thinking of proxmox oops
Portainer is for docker containers
Since when is portainer a hypervisor? It’s a container manager, isn’t it?
