July 30, 20223 yr Hey guys, I have been following spaceinvader ones videos and have now created a smooth running vm, which i can access via guacamole, vnc, splashtop. My initial idea was to have one server in my house running 24/7 and bascially running a couple of docker containers, for media and a nextcloud service, home assistant as vm to manage my house and also have 1 or two Windows VMs for Office work and the occasional game. I want to access the vms remotely on small clients - maybe even just a raspi if that is possible. Now Spaceinvader one at one point said that he would plug in a usb dongle for a controller in his server to be able to passthrough the gaming controller. I want it the other way round, if possible. E.g. I would like to plug in a usb device at the client and have it work on the vm, if that is at all possble, for example printer, scanner maybe a gaming pad. Is that something which can be done, if so how? Thank you all for your time and help.

You can set mappings also to vms. you would need to run usbipd on the pi. Not used or tried it spice clients can redirect usb ports to the guest vm. Edited July 30, 20223 yr by SimonF
