April 24, 20251 yr This post explains some about how the VM VNC Console works. The lack of clipboard support and unavailability from the network outside of the Unraid server makes it unusable for remote access except for basic configuration. In the thread, @jonpsays "Just an FYI, you could install a VNC server inside the VM and then copy/paste would work fine." I followed this guide to install VNC server on my Debian 12 VM Install appears to work as expected. However when the server runs, it starts and then shuts down immediately. $ cat /home/tim/.vnc/sun-debian:2.log Xvnc TigerVNC 1.12.0 - built 2023-01-06 16:01 Copyright (C) 1999-2021 TigerVNC Team and many others (see README.rst) See https://www.tigervnc.org for information on TigerVNC.

Copy and paste needs to be enabled and you also need to load vdagent from spice. novnc from the console does not install anything on the VM so installing a servers should be ok.
