Manage Multiple Servers/VMs


Recommended Posts

Sooooo I was wondering on what yaw use to mange multiple servers/VMs?

Like I have a few Ubuntu Servers, CentOS servers and even a few Windows Server 2016 servers floating around. OH and cant forget about the half dozen RPIs around the house.

It would be nice to have some sort of thing so it would be easy to flip between screens or something to update them.

ask on an unraid forum, get an unraid based answer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

might be time to buy yourself a kvm switch.

Okay okay. I ran into that one. But in my defense I did say other server types in the initial post. 😂

A KVM won't work because some of the machines are VM based.

Get a KVM to manage all the physical servers

Get another Pi, run a DE on it. Connect to the VMs via browser/VNC/RDP. Add this Pi to the KVM. Solved.

Tmux will get you multiple terminal sessions you can switch between in one tmux session. Otherwise Id look into something like ansible or chef for managing VM/software updates
