    I'm new to proxmox. So when I got a system to run it on, I setup up a monitor on it directly. I setup a "kiosk" user , that I login to and
    start a browser session to the proxmox server.

    You can easily just hit the proxmox server from any web browser, and
    there's even a console window available from the web session. There's
    really no need to get to the local console unless it's crashed.


    The issues I have with this are, seems the console session size is
    small and the escape key causes full screen mode to be exited. I think
    the escape issue may be specific to using a browser. I'm using novnc
    as my console session. I see there are options for spice and xterm.js
    but don't fully understand how to set them up or use them.

    You can also SSH into the Proxmox console using any SSH terminal app.

    What is the difference between novnc and spice consoles? can spice do larger resolutions ? I think xterm.js gives you a "terminal" session, rather than graphical if I remember - I think I've only used it once.

    I prefer Spice, it seems a little more capable than NoVNC. Spice can
    also use multiple monitors, apparently.
