Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

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.

Yes, It's what's called a hypervisor, it is an operating system designed to manage vms, it can do a lot

Since when is portainer a hypervisor? It’s a container manager, isn’t it?
