Content Spotlight: ProxMobo

Meet ProxMobo, a third-party iOS client for managing Proxmox instances from mobile and tablet devices. ProxMobo's key features include dashboard views for quick insights into system performance and health (including real-time resource usage and statistics), full control of VMs and LXC containers (start, stop, restart, shutdown, etc.), and VNC/terminal access for nodes, containers, and VMs. The application's overall functionality and design are extremely polished and comply with Proxmox's brand/design guidelines.

Select features (NoVNC support, enhanced terminal emulator access) are locked behind a one-time in-app purchase of $5.99 to support development, with a free 7-day trial available to those looking to try the premium features before purchasing.

Command Line Corner: tee

The tee command allows users to write the output of a command to a file while also viewing it in the terminal. In the example below, I'm viewing the contents of a file (cat example.txt) while also using tee to write the output of cat example.txt to another file (output.txt).
