[PVE-User] Local interface on Promox server

[Uwe Sauter]

You could use

qm terminal <ID>

to connect to the serial console. Ctrl + o will quit the session.

You need to configure your VMs to provide a serial console, e.g. by adding "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8" to 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub and running "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".
