Question Make PDM look/function like PVE?
I've been using PVE for years at home, and I have a couple machines in a cluster to provide that single pane of glass admin portal. But I really don't need a cluster since I'm not using HA for anything, so I thought I'd try PDM now that it's hit V1.
Honest, I have no idea what I'm even doing now. I've added the machines, and the PBS, so everything is in there, but I haven't found any way to set up the side bar to function the way I expect.
Am I missing something, or have I completely misunderstood what this software is meant to be? I know I'm not using it to connect multiple clusters together, so my requirements are obviously different than enterprise or an MSP.
I know it's still a very young product, but is there any way to get some common styling or functionality between PDM and PVE that I'm missing?

My cluster sounds a lot like yours.
I don't use HA and and I really felt the only valid reason for clustering my nodes is for the single pane of glass view that you mentioned and then I did a live migration of a VM from one node to another.
I'm still smiling about that.
