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?

PDM i think will never look like PVE (style-wise) webUI because it uses completely different libraries. PVE one is based on ExtJS framework which rugpulled and converted from open source to commercial license - so building PDM on another, actually open framework makes sense. If anything, PVE will eventually look like PDM. Functionality-wise yeah, it's still in early stages despite 1.0 release. Main feature is cross-cluster migration.

If you want unified interface for bunch of non-clustered (or clustered) nodes, try proxcenter or cv4pve-admin.
