Allow setting user per guest

[Nathanwoodburn]

It would be nice to allow users to specify an override of the default user for 1 guest

I usually have my VMs with username nathan however the LXC containers usually have root and no user account. So if I have the user set to nathan it won't let me log into the LXC containers

Hi @Nathanwoodburn,

Thanks for the issue! Let me clarify how pvetui currently works:

LXC containers:

• pvetui SSHs to the Proxmox host using ssh_user
• Then runs sudo pct enter <id> which logs you in as root automatically
• The ssh_user setting doesn't affect the LXC guest login at all

QEMU VMs:

• pvetui SSHs directly to the VM's IP using ssh_user

Can you clarify what error you're seeing? Are you:

1. Getting an SSH error connecting to the Proxmox host itself?
2. Wanting to automatically log in as nathan inside LXC containers (currently not possible - pct enter always gives root)?

If it's #2, you can run su - nathan after entering the container. If you want automatic per-guest username support, that would be a feature request.

Thanks!

Oh I'm assuming it is then an issue connecting to the PVE host. In that case I can just add a new user to PVE and fix it

[devnullvoid]

Exactly! That's how I have mine set up: with a user jon on each PVE host. You can also add sudoers rules for that user to prevent being prompted for password when running pct enter.

That works except for this error now

lxc-attach: 104: ../src/lxc/seccomp.c: lxc_seccomp_load: 1275 Operation canceled - Error loading the seccomp policy
lxc-attach: 104: ../src/lxc/attach.c: do_attach: 1376 Failed to attach to container

But that is likely an issue with PVE not the TUI

NVM looks like those are just broken LXC containers and my newer ones work fine
