Home Assistant: Monitor Proxmox with Glances

In the Proxmox web UI click on your physical server in the left pane, then click on Shell in the middle pane. Note: If you are using Proxmox VE 8.0 (based on Debian bookworm), you need to run the “rm” command below or Glances will not install. This command will not affect the operation of Proxmox VE 8.0.

rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.*/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED

 apt install glances 
curl -L https://bit.ly/glances | /bin/bash

 apt update

 apt install python3 -y

After that completes, we’ll install pip3 with

apt install python3-pip
