Proxmox VE tips

Just some tips I gathered over time. All in one easily reachable place so I can share it wherever I want.

Please note that unless you see a shebang (#!/...) these code blocks are usually meant to be copy & pasted directly into the shell. Some of the steps will not work if you run part of them in a script and copy paste other ones as they rely on variables set before.
The { and } surrounding some scripts are meant to avoid poisoning your bash history with individual commands, etc. You can ignore them if you manually copy paste the individual commands.
I chose to write things "in the open" that way so there's still some control and things don't become a black box.

Screen Controller (PowerShell)

A simple PowerShell script to reliably control monitor/display state.

This uses the same method as when a computer display times out through normal power settings. Unlike tools like ControlMyMonitor that change monitor hardware settings and actually power off the monitor, this script uses Windows messaging to place displays into standby (not a full power-off) and runs entirely in PowerShell with no external dependencies. You can wake the screens manually by moving the mouse or pressing a key and allowing a few seconds for them to resume, or wake them remotely through the script.

Use -TurnOff to put displays into standby, or -TurnOn to wake them.
