After getting the termproxy and vncwebsocket end points working I've run into something with virtual machines which I will document here for others to see. The basics are you need a serial terminal for the websocket to work properly. You will need to add a serial0: socket config to the VM like this

	task, err = vm.Config(
		VirtualMachineOption{Name: "serial0", Value: "socket"},
	)

if you do not have the interface setup your proxy will return unable to find a serial interface. When you have the socket seriali interface configured you will see the following starting serial terminal on interface serial0.

Just adding the interface is not everything, you will need to follow the guide to configure the guest Virtual Machine actually use it, ideally this can be documented on how to setup cloud-init or ignition to bootstrap the serial0 socket device properly and move to a wiki how-to guide.

The basics are you need a [serial terminal](https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Serial_Terminal) for the websocket to work properly. You will need to add a `serial0: socket` config to the VM like this ``` task, err = vm.Config( VirtualMachineOption{Name: "serial0", Value: "socket"}, ) ``` if you do not have the interface setup your proxy will return `unable to find a serial interface`.
