Docker container with a web UI to manage virtual machines? (lemy.lol)

I run Home Assistant in a virtual machine on my home server. Sometimes I need to restart it and I'm not always in a position to SSH or VNC in and I can never remember the command so I have to look it up every time. Is there anything out there that would allow me to do this quickly?

EDIT: The VM is in virtualbox.

That's what I do now, just looking for something where I don't have to lookup the command and type it in with my phone

Set an alias in shell for the complicated command, then just ssh and type the alias that is easier to remember.

Ahh, I see. Someone else mentioned portainer, that has a lot of "click to do bleh" functions. Might be what the doctor ordered. You could also put the command in a bash script, like restart.sh and then it'll show up with an ls.
