Easy but secure ways to start VMs on multiple nodes from single UI?

I have converted two home PCs to run pve. I purchased miniPC which now runs PBS, NFS and other services for the two home PCs. The two home PCs are only switched on by demand, the miniPC is always on.

I am looking for a ”family friendly way” to launch VMs and on the two home PCs and restart the nodes from a single UI. Right now I am doing this through a management VM running on the miniPC that is connected by wire to both home PCs over dedicated management network.

The solution I now have is not family friendly, because you have to first login to the management VM, then open browser to a node management interface, login to the management interface, then find the VM you want to start and start it.

Is there an easier UI available that could simply handle start/stop VM on a node or restart the node (nodes need to restart often because of using passthrough devices)? The solution should not compromise security (wired connection between the devices solely used for management purposes).

I've thought of building a simple management program myself from scratch, but that would require of me to study the API commands of pve and I am no script kid, so it would take considerable amount of time and coffee whilst arguing with a coding LLM to put something useful together.
