NOVA-NOVNCPROXY(1) nova NOVA-NOVNCPROXY(1)

NAME

nova-novncproxy - Server for the OpenStack Compute VNC console proxy service.

SYNOPSIS

nova-novncproxy [<options>...]


DESCRIPTION

nova-novncproxy is a server daemon that serves the Nova noVNC Websocket Proxy service, which provides a websocket proxy that is compatible with OpenStack Nova noVNC consoles.

OPTIONS

General options

Path to a config directory to pull *.conf files from. This file set is sorted, so as to provide a predictable parse order if individual options are over-ridden. The set is parsed after the file(s) specified via previous --config-file, arguments hence over-ridden options in the directory take precedence. This option must be set from the command-line.

Path to a config file to use. Multiple config files can be specified, with values in later files taking precedence. Defaults to None. This option must be set from the command-line.

Set the logging level to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level.

The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see the Python logging module documentation. Note that when logging configuration files are used then all logging configuration is set in the configuration file and other logging configuration options are ignored (for example, log-date-format).

Defines the format string for %(asctime)s in log records. Default: None . This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

(Optional) The base directory used for relative log_file paths. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

(Optional) Name of log file to send logging output to. If no default is set, logging will go to stderr as defined by use_stderr. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

The inverse of --debug.

The inverse of --use-journal.

The inverse of --use-json.

The inverse of --use-syslog.

The inverse of --watch-log-file.

Syslog facility to receive log lines. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Enable journald for logging. If running in a systemd environment you may wish to enable journal support. Doing so will use the journal native protocol which includes structured metadata in addition to log messages.This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Use JSON formatting for logging. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Use syslog for logging. Existing syslog format is DEPRECATED and will be changed later to honor RFC5424. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Show program's version number and exit

Uses logging handler designed to watch file system. When log file is moved or removed this handler will open a new log file with specified path instantaneously. It makes sense only if log_file option is specified and Linux platform is used. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Websockify options

Path to SSL certificate file.

Run as a background process.

SSL key file (if separate from cert).

The inverse of --daemon.

The inverse of --source_is_ipv6.

The inverse of --ssl_only.

Filename that will be used for storing websocket frames received and sent by a proxy service (like VNC, spice, serial) running on this host. If this is not set, no recording will be done.

Set to True if source host is addressed with IPv6.

Disallow non-encrypted connections.

Path to directory with content which will be served by a web server.

VNC options

The authentication schemes to use with the compute node. Control what RFB authentication schemes are permitted for connections between the proxy and the compute host. If multiple schemes are enabled, the first matching scheme will be used, thus the strongest schemes should be listed first.

IP address that the noVNC console proxy should bind to. The VNC proxy is an OpenStack component that enables compute service users to access their instances through VNC clients. noVNC provides VNC support through a websocket-based client. This option sets the private address to which the noVNC console proxy service should bind to.

Port that the noVNC console proxy should bind to. The VNC proxy is an OpenStack component that enables compute service users to access their instances through VNC clients. noVNC provides VNC support through a websocket-based client. This option sets the private port to which the noVNC console proxy service should bind to.

The path to the CA certificate PEM file The fully qualified path to a PEM file containing one or more x509 certificates for the certificate authorities used by the compute node VNC server.

The path to the client key file (for x509) The fully qualified path to a PEM file containing the x509 certificate which the VNC proxy server presents to the compute node during VNC authentication.

The path to the client certificate PEM file (for x509) The fully qualified path to a PEM file containing the private key which the VNC proxy server presents to the compute node during VNC authentication.

Debugger options

Debug host (IP or name) to connect to. This command line parameter is used when you want to connect to a nova service via a debugger running on a different host. Note that using the remote debug option changes how Nova uses the eventlet library to support async IO. This could result in failures that do not occur under normal operation. Use at your own risk.
