Console wont connect to VMs on external HOST

[emdo-pa]

As in topic, WebConsole aquires IP address from VMS config and tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 on port 5900 (for the first VM). To be able to connect I was forced to manualy edit XML and set the address to some routable address.

A good starting pooint would be to take an IP from the Host's Connection details (when used as a qemu+ssh/tcp/tls)

That's exactly what is done but address must be set to 0.0.0.0 as 127.0.0.1 won't allow remote connections:

seems it doesnt work in my case,
CUTELYST_VERSION=v2.6.0
VIRTLYST_VERSION=v1.2.0

in logs i can see:
6:8 virtlyst.ws[debug] Connecting TCP socket to "0.0.0.0" 5900 6:8 virtlyst.ws[warning] Console Proxy error: QAbstractSocket::ConnectionRefusedError "Connection refused"

in XML of a VM I had set:
<graphics listen="0.0.0.0" autoport="yes" port="5900" passwd="TryToGuess" type="spice"> <listen address="0.0.0.0" type="address"/> <image compression="off"/> </graphics>

and on a HOST system, port is open and listening
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5900 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 7097/qemu-system-x86....

Virtlyst is using QEMU+SSH to a host 192.168.4.10

This is fixed in git master, I haven't tagget a Virtlyst release after that yet

Is it possible to use ssh to redirect if 127.0.01 is used? I'm using localhost and virt-manager can do this with ssh without any problems. Maybe libvirt already supports it?

[dantti]

Both use libvirt under the hood so likely possible, the main issue with SSH is if it want's to prompt for password, you better use ssh-keys then

Yeah, I already added ssh key and it works perfect. Just the console is not working because I like to use localhost and authorization over ssh.
Do you have a hint for me where libvirt is called in Virtlyst? So I can look into it.

hmm don't know exactly what you want, but likely https://github.com/cutelyst/Virtlyst/blob/master/src/lib/connection.cpp
