 nova-novncproxy (noVNC)

You must install the noVNC package, which contains the nova-novncproxy service.

As root, run the following command:

# apt-get install novnc

The service starts automatically on installation.

To restart it, run the following command:

# service novnc restart

The configuration option parameter should point to your nova.conf file, which includes the message queue server address and credentials.

By default, nova-novncproxy binds on 0.0.0.0:6080.

To connect the service to your nova deployment, add the following configuration options to your nova.conf file:

  • vncserver_listen=0.0.0.0

    Specifies the address on which the VNC service should bind. Make sure it is assigned one of the compute node interfaces. This address is the one used by your domain file.

     <graphics type="vnc" autoport="yes" keymap="en-us" listen="0.0.0.0"/>
    [Note]Note

    To use live migration, use the 0.0.0.0 address.

  • vncserver_proxyclient_address=127.0.0.1

    The address of the compute host that nova instructs proxies to use when connecting to instance vncservers.
