Hi community,
I hope you can help me on this one.
My oVirt cluster is deployed on an internal network (10.1.30.0/24). At the moment I am
trying to make the VM-Portal publicly available so people can administer their vms with
the portal and noVNC.
I have read the oVirt Documentation (as well as trying a couple of things) and found that
the best way to accomplish this is by installing a proxy server which proxies HTTP and
HTTPS to the engine.
To get the noVNC working I have to install the ovirt-engine-websocket-proxy on the proxy
host as well and set it up.
For the proxy host I'm using centos 8.
For the HTTP and HTTPS proxy I'm using haproxy (which is working perfectly already).
For the noVNC Proxy I'm trying to follow the documentation
(
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_eng...)
but am facing a couple of issues.
Issues start with removing the websocket proxy from the engine machine.
I put the cluster into global-maintenance-mode and run "engine-cleanup" as told
in the docs:
[root@engine ~]# engine-cleanup
[ INFO ] Stage: Initializing
[ INFO ] Stage: Environment setup
Configuration files: /etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/10-packaging-jboss.conf,
/etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/10-packaging.conf,
/etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/20-setup-ovirt-post.conf

As you can see the output differs a bit from the docs.
Instead of being asked "Do you want to remove all components? (Yes, No) [Yes]:
No" I'm being notified that all data will be lost when continuing.
Of course I do not want to loose all data so I abort the cleanup.
I then tried to just install the websocket-proxy on the proxy server and ran into the next
issue.
On the proxy server I am also following the docs and running "yum install
ovirt-engine-websocket-proxy" followed by "engine-setup":
[root@proxy ~]# engine-setup
[ INFO ] Stage: Initializing
[ INFO ] Stage: Environment setup

As you can see it failed at stage "'Misc configuration':

Here I did try to disable SElinux as well as enforcing it (as set at default) without any
success.
Am I on the right approach to make the VM-Portal publicly avalible by doing this or is
there a better / more supported way?
Can you help me out on getting this running or pointing me in the right direction (if this
is the right approach)?
Thank you guys!
Best regards,
Tivon
I'm new to the community but will help to keep oVirt growing and support where I can.
