Hi, I am planning to deploy oVirt 4.0.0 in a production environment where initially it will host 150 VDIs and will expand by 20 to 25 in subsequent years with Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Users will be accessing these VDIs from their android tab or any tiny thin client devices which will have only very small footprint OS with HTML5 supported browser. I wish to give users to access the VDIs over WAN(from their home or on travel). Is it possible to access the VDIs via spice-html5 over the WAN. Any special configurations to be made to enable it? How should I make spice-html5 as the default protocol to access the VDIs? -- With Regards, RK, +91 9840483044
I would ask this in the spice mailing lists.

Please note that official win8+ qxl driver is not ready yet so you won't have continuous resolution change (just in steps of well-known resolutions), multi monitor support and some video performance optimizations with those OSs

Please consider use of native apps: aSpice/Opaque [1] or "flexVDI Client" [2] or moVirt [3]. Opaque and moVirt give you oVirt integration right away, flexVDI has iOS support [1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Iordan%20Iordanov%20%28Undat... [2] https://github.com/flexVDI/launcher-mobile [3] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.ovirt.mobile.movirt All of them are going to have better UX than spice-html5. FlexVDI also developed their own html5 client (available at their github as well) with some stuff better and some worse than spice-html5 client.

IIRC spice-html5 supports all the compression types so protocol-side optimizations should be available automatically and without issues. The "WAN options" of user portal mean that agent disables "fancy" bits of Windows graphics, the only support from client is to do the setting when establishing connection. You could give it a try
Any special configurations to be made to enable it? How should I make spice-html5 as the default protocol to access the VDIs?
set ClientModeSpiceDefault engine-config variable to Html5 (as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1311408 ) HTH, David

We maintain a fork of the qxl-dod driver which fixes some of those problems. You can find it in our repo [1], and also in binary form [2].
