desktop version of client?
Hey there, I'm looking for some kind of desktop client for ovirt. I believe as per what I've seen that there's nothing official so I'm looking for any other options (even if it's an own development). As a last resource we can use the web admin but the purpose is to have a few thin clients which would start the client at boot time so it's more confortable for users, plus most times the web admin becomes slow after a while. I'm not sure if something like this exists. In any case thanks for any tip. By the way, we're using ovirt 3.6.7, fwiw. Amy Morrisson
Hello Amy. We had the same needs back in July as we have some classrooms with thin clients and although we don't just offer the oVirt service we wanted something simple so users don't need to open a browser and just handle their machines in a simple way, so I found this project [1] that works quite fine for what we need. Manage virtual machine's power and start a viewer. Period. No more funcionalities (not sure if you need something more sophisticated...). The project has been stopped for a time but it seems that the maintainer is implementing new capabilities and fixing some things lately. As a side note, you didn't mention if your thin clients are linux or windows based but I believe this is for linux only.

Thanks. Our thin clients are linux based so this should fit. Also managing power and having access to a console is enough for us. We will deploy a few of them and try the desktop client these days. Amy 2016-10-29 10:23 GMT+01:00 James Michels <karma.sometimes.hurts@gmail.com>:

Hello, thanks for reporting about this project I didn't know about. By the way on a Fedora 24 client I was able to successfully test it without the need to create a python virtual environment This is with python 2 present in F24 (not tested with the alternative python 3 Python 3.5.1): $ python -V Python 2.7.12 and the currently provided packages: sip-4.18-2.fc24.x86_64 python-qt5-5.6-4.fc24.x86_6 I was able to then run python ovirtclient.py I was not able to using anyway virtualenv (both 2 and 3 versions) that seems anyway sort of broken Without --always-copy switch the sip compilation tried to remove the provided sip.so and clearly it failed With --always-copy I got errors able to temporarily fix changing fix_lib64 function but then error again about importing _io....

Hello, thanks for reporting about this project I didn't know about.
By the way on a Fedora 24 client I was able to successfully test it without the need to create a python virtual environment
The truth is that I didn't do any tests on Fedora, just on Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS & RHEL and seeing the variety of different scenarios I decided to include a way to install both components that should work platform independently. However, it's true that this should be labelled as the "hard way" and if the user is able to install them without the need of a virtualenv, this should also be documented (this is a matter of preference, actually), so I'll update the README soon.
This is with python 2 present in F24 (not tested with the alternative python 3 Python 3.5.1):
$ python -V Python 2.7.12
and the currently provided packages:
sip-4.18-2.fc24.x86_64 python-qt5-5.6-4.fc24.x86_6
I was able to then run
python ovirtclient.py
I was not able to using anyway virtualenv (both 2 and 3 versions) that seems anyway sort of broken Without --always-copy switch the sip compilation tried to remove the provided sip.so and clearly it failed With --always-copy I got errors able to temporarily fix changing fix_lib64 function but then error again about importing _io....
I faced the last error a few days ago and it was because a version mismatch of different python components. I simply upgraded all the python related packages to the latest version, re-created the virtualenv and it worked. Not sure if that is the only one reason, but it worked in my case. Thanks for the feedback. Nicolás

I wonder coincidentally we started to explore simplified and modern interface for use cases like yours. Its by no means ready yet, but I wonder what you guys think about [1]. Its just a proof of concept but the goals are the same, its browser-based but much more lightweight than the current GWT Basic User Portal
Thanks, michal
Looks good! This would even suffice our needs quite well. Actually, in our case we tried to avoid using a web browser because these thin clients are very specific for virtualization, so users should use them *only* to manage their VMs and if they need to browse something, it would be done from a VM they have access to (for example, a disposable machine from a VmPool). Anyhow, this can also be done with a bit of tweaking on the browser side, so if the project is finally released we'll consider it. Regards, Nicolás
As a side note, you didn't mention if your thin clients are linux or windows based but I believe this is for linux only.

By the way, we're using ovirt 3.6.7, fwiw.
There is gnome-boxes, that in principle has support for ovirt. I tried it, and noticed it tries to connect to /api instead of /ovirt-engine/api - former was removed in 4.0. Tried to fix this but it still didn't work, so filed this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=773726 FYI. -- Didi
