Possible to use Console via Mac web browser?

I recall in the past (on a bit older of an oVirt build) I was able to launch VM consoles from my web browser. I believe it may have been using spice html5 at the time, is this still possible? Currently launching console downloads the typical .vv file. What is currently the best/easiest method to access VM consoles using MacOS?

spice-html5 was removed in 4.2. For web-based in admin portal, you can use novnc. For VM Portal, it's a gap -- we currently only support .vv download only. https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-web-ui/issues/490 I have currently targeted this to VM Portal 1.4.2, to be released on August 10. Best wishes, Greg

I've not had any luck on MacOS for a while now, even the .vv files with RemoteViewer 0.5.7 I get a dialog saying unable to connect to the graphical server <path to .vv file> Same servers work just fine from a Windows client though.

I guess there are console options, where you can set HTML5 now. Check on the small “arrow” next to the console icon.

I got it working in chrome by setting spice+vnc then selecting the novnc option in the console options On Thu, Aug 2, 2018, 6:50 PM Christophe TREFOIS, <christophe.trefois@uni.lu> wrote:

Yes, that is currently the most flexible option. That way you can choose between VNC (most compatible, web-based client) and SPICE (better performance, features when you have supported client installed) at runtime Thanks michal
