[Users] SpiceHTML5, noVNC console and Spice Proxy mixable?

[Frantisek Kobzik]

Hi,

the answer to the 1st question is 'yes'. You can use both SPICE-HTML5 and noVNC with a single proxy setup.

Coming to next questions:
- is it mixable with the two above or are they mutually exclusive?
 - IMHO it should work. the data flow would look like this:
   client <--> websocket proxy <--> spice proxy <--> VM
   I'm not sure if this is what you want.
- can I configure the engine itself to be the proxy, installing squid on it?
   I cannot tell for sure, but IMHO it shouldn't be a problem.
- If yes, what would be correct parameter for SpiceProxyDefault (localhost vs. fqdn):
   I believe 'localhost' is wrong since this value is sent to the client. And this client can misinterpret this value and try to connect to itself. In short, the spice proxy value should be correctly resolvable from client machines.

(Adding Tomas to verify the last answer.)

Cheers,
Frank.

Subject: [Users] SpiceHTML5, noVNC console and Spice Proxy mixable?

Hello,
I already have a thread regarding SpiceHTML5 open and where I'm going
to give further feedback as requested.
In the mean time I would like to ask if the three features in the
subject are completely mixable or not, as in the next days I'm going
to test them all and I would like to start from consistent setup and
not to give wrong answers based on wrong initial setup.

If I understood correctly, both SpiceHTML5 and noVNC console are based
on websocket proxy through the config parameter called WebSocketProxy
and I can consolidate this proxy on the engine. SO that I can in the
same environment use both.
Correct?

Coming then to Spice Proxy, managed by config parameter
"SpiceProxyDefault", my questions are:
- is it mixable with the two above or are they mutually exclusive?
- can I configure the engine itself to be the proxy, installing squid on it?
- If yes, what would be correct parameter for SpiceProxyDefault:
localhost:3128 or engine_hostname.domainname:3128?
If both are ok, I think it is more convenient to use localhost, correct?

Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
