It described Django 4.2 on Python 3.11, a distribution list the
installer does not support and no job worker. Now: the stack, the
processes and their units, what each app and vrtManager module holds,
how jobs claim, recover and share a host, and the API's routes; all
read from the code.
The console pages connect to /novncd/ on the address, scheme and port the
page itself was loaded from; nginx proxies it to novncd, which listens on
the loopback only. There is nothing to configure: the console works on
HTTPS (wss), behind another proxy and on any published port.
Before, the page connected to WS_PUBLIC_HOST/PORT/PATH, port 6080 by
default: straight to novncd, past nginx and without TLS, so an HTTPS panel
and a Docker container published on another port had no console until the
public port was set by hand, and novncd listened on every interface.
Gone: WS_PUBLIC_PORT, WS_PUBLIC_HOST, WS_PUBLIC_PATH and WS_CERT, the
installer's two public console questions and its 6080 firewall rule, the
Docker image's WS_PUBLIC_PORT and its init script lines, the manual
install's firewall rule for 6080 and nginx's unused /websockify location.
WS_HOST defaults to 127.0.0.1. A VM with a QEMU websocket port is still
reached on that port of the panel's host name (left for a separate
decision).
The installer and the manual installation install four systemd units
(webvirt-cloud, webvirt-novncd, webvirt-socketiod, webvirt-worker) that
run as the web server's user with absolute paths and read
/etc/default/webvirtcloud. gunicorn, socketiod and the worker stop with
KillMode=mixed, so they wind down their own children. supervisor, its
installer code and the contributed systemd files go; the README gets
the update, rollback and a one-time move from supervisor, and the
installer refuses to run over a supervisor install. Docker keeps runit;
novncd's runit script is the one-line form of the others.
- Remove obsolete spice-html5 static assets and SPICE console templates
- Restrict default console types to VNC with migration 0012
- Filter out SPICE in VM creation form and backend capabilities
- Return friendly deprecation notice if legacy VM is opened with SPICE
- Clean up docs, architecture references, and libvirt-bootstrap scripts
