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.
The xterm console never connected: socketiod expected a different token
format, its worker had no compute credentials, one global console was
shared by every client and its output broadcast to all of them, and the
Docker image did not run socketiod at all.
- console/tokens.py: one authorize() for noVNC and socketiod; the signed
token is the only credential, checked at connect time.
- socketiod: one pty worker per client (consolecallback with the
instance id), one session per VM, a session cap, input and resize
checked; the parent never opens libvirt. The engine.io same-origin
check is on.
- consolecallback: opens the console with the compute's credentials and
exits with a message when it cannot.
- Docker runs socketiod as a runit service; nginx proxies /socket.io/
with Host and the scheme for the origin check. Supervisor and systemd
start it as well; WEBVIRTCLOUD_SERIAL_CONSOLE=1 enables it.
- Tests: token and session unit tests, socketiod as a process, and a
live test that reads SeaBIOS from a wvc-test VM on the TCP and SSH
hosts.
- Prevent baking SECRET_KEY into Docker image during collectstatic
- Persist runtime SECRET_KEY in data/secret_key volume or read from environment
- Remove sed-based injection of CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS in favor of native os.getenv
- Avoid overwriting system python3 symlink on SUSE; auto-detect python 3.10+ binaries
- Make /etc/hosts entry in installer idempotent
- Add security notice regarding compute node VNC/SPICE port firewall isolation
- Add python3-libvirt to apt and configure --system-site-packages for zero-compilation build
- Introduce 10_webvirtcloud_init.sh to handle container startup, migrations, and SQLite persistence
- Exclude host settings.py in .dockerignore for clean builds from settings.py.template
- Add docker-compose.yml with persistent data and SSH volume mounts
- Document Docker Compose deployment in README.md
