eventlet is in maintenance mode. socketiod now runs python-socketio in
threading mode under gunicorn (one gthread worker, which holds the
sessions), with simple-websocket, already a python-engineio dependency.
gunicorn waits 1 s on stop: an open console never finishes, and its
worker ends when the pty closes. The forward loop waits in select
instead of polling, and a stopped worker is reaped by a blocking
waitpid. eventlet leaves the requirements.
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.
