Disable spiceproxy?

[MACscr]

I have no interest in using spiceproxy. Is there a way to disable it cluster wide? No need to have features/resources enabled/running if you are never going to use them.

If you're using PVE 3.X

service spiceproxy stop
update-rc.d spiceproxy remove

With PVE 4.0 normally it would be:

systemctl disable spiceproxy

As systemd has an bug regarding this (its fixed but in a newer version) you have to remove the symlink itself:

systemctl stop spiceproxy
rm /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/spiceproxy.service

If you want to enable it again make a link from:
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/spiceproxy.service -> /lib/systemd/system/spiceproxy.service

Thanks. Unfortunately it will still show in the gui wont it? Do you forsee this causing any problems?

Yes the sub button on the console button still shows spice and users can choose qxl as a display (which is needed for spice) but no connection can be made.
So no problems besides that it's shown, AFAIK.
