NoVNC access to VM or containers

[tootai]

Hi,

using API I'm able to get all the stuff done like

> GET /api2/json/nodes/pve/qemu/100/vncwebsocket?port=5900&vncticket=PVEVNC%3a65609AFD%3a%3agwyNlgcUgpihXZH1UL7aE%2fQIcqEaAjBchw4T1h6U7ZnlF4XkbKGmvrPe7Z3ga6K3Vdb%2brrX6wMxdUUwO9b7xpQRGdxAy4X%2flk9DHORp52G%2b2LGJIstKmloOjlvKeBUCMiqp71W6czkpHpHRdQgQlFATWvqNm5Cz9%2fPHeCBX865FwlXd7iRbxTMnuY2p7d7DeX3Rx59%2f2ViGq5JAvJ%2fMYlfrZC0tKOBOZPHqX4d%2fmBPrXHx8kw5drGp4rNzMmlIAsRNy5jJDpaOAhqHLeToj2JEyu0w9XfcBuKGryKPzGjCr3233%2fLUrvypn6lMQgploBXJPJFW88sJ%2bfFtR2i6Xa%2bw== HTTP/1.1

which end up with

* Connection #0 to host proxmox.example.com left intact
{"data":{"port":"5900"}}

From now, how to launch firefox to open a console using novnc ? If it matter I get it work with novnc console from Hetzner using URL https://novnc.com/noVNC/vnc.html

Other question: is it possible through API to start/stop/reboot/have status/... of VMs or containers (not using qm or pct or pvesh)

Thanks for your support

Daniel

There are a few threads about this that might help you out:

I started a project years ago and it worked.

At the moment I am of the opinion that the ProxMox API gives me a port, but this is only open for a very short time. (max. 5-10 Seconds)

Of course there is no error message...

Everything that is written here in the forum about the VNC proxy is very unclear.

The fact is that with vncwebsocket only a forwarding header is "activated".

This means that the PVECookie must be included... But no 0815 user should receive it, that's why I simply wrote a reverse proxy in Java...

Vanilla VNC Server <--> WebSocket Server <--> NoVNC.
