VNC Api

[unechtemoritz]

Hello!

I am currently trying to make a VNC connection to VM's without creating an extra user or setting a cookie.
I have seen that it is possible with many others. https://github.com/novnc/noVNC

My idea was to create my own Websockify server with NoVNC (e.g. at vnc.domain.de) which then connects to the respective VM.

I can connect to Websockify, but fly out after a short time and of course I don't get any data.




Is my thought maybe fundamentally wrong? I know it is possible somehow, just not how. Maybe someone can help.

Thanks!

how do you connect to the vm? what you are describing should be possible, but could interfere with the built-in consoles..

I don't know how to connect it to the VM via websockify, it is possible, I know, just not how.

see here how you can configure vnc access to a vm: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VNC_Client_Access

I know that, but it's for a single VM. how do i do this for everyone? does that work via the API?

how do i do this for everyone?

by doing it for every vm, there is no built-in way to expose the vnc part of a vm any other way

does that work via the API?

both setting the 'args' and executing qemu monitor commands should work via the api

thus means:

- I set this vnc access via the api for each vm
- But then proxmox (build in) can no longer access it

Do I then need a server for each vm for websockify?
Isn't there an easy way to deploy VNC through the API?

Hey sorry to bringing up this form again, did you find a way to do this "create my own Websockify server with NoVNC (e.g. at vnc.domain.de) which then connects to the respective VM" ? I have exactly the same idea but keep getting errors, cheers
