VNC: Failed to connect...

[tim taler]

Hi all,
I've set up a small proxmox cluster - installed on top of a debian stretch with apt-get install proxmox-ve ...
All fine and smooth.

Only hickup is that I can only VNC into the VMs that are running on that machine that I'm connected to on the gui. If I want to connect to a VM running on another clusternode it says "Failed to connect to server"
I restartet pveproxy but no change...

I DON'T have PermitRootLogin configured with password-less access (authorized_keys), on the proxmox nodes, might that be the cause or is it something else?

best regards
T

yes the cross-node vnc needs ssh access with private/public key on root to be abe to route the vnc traffic to other nodes
