Spice and HTML5 support for Horizon
https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/nova+branch:master+topic:bp/libvirt-spice,n,z
Horizon support was merged in this: https://review.openstack.org/#/q/project:openstack/horizon+branch:master+topic:bp/libvirt-spice,n,z This makes use of the SPICE-HTML5 widget for display. As it standard this doesn't really offer any compelling advantage over using VNC. To get access to the good SPICE features we need to have a standalone SPICE client that speaks websockets. I filed this bug to track that https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913607
This functionality is part of the upstream Grizzly GA. However, in order for us to have end to end Spice functionality in RHOS, we need to add the spice-html5 component in 956434. This will not be done in RHOS 3.0 timeframe, so spice support in RHOS 3.0 is not fully supportable
What's missing here? At least, in Icehouse, HTML5 SPICE support works, but not out-of-the box when using packstack. To enable HTML5 SPICE support on a packstack-deployed OpenStack, one has to install the spice-html5 package and tinker with /etc/nova/nova.conf.
We have a customers that are looking to take advantage of some of the features of spice and Would like to know if they will be possible through the limited opteration of html5? -One of the workloads we will be running (EyeOS) has requested this K-V-M protocol -Audio support Thanks
Does EyeOS want spice support through the client or Spice-html?
Since the release of RHOSP5 on both RHEL6 and 7, I am still searching for the supported way to implement spice through RHOSP5?
Per the release note on this bug: "Support for SPICE remote console access was recently added to the Compute (Nova) and Dashboard (Horizon) services. The spice-html5 package required to support SPICE access is however not included in this release. As such SPICE remote console access remains unsupported at this time." We never got an answer back to Andy's Q in comment # 20 to facilitate either.
Can someone confirm if the spice-html5 package will be included on OSP 6? Or point me to where I can check this info?
spice-html5 is not currently in OSP 6, we would need to re-investigate whether it is any more usable/supportable.
