NAME

       nova-novncproxy - Server for the OpenStack Compute VNC console proxy service.

SYNOPSIS

          nova-novncproxy [<options>...]

DESCRIPTION

       nova-novncproxy  is  a  server  daemon that serves the Nova noVNC Websocket Proxy service,
       which provides a websocket proxy that is compatible with OpenStack Nova noVNC consoles.

OPTIONS

General options

--config-dir DIR
Path to a config directory to pull *.conf files from. This file set is sorted, so
as to provide a predictable parse order if individual options are over-ridden. The
set is parsed after the file(s) specified via previous --config-file, arguments
hence over-ridden options in the directory take precedence. This option must be
set from the command-line.

--config-file PATH
Path to a config file to use. Multiple config files can be specified, with values
in later files taking precedence. Defaults to None. This option must be set from
the command-line.

--debug, -d
Set the logging level to DEBUG instead of the default INFO level.

--log-config-append PATH, --log-config PATH, --log_config PATH
The name of a logging configuration file. This file is appended to any existing
logging configuration files. For details about logging configuration files, see
the Python logging module documentation. Note that when logging configuration files
are used then all logging configuration is set in the configuration file and other
logging configuration options are ignored (for example, log-date-format).

--log-date-format DATE_FORMAT
Defines the format string for %(asctime)s in log records. Default: None . This
option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

--log-dir LOG_DIR, --logdir LOG_DIR
(Optional) The base directory used for relative log_file paths. This option is
ignored if log_config_append is set.

--log-file PATH, --logfile PATH
(Optional) Name of log file to send logging output to. If no default is set,
logging will go to stderr as defined by use_stderr. This option is ignored if
log_config_append is set.

--nodebug
The inverse of --debug.

--nouse-journal
The inverse of --use-journal.

--nouse-json
The inverse of --use-json.

--nouse-syslog
The inverse of --use-syslog.

--nowatch-log-file
The inverse of --watch-log-file.

--syslog-log-facility SYSLOG_LOG_FACILITY
Syslog facility to receive log lines. This option is ignored if log_config_append
is set.

--use-journal
Enable journald for logging. If running in a systemd environment you may wish to
enable journal support. Doing so will use the journal native protocol which
includes structured metadata in addition to log messages.This option is ignored if
log_config_append is set.

--use-json
Use JSON formatting for logging. This option is ignored if log_config_append is
set.

--use-syslog
Use syslog for logging. Existing syslog format is DEPRECATED and will be changed
later to honor RFC5424. This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

--version
Show program's version number and exit

--watch-log-file
Uses logging handler designed to watch file system. When log file is moved or
removed this handler will open a new log file with specified path instantaneously.
It makes sense only if log_file option is specified and Linux platform is used.
This option is ignored if log_config_append is set.

Websockify options

--cert CERT
Path to SSL certificate file.

--daemon
Run as a background process.

--key KEY
SSL key file (if separate from cert).

--nodaemon
The inverse of --daemon.

--nosource_is_ipv6
The inverse of --source_is_ipv6.

--nossl_only
The inverse of --ssl_only.

--record RECORD
Filename that will be used for storing websocket frames received and sent by a
proxy service (like VNC, spice, serial) running on this host. If this is not set,
no recording will be done.

--source_is_ipv6
Set to True if source host is addressed with IPv6.

--ssl_only
Disallow non-encrypted connections.

--web WEB
Path to directory with content which will be served by a web server.

VNC options

--vnc-auth_schemes VNC_AUTH_SCHEMES
The authentication schemes to use with the compute node. Control what RFB
authentication schemes are permitted for connections between the proxy and the
compute host. If multiple schemes are enabled, the first matching scheme will be
used, thus the strongest schemes should be listed first.

--vnc-novncproxy_host VNC_NOVNCPROXY_HOST
IP address that the noVNC console proxy should bind to. The VNC proxy is an
OpenStack component that enables compute service users to access their instances
through VNC clients. noVNC provides VNC support through a websocket-based client.
This option sets the private address to which the noVNC console proxy service
should bind to.

--vnc-novncproxy_port VNC_NOVNCPROXY_PORT
Port that the noVNC console proxy should bind to. The VNC proxy is an OpenStack
component that enables compute service users to access their instances through VNC
clients. noVNC provides VNC support through a websocket-based client. This option
sets the private port to which the noVNC console proxy service should bind to.

--vnc-vencrypt_ca_certs VNC_VENCRYPT_CA_CERTS
The path to the CA certificate PEM file The fully qualified path to a PEM file
containing one or more x509 certificates for the certificate authorities used by
the compute node VNC server.

--vnc-vencrypt_client_cert VNC_VENCRYPT_CLIENT_CERT
The path to the client key file (for x509) The fully qualified path to a PEM file
containing the x509 certificate which the VNC proxy server presents to the compute
node during VNC authentication.

--vnc-vencrypt_client_key VNC_VENCRYPT_CLIENT_KEY
The path to the client certificate PEM file (for x509) The fully qualified path to
a PEM file containing the private key which the VNC proxy server presents to the
compute node during VNC authentication.

Debugger options

--remote_debug-host REMOTE_DEBUG_HOST
Debug host (IP or name) to connect to. This command line parameter is used when you
want to connect to a nova service via a debugger running on a different host. Note
that using the remote debug option changes how Nova uses the eventlet library to
support async IO. This could result in failures that do not occur under normal
operation. Use at your own risk.

--remote_debug-port REMOTE_DEBUG_PORT
Debug port to connect to. This command line parameter allows you to specify the
port you want to use to connect to a nova service via a debugger running on
different host. Note that using the remote debug option changes how Nova uses the
eventlet library to support async IO. This could result in failures that do not
occur under normal operation. Use at your own risk.
