[GitHub] [cloudstack] weizhouapache opened a new issue #4803: GSoC 2021 Idea: Add SPICE console for vms on KVM/XenServer
weizhouapache opened a new issue #4803:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/4803
## Background
CloudStack provides ajax vnc view and novnc console to access vm. It would be good to have spice console for vms on kvm/xenserver.
## Proposed Tasks
- Get started on basic CloudStack codebase and development (building and running CloudStack)
- Setup KVM based CloudStack dev/test environment
- Setup Xenserver based CloudStack dev/test environment
- Test websockify-based SPICE console
- Add websockify/spice-html5 source code in cloudstack
- Run websockify server with token authentication
- Implement a http server in CPVM to verify websockify token.
- Create URL with a token to access novnc/spice console
ps1: VNC password will be removed from vm xml definition as it is not supported by websockify.
ps2: websockify-based novnc console can be added as well.
### Relevant Skills
- Java
- python (few)
- networking (few)

@weizhouapache compared to our current noVNC, what are the pros/cons of this feature? (I would imagine people using rdp etc if they want sound etc support)

We tried to increase the video memory (ram, vram, vgaram) from default 16MB to 65MB, the same result.
Maybe spice-html5 doesn't support qxl. I will submit an issue to spice-html5.
I tried spice-web-client which work better but some icon and text mirror vertical.

@hooklee2000
have you tried with more memory and/or video ram ?
see ram, vram, vgaram in https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#video-devices
spice-server is great. It looks difficult to integrate it into cloudstack.

I tried latest spice-html5 to connect a vm guest installing windows 7 ( on CentOS7 default qemu 1.5.3,libvirt 4.5.0)，it work well including video,audio without guest qxl driver .
With qxl driver, mouse cursor was misposition and some image overlap.

@rohityadavcloud
I thought that the SPICE has better performance than noVNC, esp on windows vms. However, as I know after I created this ticket, SPICE console does not have significant performance improvement than NoVNC console.
Let's close this ticket, and reopen if needed.
