Re: Graphical Console for VMs w/o Network Stacks
Hi,
there is a VNC button if you click on instance link in Dashboard.
Instructions on how to make it work are below.
1. Get Nova
mkdir ~/src
bzr branch lp:nova
2. Get noVNC
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/openstack/noVNC.git
3. Get and install my branch of dashboard
cd ~/src
bzr branch lp:openstack-dashboard
cd openstack-dashboard/openstack-dashboard
python tools/install_venv.py
cp local/local_settings.py.example local/local_settings.py
4. Install and run Nova
cd ~/src/nova
sudo contrib/nova.sh install .
sudo contrib/nova.sh run .
5. Run vncproxy
Create new screen window with <ctrl>-a <ctrl>-c
bin/nova-vncproxy --vncproxy_wwwroot ~/src/noVNC
6. Run dashboard
Create new screen window with <ctrl>-a <ctrl>-c
Prepare dashboard's db (once):
cd ~/src/openstack-dashboard/openstack-dashboard
tools/with_venv.sh dashboard/manage.py syncdb
When asked to create superuser, type "yes" and create user with name
admin and any email and password.
cd ~/src/openstack-dashboard/openstack-dashboard
tools/with_venv.sh dashboard/manage.py runserver 8080
Now you can navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080, login with user admin and
specified password and have fun.

Mike Scherbakov
