New openmediavault-kvm plugin

Zitat von ryecoaaron

The container itself has to be able to resolve the OMV host's name. If you are using 1.1.1.1, that will not know the ip address for your hostname. Can you try changing your OMV system's dns server to your router?

Found what was blocking noVNC, can't Force Secure connection only on OMV (System, General Settings, Enable SSL/TLS true, Force SSL/TLS true)

Having just Enable SSL/TLS true, works ok, although it slows connection time and may not connect on 1st attempt.

Once that was solved I done some tests with DNS settings, I found noVNC would still connect via hostname.local with any DNS server ip, tried router-dns-server ip and cloudflares 1.1.1.1, still worked.

Although that may be from your recent changes to use "the host's IP address instead of the hostname"

Can I ask for 1 feature request?

Could "?resize=remote&&autoconnect=1" be added to the containers connection string?

Complete string would be like http://hostname.local:8081/vnc…ize=remote&&autoconnect=1

Many many thanks for the great plugin and the fast responses.

PS Just tested connecting via VMC-Viewer and noVNC on pc's at the same time, all 3 can connect at the same time, this is handy for me as I do forget to close things, ole fella syndrome...

I went ahead and released 5.0.16 that uses the host's IP address instead of the hostname. Let me know if it works now.

It is fine if the /etc/hosts file has the right value in it.

Mine did not.

I just changed it to my host real ip.

Like that and now it all works fine.

Feature requests @ryecoaaron

1.

Would it possible to store the Spice, VNC & noVNC port numbers with each vm?

This would allow the AutoStart feature to be complete.

Done a reboot of server test yesterday, the 1 gap in it all is the noVNC docker container is not running.

The container Restart policies may have to be changed to "Unless Stopped", "Always" or "On Failure", the "Unless Stopped" option would be flexible for me.

Fingers crossed this is not outside the scope of the KVM plugin.

2.

Option to turn auto refresh on or off

I have found Auto refresh makes a selection from combobox list a task that needs to be done to quickly, I like to read through the available options before making a selection, but the auto refresh keeps closing the list on me.

Sorry my bad just figured out why mine did not have the right values.

It was because I haven't sat any static ip on my OMV. I was running with the default DHCP ip given by the router when I installed OMV. My file now looks like this after I setup static ip:

That is why i thought swtching to IP address would fix the dns issues.

It fixed it for me I think. I just had to set static ip on my OMV so the hosts file would be generated with the right values.

Before when my file looked like this the docker that was created used the 127.0.1.1 ip as remote host variable and that did not work for me:

But after I setup my OMV ip to static ip and it look like this: :

The docker that was made now did use the 192.168.2.164 ip and that worked.

I have now double issue....

I make running VM from cocpit of OMV, and run the OMV just fine, except one thing.. dont know, how to make it in same range as other machines in my house.... i am running on 192.168.1.X and created pool on VM is default running on 192.168.122.X and dont know, how to make it bridged like i have it bridget on oracle VM virtualbox, where it works absolutely fine on testing machines to have them all in same pool like pluged it in the same main switch in the house.....

second thing is, that i am not able to install and run correctly in docker "pihole" because of port 53 to make it working like DNS server for mikrotik which have DHCP server on it to make whole house AD-free...

i suppose that this should be double problem, which should be solvable with one solution... could you please help me with that?

(on testing VM with OMV pihole works, but there is different cockpit version and dont know why/how and if this is the problem or not... thanks)

ryecoaaron is it safe for me to add the package libguestfs-tools to OMV?

Checking to make sure it doesn't harm the KVM plugin.

Wanting to use the P2V tool.

I was using this plugin to run Windows VMs and figured out that when using the "virt viewer" the auto resizing the screen did not work. But I figured out why.

It was because the VM was missing something called "Channel spice" it is a device in the VM. The xml code looks like this:

    <channel type='spicevmc'>
      <target type='virtio' name='com.redhat.spice.0'/>
      <address type='virtio-serial' controller='0' bus='0' port='1'/>
    </channel>

Would it maybe be a thing you could add?

Did the option to add a Sound Card to a VM get added or dropped from the KVM plugin?

Zitat von ryecoaaron

Show advanced options

Thanks ryecoaaron

I can't believe I have over looked that for so long, doh, note to self again, read the b#%@#&* screen.

Is the way of adding a sound card to an existing VM via creating a new VM (with Audio On) and attaching the existing VM storage volume ?

Or can it be added via the Edit XML method ?

Hi,

Random question let's say I have 2 PCI Nic cards is there away to assign then to a VM?
