All;
We have a Victoria cluster, and I'd like to switch from VNC to SPICE. Cluster is installed with packages (RDO), and configured manually.
I have located https://docs.openstack.org/nova/victoria/admin/remote-console-access.html, but this doesn't tell me which services need to be installed on which servers.
Looking at packages, I'm fairly certain nova-spicehtml5proxy (openstack-nova-spicehtml5proxy on CentOS 8) needs to be installed where the nova-novncproxy is currently.
I also suspect that qemu-kvm-ui-spice needs to be installed on the nova-compute nodes. Is spice-server needed on the nova-compute nodes?
Not an answer, but I'd be very careful about building solutions based on SPICE. It has been deprecated in RHEL 8.3 and recent versions of Fedora and is slated for removal in RHEL 9, as this bug [1] points out. It is also receives very little attention in nova as some deployments tooling (such as Red Hat OSP) has not supported it for some time. There's a non-zero chance support for this console type will be dropped entirely in some future release. Stephen [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1946938
