Testing Serial Console
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
The main aim of this feature is exposing an interactive web-based
|
|
serial consoles through a web-socket proxy.
|
|
This page describes how to test it from a devstack environment.
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
Setting up a devstack environment
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
For instructions on how to setup devstack with serial console support enabled
|
|
see `this guide
|
|
<https://docs.openstack.org/devstack/latest/guides/nova.html#nova-serialproxy>`_.
|

|
Testing the API
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Starting a new instance.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# cd devstack && . openrc
|
|
# nova boot --flavor 1 --image cirros-0.3.2-x86_64-uec cirros1
|
|
|
|
Nova provides a command `nova get-serial-console` which will returns a
|
|
URL with a valid token to connect to the serial console of VMs.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# nova get-serial-console cirros1
|
|
+--------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+
|
|
| Type | Url |
|
|

|
|
| serial | ws://127.0.0.1:6083/?token=5f7854b7-bf3a-41eb-857a-43fc33f0b1ec |

Currently nova does not provide any client able to connect from an
|
|
interactive console through a web-socket.
|
|
A simple client for *test purpose* can be written with few lines of Python.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
# sudo easy_install ws4py || sudo pip install ws4py
|
|
# cat >> client.py <<EOF
|
|
import sys
|
|
from ws4py.client.threadedclient import WebSocketClient
|
|
class LazyClient(WebSocketClient):
|
|
def run(self):
|
|
try:
|
|
while not self.terminated:
|
|
try:
|
|
b = self.sock.recv(4096)
|
|
sys.stdout.write(b)
|
|
sys.stdout.flush()
|
|
except: # socket error expected
|
|
pass
|
|
finally:
|
|
self.terminate()
|
|
if __name__ == '__main__':
|
|
if len(sys.argv) != 2 or not sys.argv[1].startswith("ws"):
|
|
print "Usage %s: Please use websocket url"
|
|
print "Example: ws://127.0.0.1:6083/?token=xxx"
|
|
exit(1)
|
|
try:
|
|
ws = LazyClient(sys.argv[1], protocols=['binary'])
|
|
ws.connect()
|
|
while True:
|
|
# keyboard event...
|
|
c = sys.stdin.read(1)
|
|
if c:
|
|
ws.send(c)
|
|
ws.run_forever()
|
|
except KeyboardInterrupt:
|
|
ws.close()
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
# python client.py ws://127.0.0.1:6083/?token=5f7854b7-bf3a-41eb-857a-43fc33f0b1ec
