Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/526

You Installation instructions should cover the use of SSL to protect the traffic, as your software is a highly important peace of infrastructure, which is worth gathering the data to penetrate a companies infrastructure 😄

Currently it's quite easy to setup SSL for most functions, but the VNC stuff fails for me 😠

  • There are free certificates available via startssl.com
  • you need to configure nginx for ssl (if wanted i can post a sample config)
  • what i do not get working is the use of sockets for the www-data user (but ssh is fine)
  • needed to change the permissions on the .ssh folder for www-data user
  • any hint, what's needed to get the vnc websockets working via nginx as well, port 8000?
    ** works if if i use manage.py and start the server on a different port 😠

is possible to workaround now ... so closing this issue.

in the meantime i suggest to use ssh to tunnel to the webvirtmgr instance and just allow access from localhost interface!
