KVM VNC Allow Remote Access
By default VNC Console on a KVM virtual Machine only listens to localhost. So you need to do SSH tunnel to access VNC console.
To make VNC available on all interfaces on Host machine, you need to edit file
|
1 |
vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf |
You need to uncomment the line vnc_listen = “0.0.0.0”.

# VNC is configured to listen on 127.0.0.1 by default. # To make it listen on all public interfaces, uncomment # this next option. # # NB, strong recommendation to enable TLS + x509 certificate # verification when allowing public access # vnc_listen = "0.0.0.0" |
Once this is done, you need to shutdown and start the virtual machine. Just reboot won’t work.
