=================
Nova and DevStack
=================
This is a rough guide to various configuration parameters for nova
running with DevStack.
nova-serialproxy
================
In Juno, nova implemented a `spec
<http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/juno/implemented/serial-ports.html>`_
to allow read/write access to the serial console of an instance via
`nova-serialproxy
<https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/cli/nova-serialproxy.html>`_.
The service can be enabled by adding ``n-sproxy`` to
``ENABLED_SERVICES``. Further options can be enabled via
``local.conf``, e.g.
::
[[post-config|$NOVA_CONF]]
[serial_console]
#
# Options defined in nova.cmd.serialproxy
#
# Host on which to listen for incoming requests (string value)
#serialproxy_host=0.0.0.0
# Port on which to listen for incoming requests (integer
# value)
#serialproxy_port=6083
#
# Options defined in nova.console.serial
#
# Enable serial console related features (boolean value)
#enabled=false
# Do not set this manually. Instead enable the service as
# outlined above.
# Range of TCP ports to use for serial ports on compute hosts
# (string value)
#port_range=10000:20000
# Location of serial console proxy. (string value)
#base_url=ws://127.0.0.1:6083/
# IP address on which instance serial console should listen
# (string value)
#listen=127.0.0.1
# The address to which proxy clients (like nova-serialproxy)
# should connect (string value)
#proxyclient_address=127.0.0.1
Enabling the service is enough to be functional for a single machine DevStack.
These config options are defined in `nova.conf.serial_console
<https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/conf/serial_console.py>`_.
