SYNOPSIS
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
``virtproxyd`` [*OPTION*]...
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
The ``virtproxyd`` program is a server side daemon component of the libvirt
|
||||
virtualization management system.
|
||||
|
||||
It is one of a collection of modular daemons that replace functionality
|
||||
previously provided by the monolithic ``libvirtd`` daemon.
|
||||
|
||||
This daemon runs on virtualization hosts and
|
||||
|
||||
* Listens on a UNIX socket to provide backwards compatibility for clients
|
||||
that previously connected to the ``libvirtd`` socket.
|
||||
|
||||
* Optionally listens on TCP ports for connections from off-node clients
|
||||
|
||||
Upon receiving RPC messages from a client ``virtproxyd`` will transparently
|
||||
forward them on to the appropriate modular daemon, and similarly relay back
|
||||
any asynchronous events.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the ``virtproxyd`` daemon listens for requests on a local Unix
|
||||
domain socket with the same path previously used by ``libvirtd``. The
|
||||
configuration file can be used to instruct it to also listen on TCP socket(s).
|
||||
Systemd socket activation is also supported to allow it to receive pre-opened
|
||||
listener sockets on startup.
|
||||
|
||||
Since ``virtproxyd`` merely forwards RPC mesages, it has no important state,
|
||||
and can be restarted at any time. Clients should expect to reconnect after
|
||||
the restart.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SYSTEM SOCKET ACTIVATION
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
The ``virtproxyd`` daemon is capable of starting in two modes.
|
||||
|
||||
In the traditional mode, it will create and listen on UNIX sockets itself.
|
||||
It will also listen on TCP/IP socket(s), according to the ``listen_tcp``
|
||||
and ``listen_tls`` options in ``/etc/libvirt/virtproxyd.conf``
|
||||
|
||||
In socket activation mode, it will rely on systemd to create and listen
|
||||
on the UNIX, and optionally TCP/IP, sockets and pass them as pre-opened
|
||||
file descriptors. In this mode most of the socket related config options in
|
||||
``/etc/libvirt/virtproxyd.conf`` will no longer have any effect. To enable
|
||||
TCP or TLS sockets use either
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ systemctl start virtproxyd-tls.socket
|
||||
|
||||
Or
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ systemctl start virtproxyd-tcp.socket
|
||||
|
||||
Socket activation mode is generally the default when running on a host
|
||||
OS that uses systemd. To revert to the traditional mode, all the socket
|
||||
unit files must be masked:
|
||||
|
||||
::
|
||||
|
||||
$ systemctl mask virtproxyd.socket virtproxyd-ro.socket \
|
||||
virtproxyd-admin.socket virtproxyd-tls.socket virtproxyd-tcp.socket
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
``-h``, ``--help``
|
||||
|
||||
Display command line help usage then exit.
|
||||
|
||||
``-d``, ``--daemon``
|
||||
|
||||
Run as a daemon & write PID file.
|
||||
|
||||
``-f``, ``--config *FILE*``
|
||||
|
||||
Use this configuration file, overriding the default value.
|
||||
|
||||
``-p``, ``--pid-file *FILE*``
|
||||
|
||||
Use this name for the PID file, overriding the default value.
|
||||
|
||||
``-t``, ``--timeout *SECONDS*``
|
||||
|
||||
Exit after timeout period (in seconds), provided there are neither any client
|
||||
connections nor any running domains.
|
||||
|
||||
``-v``, ``--verbose``
|
||||
|
||||
Enable output of verbose messages.
|
||||
|
||||
``--version``
|
||||
|
||||
Display version information then exit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
SIGNALS
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
On receipt of ``SIGHUP`` ``virtproxyd`` will reload its configuration.
