Configure VNC console with external IP address

Hi there,

I've installed OpenStack Ocata according to the install guide with three nodes:

controller/compute node
compute node
block storage node

I have a private management network and a public IP address space for the users to access their VMs via SSH.

Now I want to give the users the opportunity to access their VMs remotely using the VNC console. What VNC settings do I have to change to get access from the external network? I did the configuration according to the guide with the management network.

Thanks for your help

Follow these steps to enable VNC on VM i did for CentOS VM

CentOS-7 "Minimal Install" VM (no Desktop System)
yum groupinstall "X Window System"
yum groupinstall "Fonts"
yum install kde-workspace
yum install gdm
unlink /etc/systemd/system/default.target
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
reboot OR (systemctl isolate graphical.target)

now you can create VNC server instance on the VM using "vncserver" command

It will create VNC instance for example VM1-hostname:1 where VM1-hostname is your VM public ip By using this "VM public ip:1" on VNC client you will be able to access VM from remote system

I will try it. Nova already supports VNC. Why don't use it?
