vv file is wrong. Fails to open remote session to VM.

[vonschutter]

Cockpit version: that witch ships with fedora 33
OS: fedora 33 (cockpit + qemu-kvm) and Ubuntu 20.04 (client)
Page:
remote to VM

when you create a VM in cockpit, the vm is inaccessible using the tool in cockpit. You CANNOT connect to the VM console using virt-viewer and the vv file downloaded:
[virt-viewer]
type=spice
host=127.0.0.1
port=5900
delete-this-file=1
fullscreen=0

[...............................GraphicsConsole]

Should the host not be the ip of the server hosting the vm?

Do you do some kind of loop-back magic that does not work?

I have no idea where to even begin... hard to find documentation that is helpful.

Steps to reproduce
From an Ubuntu client:

1. make VM on the fedora box via cockpit
   

2. click on "launch remote viewer"
   

3. watch it fail
   

The intention is that this should work I presume? Otherwise why would there be a button at all?

Possibly duplicate of #73?

It's a duplicate of #73 as @marusak mentions.

OK, it may well be a dup. Any idea on when this may be resolved then? Can I help somehow?

@vonschutter hey :) It's indeed open issue for a long time.
We should provide the option for the user to change the console address/port from the UI. If you are interested in working on this I can gladly help you!
