[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1020484] [NEW] RFE: Support spice via unix domain socket

[Till Maas]

Public bug reported:

According to the man page, spice can be only used via TCP/IP in opposite
to VNC, which can also be configured to listen on a unix domain socket.
To make it easy to use spice without exposing the interface, please
support unix domain sockets as well. I can try  to provide a patch, if
you can point me to the source code where TCP/IP socket is opened.

There is already support for that in spice-server afaik, though I don't
remember the api or what commit, or if it's in a released version (well,
it's surely in 0.11.0, but that's unstable). Sorry about the lack of
details, I suggest you search spice-devel mailing list archive though. I
think libvirt can already use it, but perhaps you want a commandline
option, that may be missing.

you could pass sockets via QMP a while ago, but listening to unix socket
has been added there:

    spice: add unix address support
    
    Teach qemu to set up a Spice server with a UNIX socket using the
    following arguments -spice unix,addr=path.
