tools/qemu-vnc: add standalone VNC server over D-Bus

Browse Source 
Add a standalone VNC server binary that connects to a running QEMU
instance via the D-Bus display interface (org.qemu.Display1, via the bus
or directly p2p). This allows serving a VNC display without compiling
VNC support directly into the QEMU system emulator, and enables running
the VNC server as a separate process with independent lifecycle and
privilege domain.

Built only when both VNC and D-Bus display support are enabled.
If we wanted to have qemu -vnc disabled, and qemu-vnc built, we would
need to split CONFIG_VNC. This is left as a future exercise.

Current omissions include some QEMU VNC runtime features (better handled via
restart), legacy options, and Windows support.

.. _qemu-vnc:
==========================
QEMU standalone VNC server
==========================
Synopsis
--------
**qemu-vnc** [*OPTION*]...
Description
-----------
``qemu-vnc`` is a standalone VNC server that connects to a running QEMU instance
via the D-Bus display interface (:ref:`dbus-display`). It serves the guest
display, input, audio, clipboard, and serial console chardevs over the VNC
protocol, allowing VNC clients to interact with the virtual machine without QEMU
itself binding a VNC socket.
Options
-------
.. program:: qemu-vnc
.. option:: -h, --help
Display help and exit.
.. option:: -V, --version
Print version information and exit.
.. option:: -a ADDRESS, --dbus-address=ADDRESS
D-Bus address to connect to. When not specified, ``qemu-vnc`` connects to the
session bus.
.. option:: -p FD, --dbus-p2p-fd=FD
File descriptor of an inherited Unix socket for a peer-to-peer D-Bus
connection to QEMU. This is mutually exclusive with ``--dbus-address`` and
``--bus-name``.
.. option:: -n NAME, --bus-name=NAME
D-Bus bus name of the QEMU instance to connect to. The default is
``org.qemu``. When a custom ``--dbus-address`` is given without a bus name,
peer-to-peer D-Bus is used.
.. option:: -W, --wait
Wait for the D-Bus bus name to appear. Only for bus connections.
.. option:: --password
Require VNC password authentication from connecting clients. The password is
set at runtime via the D-Bus ``SetPassword`` method (see
:doc:`/interop/dbus-vnc`). Clients will not be able to connect until a
password has been set.
This option is ignored when a systemd credential password is present, since
password authentication is already enabled via ``password-secret`` in that
case.
.. option:: -l ADDR, --vnc-addr=ADDR
VNC listen address in the same format as the QEMU ``-vnc`` option (default
``localhost:0``, i.e. TCP port 5900).
.. option:: -w ADDR, --websocket=ADDR
Enable WebSocket transport on the given address. *ADDR* can be a port number
or an *address:port* pair.
.. option:: -O OBJDEF, --object=OBJDEF
Create a QEMU user-creatable object. *OBJDEF* uses the same key=value syntax
as the QEMU ``-object`` option. This option may be given multiple times. It is
needed, for example, to create authorization objects referenced by
``--tls-authz``.
.. option:: -t DIR, --tls-creds=DIR
Directory containing TLS x509 credentials (``ca-cert.pem``,
``server-cert.pem``, ``server-key.pem``). When specified, the VNC server
requires TLS from connecting clients.
.. option:: --tls-authz=ID
ID of a ``QAuthZ`` object previously created with ``--object`` for TLS client
certificate authorization. When specified, the TLS credentials are created
with ``verify-peer=yes`` so connecting clients must present a valid
certificate. After the TLS handshake, the client certificate Distinguished
Name is checked against the authorization object. This option requires
``--tls-creds``.
.. option:: --sasl
Require that the client use SASL to authenticate with the VNC server. The
exact choice of authentication method used is controlled from the system /
user's SASL configuration file for the 'qemu' service. This is typically found
in ``/etc/sasl2/qemu.conf``. If running QEMU as an unprivileged user, an
environment variable ``SASL_CONF_PATH`` can be used to make it search
alternate locations for the service config. While some SASL auth methods can
also provide data encryption (eg GSSAPI), it is recommended that SASL always
be combined with the 'tls' and 'x509' settings to enable use of SSL and server
certificates. This ensures a data encryption preventing compromise of
authentication credentials. See the :ref:`VNC security` section in the System
Emulation Users Guide for details on using SASL authentication.
.. option:: --sasl-authz=ID
ID of a ``QAuthZ`` object previously created with ``--object`` for SASL
username authorization. After successful SASL authentication, the
authenticated username is checked against the authorization object. If the
check fails, the client is disconnected. This option requires ``--sasl``.
.. option:: -s POLICY, --share=POLICY
Set display sharing policy. *POLICY* is one of ``allow-exclusive``,
``force-shared``, or ``ignore``.
``allow-exclusive`` allows clients to ask for exclusive access. As suggested
by the RFB spec this is implemented by dropping other connections. Connecting
multiple clients in parallel requires all clients asking for a shared session
(vncviewer: -shared switch). This is the default.
``force-shared`` disables exclusive client access. Useful for shared desktop
sessions, where you don't want someone forgetting to specify -shared
disconnect everybody else.
``ignore`` completely ignores the shared flag and allows everybody to connect
unconditionally. Doesn't conform to the RFB spec but is traditional QEMU
behavior.
.. option:: -C NAME, --vt-chardev=NAME
Chardev type name to expose as a VNC text console. This option may be given
multiple times to expose several chardevs. When not specified, the defaults
``org.qemu.console.serial.0`` and ``org.qemu.monitor.hmp.0`` are used.
.. option:: -N, --no-vt
Do not expose any chardevs as text consoles. This overrides the default
chardev list and any ``--vt-chardev`` options.
.. option:: -k LAYOUT, --keyboard-layout=LAYOUT
Keyboard layout (e.g. ``en-us``). Passed through to the VNC server for
key-code translation.
.. option:: --lossy
Enable lossy compression methods (gradient, JPEG, ...). If this option is set,
VNC client may receive lossy framebuffer updates depending on its encoding
settings. Enabling this option can save a lot of bandwidth at the expense of
quality.
.. option:: --non-adaptive
Disable adaptive encodings. Adaptive encodings are enabled by default. An
adaptive encoding will try to detect frequently updated screen regions, and
send updates in these regions using a lossy encoding (like JPEG). This can be
really helpful to save bandwidth when playing videos. Disabling adaptive
encodings restores the original static behavior of encodings like Tight.
.. option:: -T, --trace [[enable=]PATTERN][,events=FILE][,file=FILE]
.. include:: ../qemu-option-trace.rst.inc
Examples
--------
Start QEMU with the D-Bus display backend::
qemu-system-x86_64 -display dbus ...
Then attach ``qemu-vnc``::
qemu-vnc
A VNC client can now connect to ``localhost:5900``.
To listen on a different port with TLS::
qemu-vnc --vnc-addr localhost:1 --tls-creds /etc/pki/qemu-vnc
To require TLS with client certificate authorization::
qemu-vnc --object authz-list-file,id=auth0,filename=/etc/qemu/vnc.acl,refresh=on \
--tls-creds /etc/pki/qemu-vnc --tls-authz auth0
To enable SASL authentication with TLS::
qemu-vnc --tls-creds /etc/pki/qemu-vnc --sasl
VNC password authentication
----------------------------
There are two ways to enable VNC password authentication:
1. ``--password`` flag -- start ``qemu-vnc`` with ``--password`` and
then set the password at runtime using the D-Bus ``SetPassword``
method. Clients will be rejected until a password is set.
2. systemd credentials -- if the ``CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY``
environment variable is set (see :manpage:`systemd.exec(5)`) and
contains a file named ``vnc-password``, the VNC server will use
that file's contents as the password automatically. The
``--password`` flag is not needed in this case.
D-Bus interface
---------------
``qemu-vnc`` exposes a D-Bus interface for management and monitoring of
VNC connections. See :doc:`/interop/dbus-vnc` for the full interface
reference.
