Manual

To start this program you need to set some environment variables first:

• SECRET_KEY: Secret key that should be used for JWT token decode.
• LOCAL_DEV_MODE: If False, it's assumed that this is run inside Kubernetes. If True secure connections are disabled. Default: False
• HOST: The host this proxy runs on. Default: 0.0.0.0
• PORT: The port this proxy runs on. Default: 5001
• HOST_PATH_PREFIX: Prefix that is removed from the host path.
• KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST: Host where to proxy the websockets. Inside of Kubernetes this has a preset default value.
• KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT: Port where to proxy the websockets. Inside of Kubernetes this has a preset default value.
• LOGLEVEL: Python Loglevel to use. Default: INFO

After that run: PYTHONPATH=src python -m lab_orchestrator_ws_proxy.

The proxy works as follows:

It creates a websocket at the given host and port. Then when you want to access a VM you need to call the websocket with a path that contains the token and the VM-name divided by a slash. Example: localhost:5001/ABCTOKENDEF/ubuntu. The example contains the token ABCTOKENDEF and tries to access the VM with the name ubuntu. The token contains a list of allowed VM-names and if the given VM-name is part of the token you will be able to access the VM.
