The +configuration file can be used to instruct it to also listen on TCP socket(s). +Systemd socket activation is also supported to allow it to receive pre-opened +listener sockets on startup. + +Since ``virtproxyd`` merely forwards RPC mesages, it has no important state, +and can be restarted at any time. Clients should expect to reconnect after +the restart. + + +SYSTEM SOCKET ACTIVATION +======================== + +The ``virtproxyd`` daemon is capable of starting in two modes. + +In the traditional mode, it will create and listen on UNIX sockets itself. +It will also listen on TCP/IP socket(s), according to the ``listen_tcp`` +and ``listen_tls`` options in ``/etc/libvirt/virtproxyd.conf`` + +In socket activation mode, it will rely on systemd to create and listen +on the UNIX, and optionally TCP/IP, sockets and pass them as pre-opened +file descriptors. In this mode most of the socket related config options in +``/etc/libvirt/virtproxyd.conf`` will no longer have any effect. To enable +TCP or TLS sockets use either + +:: + + $ systemctl start virtproxyd-tls.socket + +Or + +:: + + $ systemctl start virtproxyd-tcp.socket + +Socket activation mode is generally the default when running on a host +OS that uses systemd. To revert to the traditional mode, all the socket +unit files must be masked: + +:: + + $ systemctl mask virtproxyd.socket virtproxyd-ro.socket \ + virtproxyd-admin.socket virtproxyd-tls.socket virtproxyd-tcp.socket + + +OPTIONS +======= + +``-h``, ``--help`` + +Display command line help usage then exit. + +``-d``, ``--daemon`` + +Run as a daemon & write PID file. + +``-f``, ``--config *FILE*`` + +Use this configuration file, overriding the default value. + +``-p``, ``--pid-file *FILE*`` + +Use this name for the PID file, overriding the default value. + +``-t``, ``--timeout *SECONDS*`` + +Exit after timeout period (in seconds), provided there are neither any client +connections nor any running domains. + +``-v``, ``--verbose`` + +Enable output of verbose messages. + +``--version`` + +Display version information then exit. + + +SIGNALS +======= + +On receipt of ``SIGHUP`` ``virtproxyd`` will reload its configuration. + + +FILES +===== + +When run as *root* +------------------ + +* ``@SYSCONFDIR(a)/libvirt/virtproxyd.conf`` + +The default configuration file used by ``virtproxyd``, unless overridden on the +command line using the ``-f`` | ``--config`` option. + +* ``@RUNSTATEDIR@/libvirt/libvirt-sock`` +* ``@RUNSTATEDIR@/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro`` + +The sockets ``virtproxyd`` will use. + +* ``@SYSCONFDIR(a)/pki/CA/cacert.pem`` + +The TLS **Certificate Authority** certificate ``virtproxyd`` will use. + +* ``@SYSCONFDIR(a)/pki/libvirt/servercert.pem`` + +The TLS **Server** certificate ``virtproxyd`` will use. + +* ``@SYSCONFDIR(a)/pki/libvirt/private/serverkey.pem`` + +The TLS **Server** private key ``virtproxyd`` will use. + +* ``@RUNSTATEDIR(a)/virtproxyd.pid`` + +The PID file to use, unless overridden by the ``-p`` | ``--pid-file`` option. + + +When run as *non-root* +---------------------- + +* ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/libvirt/virtproxyd.conf`` + +The default configuration file used by ``virtproxyd``, unless overridden on the +command line using the ``-f``|``--config`` option. + +* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/libvirt-sock`` + +The socket ``virtproxyd`` will use. + +* ``$HOME/.pki/libvirt/cacert.pem`` + +The TLS **Certificate Authority** certificate ``virtproxyd`` will use. + +* ``$HOME/.pki/libvirt/servercert.pem`` + +The TLS **Server** certificate ``virtproxyd`` will use. + +* ``$HOME/.pki/libvirt/serverkey.pem`` + +The TLS **Server** private key ``virtproxyd`` will use. + +* ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/libvirt/virtproxyd.pid`` + +The PID file to use, unless overridden by the ``-p``|``--pid-file`` option. + + +If ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` is not set in your environment, ``virtproxyd`` will use +``$HOME/.config`` + +If ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` is not set in your environment, ``virtproxyd`` will use +``$HOME/.cache`` + + +EXAMPLES +======== + +To retrieve the version of ``virtproxyd``: + +:: + + # virtproxyd --version + virtproxyd (libvirt) 6.6.0 + + +To start ``virtproxyd``, instructing it to daemonize and create a PID file: + +:: + + # virtproxyd -d + # ls -la @RUNSTATEDIR(a)/virtproxyd.pid + -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Jul 9 02:40 @RUNSTATEDIR(a)/virtproxyd.pid + + +BUGS +==== + +Please report all bugs you discover.
