Tunnel via SSH?

[johnnybubonic]

Since #140 was implemented and New() deprecated, how is one supposed to do a qemu+ssh connection?

I was under the impression this should work:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/digitalocean/go-libvirt"
	`github.com/digitalocean/go-libvirt/socket`
	`github.com/digitalocean/go-libvirt/socket/dialers`
)

func main() {

	var conn *libvirt.Libvirt
	var dialer socket.Dialer
	var err error

	dialer = dialers.NewRemote("<IP_ADDRESS_HERE>", dialers.UsePort("22"))

	conn = libvirt.NewWithDialer(dialer)
	if err = conn.ConnectToURI("qemu+ssh://user@<IP_ADDRESS_HERE>/system"); err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
}

But it just hangs.

I find it hard to believe SSH tunneling was broken by oversight considering it's treated as a first-class connection URI upstream.

Have a look at #89, you may be running into the same problem.

Assuming that's the issue, I think you could potentially work around it by implementing your own dialer instead of using the pre-fab "remote" one.

I am having a similar issue, the error returned by libvirt server is: "msg":"failed to run the server: procedure interrupted while awaiting response".

I am using ssh as transport connection, with a passwordless ssh key pair.

dialer := dialers.NewRemote(address, dialers.UsePort(port))
conn = libvirt.NewWithDialer(dialer)
uri := fmt.Sprintf("qemu+ssh://%s@%s/system?keyfile=id_rsa&no_tty=1", user, address)
err = conn.ConnectToURI(libvirt.ConnectURI(uri))
