Public bug reported:
Hello. I've been racking my brain trying to work out if this is
possible.
I would like to be able to forward to a guest TCP port, via a host UNIX
socket to avoid opening a TCP port on the host. For example:
qemu-system-i386 [...] -nic user,hostfwd=unix:/path/to/socket-:22
and then connect to the VM like:
ssh -o "ProxyCommand socat - unix-connect:/path/to/socket" user@0.0.0.0
QEMU, as versatile as it is, doesn't appreciate my intuited syntax
"hostfwd=unix:...". It is also unhappy with:
qemu-system-i386 [...] \
-chardev socket,id=foo,path=/path/to/socket,server,nowait \
-nic user,hostfwd=chardev:foo-:22
And:
qemu-system-i386 [...] \
-nic user \
-chardev socket,id=foo,path=/path/to/socket,server,nowait \
-chardev socket,id=foo,host=10.0.2.15,port=22
I already found out how to connect in the opposite direction, **from**
guest TCP to host UNIX, via guestfwd -> cmd -> socat. So I feel like
there ought to be a way.
If this is not yet a feature I would like to request it, and if it is,
please tell me how!
