One could argue I guess that we could mention something in this guide saying that noVNC versions < 0.6 are known to be problematic?

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752896 Title: novncproxy in Newton uses outdated novnc 0.5 which breaks Nova noVNC consoles Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): In Progress Status in tripleo: New Bug description: Delorean Newton (CentOS 7) ships with noVNC 0.5.2 in the Overcloud images. Even building an Overcloud image (DIB) produces an image with noVNC 0.5.2. The problem seems to be that CentOS 7 does not ship anything newer than 0.5.2. However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 does indeed ship noVNC 0.6. In any case, Nova noVNC consoles in Newton don't work with noVNC 0.5.2. My workaround was to customize the Overcloud base image and replace the 0.5.2 RPM with a 0.6.2 RPM that I downloaded from some CentOS CI repository. Steps to reproduce ================== Follow instructions from https://docs.openstack.org/tripleo-docs/latest/install/installation/installing.html to install an OpenStack Undercloud using Newton, and either download the Overcloud base images from here https://images.rdoproject.org/newton/delorean/consistent/testing/ or build them yourself directly from the Undercloud. In any case, the Overcloud base image ships with noVNC 0.5.2-1 instead of 0.6.*. Expected result =============== A newer version of noVNC that does not break the Nova noVNC console.
