[pve-devel] [PATCH v3 docs] ha-manager: simulator: add note for xauth and ssh config

[Aaron Lauterer]

Installing the ha-simulator on a PVE node directly to start it via ssh
and x11 forwarding will need the 'xauth' package installed on the PVE
node as well and X11Forwarding enabled.

Otherwise one is likely to encounter the following error when starting
the simulator: `Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection
refused`

third times the charm (hopefully) ;)

v3: Rephrased the note to make it clear that xauth is needed and that
X11Forwarding needs to be enabled in the sshd_config file.

Moved the note further up, right after where SSH forwarding
possibilities are discussed.

Dropped the dependency patch as handling this situation technically is
harder than assumed at first. See [0] for more infos.

 On Windows it works with https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/[mobaxterm].
 
+NOTE: If you want to forward the simulator window over SSH, install the `xauth`
+package on the {pve} node and make sure that the 'X11Forwarding' option in the
+`/etc/ssh/sshd_config` file is set to 'yes'.

 After connecting to an existing {pve} with the simulator installed or
 installing it on your local Debian-based system manually, you can try it out as
 follows.
