Cockpit 128 and 129
by 'Dominik Perpeet'
http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-129.html
Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 128 and 129
Manage remotes and rebasing in OSTree
-------------------------------------
When working with OSTrees on operating systems like Atomic Host [1] there will often be multiple branches to choose from. For example there may be a beta version of the operating system. Thanks to Peter’s work, Cockpit can now switch between branches and view and activate OSTrees from those branches. Also, Cockpit supports managing multiple remotes and viewing their branches. Remotes are a way of describing where OSTree should pull updates from. Take a look at the video below for a demo.
Demo: https://youtu.be/dF8M3xq9FcI
Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5599
[1] http://www.projectatomic.io/docs/os-updates/
The subpackage cockpit-dashboard has been split out
---------------------------------------------------
The new |cockpit-dashboard| subpackage contains the dashboard itself and the |cockpit-ssh| process. Eventually this paves the way for more flexibility regarding authentication processes, but for now |cockpit-ws| unconditionally depends on |cockpit-dashboard|, and also requires the identical versions. Nothing changes for those who install the |cockpit| package. But this allows more flexibility when using Cockpit for specific use cases.
Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5338
Issues upgrading Cockpit on Debian and Fedora have been fixed
-------------------------------------------------------------
Our packaging changes in recent versions broke upgrading Cockpit on Debian and Fedora. This is fixed now and updates should work properly once again.
On Atomic, sosreport works again
--------------------------------
A bug that prevented the diagnostic tool sosreport from working on Atomic systems was fixed. Generating and accessing these diagnostic reports can be very helpful when diagnosing or reporting an issue on the system.
Optionally disable the dependency on libssh
-------------------------------------------
When configuring Cockpit, the option |disable-ssh| disables building |cockpit-ssh| and removes the dependency on |libssh|. This is useful when building on an operating system where |libssh| is not available.
Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5743

Looks like the websocket is failing. What browser are you using? Have
you tried a multiple browsers? Is there anything in the browser console
(usually f12 opens).

Terminal on Cockpit - Increase size?
by luis@bitamins.net
Is it possible to increase the size of the terminal window tool on cockpit.
It seems that it is limited to a 640x480 iframe. I would like to use the whole frame to run the terminal.
Is this possible? I've looked at the documentation and couldn't find a way to change the size of the terminal display.
Best regards,
Peter

Few requirements for gluster deployment in cockpit-ovirt plugin.
by Ramesh Nachimuthu
Hi,
We are working with oVirt team to integrate Gluster deployment in cockpit-ovirt plugin. We are using an ansible based tool called gdeploy to do the actual deployment. We have few requirements in cockpit to support this flow in UI.
1. Listing all available storage devices in the system.
We would like to show a list of available free storage devices in the system so that user can pick any of them for gluster deployment. I know cockpit already shows this in the storage section. But we need it in the gluster deployment wizard. Is there an API which we can use to show a similar list in our wizard?.
2. Setting up password less SSH to communicate with other nodes.
Ansible needs password less SSH to access other nodes. Is there way to setup this through cockpit?.
3. Task Runner
Is there a way to create long running tasks and track them through cockpit UI?. To me more specific, in our case, whole gluster deployment take long time like more than hour when we have to install more package. So instead of keeping the user waiting and watching the wizard, we would like to close the wizard and create a task and show it some where in the UI(Top right corner?). When user wants to see the status, he can click and open the task and see the status. We can also show a notification when it completes.
