Cockpit UX enhancements for Grafton.
by Devyani Kota
Hello all,
This is Devyani Kota, part of the RHGS team at RedHat, currently
contributing
to the Gluster storage plugin for cockpit-ovirt.
We have created a few mockups for the same, that are attached along with the
mail. We plan to add the 'Gluster' info under the Storage Tab listed on the
overview page.
Under this "Gluster" Tab, we will be listing:
1. The information of the hosts in the cluster, labelling the host machine
which is the hosted-engine.
2. The volumes on every host, and their respective info like, the device
that
they are mounted on, the size of the disk that they occupy, etc.
The mockups listed give a clear picture of the concept, and a simple
overview
on what we are trying to achieve.
Any reviews/suggestions on the same will be appreciated :)
Looking forward to the feedback.
Thanks and regards,
Devyani Kota.

dev setup for image registry with minishift
by Tom McKay
Wondering how others do dev work on the image registry portion of cockpit.
Here's what I'm trying...
I have minishift running in a VM w/ the registry bits turned on and
accessible. Separate VM has my cockpit dev env set up but the "Image
Registry" tab says simply "Couldn't connect to server". Debugging I see
it's trying to use localhost but that there are a couple env vars that I
could potentially set. My attempts have not worked, though. It is also
calling kubectl I think so should I manually config that on the cockpit VM?
Suggestions welcome!

Hackfest on Virtual Machines in Karlsruhe
by Stef Walter
Many of the Cockpit folks are having a Hackfest in Karlsruhe, Germany
from the 26th of June until the 30th. You might have already heard about
this from other postings on this mailing list.
This is a targeted hackfest: VM and libvirt support in Cockpit is the
focus. If you do want to join in to work on the VM functionality, ping
us on IRC at #cockpit on Freenode or reply to this email.
It's likely that we'll be having another Hackfest in Autumn that will be
more broad, both in what we work on, and the people who decide to come.
Cheers,
Stef

Cockpit modules repository
by Tiago Machado
Hi all,
we are currently using Cockpit (a lot) and we love it ! But there's one thing we miss about cockpit: modules from the community.
I think it would be great if we had a standard procedure to publish modules for cockpit on GitHub.
If everybody use, for example, a predefined name, like cockpit-module-contrib-MODULE_NAME it would be easier to create a repository of cockpit modules and then we could even add an interface for managing the installed modules, where you can download/remove modules.
I'm thinking about something similar to what we have on Node-RED ( https://github.com/node-red/node-red). There we have a standard name for external modules (node-red-contrib-NODE_NAME) and they could create a repo of node (https://flows.nodered.org/ ) where we already have more than 1500 modules (and counting). There's even an UI inside Node-RED where it's possible to manage and download new modules.

Accessing host's files
by Tiago Machado
Hi folks,
I'm currently developing a package to set the display resolution/orientation/rate using Xrandr command suit. It's already working good but now I need to store my configs on X11 config file (in order to persist the config as mentioned here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xrandr#Configuration ).
My question is: what is the best way to manage files using cockpit ? I'm currently throwing bash commands for that and in my opinion it's not looking good.
Thanks !
