What is the reason for using a web-based UI instead of continuing to use
GTK?
Hi,
the reasons are mainly these:
- faster development (we don't have to reboot the machine for each
change but just reload a page)
- great CI support from the cockpit team (pixel tests support and we use
their test suite with their infrastructure)
- consistency with the other projects who use Pattern Fly (mainly around
RHEL but not only) as Cockpit, Image Builder and more
- possibility to share modules and code with the Cockpit project
- great support from the Cockpit team
- great support from the Pattern Fly team
In overall these benefits should allow us better cooperation between
teams, better integration and more stable product at the end.
Best Regards,
Jirka
