Server "Apps" and Cockpit
by Marius Vollmer 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

Hi, I have (barely) started with adding the concept of "Applications" to Cockpit: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/wiki/Server-Applications I would like to keep you all posted about this, and hopefully get feedback. The first biggish idea is to re-use the AppStream effort also for the Server. This would mean somehow bringing containers into the AppStream as well, I guess. Any immediate thoughts? Crazy stuff? The first concrete "app" is going to be FreeIPA. RPMs or containers?

Plans for sun-setting rolekit
by Stephen Gallagher 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

As most people on this list are doubtlessly aware, the rolekit project has been in maintenance mode for some time now while other, better solutions are worked on. It's definitely becoming more hassle than it is worth to continue maintaining it in Fedora, so I'd like to start discussing a timeframe by which we can remove it entirely. It is important to note that this has direct impact on Fedora milestone acceptance testing. Alpha, Beta and Final release criteria all include requirements that we be able to install FreeIPA and PostgreSQL through rolekit. These requirements *should not* go away. There is still considerable value in ensuring that we deliver something that can provide these two critical services. Work is ongoing to implement new, Ansible-based approaches for deploying our Server Roles, but it is not expected to be ready in time for Fedora 26 Beta. In Fedora 27, we hopefully will have both Ansible and Cockpit support for deploying an NFS server and a FreeIPA server, but this is a ways away. I see two likely approaches for killing off rolekit: 1) I orphan and retire rolekit for F26 and Rawhide. I then rewrite the QA testing pages for how to manually test FreeIPA and PostgreSQL. 2) I orphan and retire rolekit only for Rawhide and hold off on rewriting the QA testing pages until we have made additional progress on the Ansible/Cockpit solutions. Adam, I'm aware that this is going to cause issues with your automated testing, so I won't kill it off until we discuss how to update those tests. A pointer to whatever repository in which that resides would be helpful. I'll see if I can send a pull-request so that doesn't fall on you.

First Draft: Ansible API for NFS shares
by Stephen Gallagher 29 Mar '17

29 Mar '17

After today's Server SIG meeting, I put together a straw-man[1] for what an Ansible API for configuring NFS shares might look like. (Apologies for not including it inline, but the Markdown formatting is really ugly, so please just look at it on the web). Feedback on this is highly desirable, but please keep server(a)lists.fp.o in the CC when you do so. [1] https://github.com/libre-server/proposals/blob/master/NFS/NFS_ansible.md

Meeting today and next week
by Stephen Gallagher 21 Mar '17

21 Mar '17

Folks, I may or may not make it to the meeting today. I'm sitting in the middle of a blizzard and I've already lost power once briefly. I'd like for someone else to start and run the meeting even if we don't have quorum so that Jon Stanley and Dominik Perpeet can give a readout on the Cockpit meeting we had yesterday and describe next steps. Also, I won't be available for next week's meeting (family conflict), so if someone wants to collect the agenda and run the meeting, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I suppose we'll skip it.

Cockpit 134
by 'Dominik Perpeet' 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-134.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 134. Login page is now translatable ------------------------------ The majority of Cockpit has long been translatable. Since the login page is a bit of a special case, it required some special attention to make that also play well with the language display settings. Take a look at the video below for a demo. Check out the Zanata link below, it's very easy to contribute translations to Cockpit. At this time our top 3 translations (>90%) are Polish (pl), Ukranian (uk) and Chinese (zh-CN). Every bit of help here is greatly appreciated and a big thank you to our contributors! Demo: https://youtu.be/_4jQ6NYSL-c Translations: https://fedora.zanata.org/project/view/cockpit?dswid=-8859 Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6013 Show message of the day on the System page ------------------------------------------ Cockpit now supports one more feature it was previously missing compared to the command line login: the |System| page now shows the current message of the day (|/etc/motd|). When dismissed by clicking on the |X| close button, the message is hidden until it changes. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-motd.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5988 Expose fewer system service actions ----------------------------------- Cockpit previously exposed systemd unit actions such as |Reload or Try Restart| which are primarily intended for scripts. The dropdown list now only shows actions which are useful for interactive human usage: |Start|, |Stop|, |Restart| and |Reload|. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-service-actions.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6063 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 134 is available for Fedora 25, but due to the Fedora 26 branch this won't become "stable": https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-134-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/134 Thanks, Dominik
