Component URL format has changed for embedders
by Stef Walter 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

For anyone who has prototype code for embedding Cockpit components into other web applications ... I wanted to note that the URL format has changed with Cockpit version 0.40 The URLs now look like something like this: /cockpit/(a)localhost/package/file.html The documentation has been updated. For example: http://files.cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/api-terminal-html.html The reason for this is that, before our API and protocol goes stable, we wanted to simplify the way we load and refer to our components. More details here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/1841 Cheers, Stef

PCP an optional dependency for now
by Stef Walter 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

PCP is a capable and expansive framework for system performance and analysis. http://www.pcp.io/ Marius and Andreas have done some really nice work using PCP for metrics and loading of archived metric data. However in order to make use if it, attention to and grooming of PCP is necessary. Details below. A bunch of us discussed this yesterday, and came to the conclusion that having PCP required by default goes against the principles [1] of Cockpit. In particular: * Cockpit should work out of the box. In particular the graphs should work out of the box. * Installing Cockpit should not fundamentally alter the server, via dependencies, additional running services ... and the footprint should be small. Cockpit isn't perfect on the latter point yet. We do drag in runtime dependencies that should be optional (such as accountsservice and realmd), but with each release we're removing those. The end goal is that Cockpit is a UI for the OS, and the software that comes with it. Yes, I do realize this is a fuzzy goal, but never the less, we want to be heading in the right direction. Outstanding PCP issues: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1185740 https://trello.com/c/lpbZHZsG/110-pcp-completely-solid-out-of-the-box None of these issues are unsolvable. In fact during brainstorming and discussion with Frank and the PCP team there have been possible solutions to each of the issues. Once the outstanding issues have been resolved, it would be probably be appropriate for Cockpit to have a default dependency on pcp-libs and the linux PMDA. But it is premature for us to have a PCP dependency out of the box, and doubly so when that dependency is on the entire PCP stack. So we're doing a bit of work to make PCP optional: https://trello.com/c/ub3zQOUE/129-pcp-optional-dependency https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/1856 On Fedora 22, folks who want to use PCP and view archived data in the graphs, or folks who already have PCP on their server, will be able to install the optional cockpit-pcp sub-package.

Video of cockpit talk at Devconf
by Stef Walter 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

I presented a Cockpit talk at Devconf 2015 in Brno. The goal was to get people to understand Cockpit and how it's put together. Here's the video of the talk at Devconf. It just has the screen in it, but that's pretty useful since most of the talk is demos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97l1qf2sZtk Stef

Cockpit Ubuntu PPA
by Jared Sutton 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

All, I've created an initial Debian package configuration for Cockpit and uploaded it to an Launchpad PPA: https://launchpad.net/~jpsutton/+archive/ubuntu/cockpit I'm doing all of my packaging work on Debian Jessie and uploading to Launchpad which builds it for Trusty (latest LTS) and Utopic (latest "stable"). It's currenlty built against a Git clone of the master branch from yesterday, but I'll be switching it to use a release tarball soon. Any suggestions/patches are welcome and I'm open to including the packaging configuration upstream once I have it a little less hackish. Thanks, Jared Sutton
