idea/rfc: device screen in cockpit
by Martin Polednik 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Hello, I have an idea for cockpit, but before thinking it further, I'm interested in hearing your opinions. I am oVirt developer mostly dealing with system stuff and this is something that could be useful in virtualization while also providing utility for administrators using cockpit. The idea is about new tab/plugin (not sure of the terminology) called 'devices', that would allow access to (hardware) devices as exposed by sysfs. The interface could be similar to 'Services' tab/plugin, showing a list of device names created from their physical location, similarly to libvirt's nodedev-list. After clicking on the name, new screen would be presented, showing additional information such as * physical address, * driver in use, * special capabilities (SR-IOV numvfs and totalvfs, NPIV max_vports, vports), * iommu group (possibly clickable to reveal all devices in given group), * vendor, vendor id, product, product id. Additionally, it makes sense to allow some basic operations: * unbinding from host driver, binding it to specific one (useful for local vfio-pci testing), * reattaching it back (one use case is that oVirt does not reattach devices automatically due to possible issues, needs user intervention), * setting numvfs, vports, * ... ? Do you find ideas above reasonable for cockpit? It is mostly in idea phase, and builds on development and requirements of oVirt. I personally believe that this could be useful for broader audience. Thanks, mpolednik

Cockpit 121
by Stef Walter 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-121.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 121. Network Configuration Rollback ------------------------------ NetworkManager now has support in its API for detecting whether a network configuration change broke connectivity to the system. Marius did work so that Cockpit can detect this and have NetworkManager rollback the changes that would have caused a remote admin to be disconnected from the system. This is similar to how a Linux desktop asks you to click in a dialog if you accept the new display configuration. Except in the networking case we can test the connectivity automatically. Demo: https://youtu.be/fNIaDl5UR4Q Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5069 Debugging info for Javascript and CSS ------------------------------------- Cockpit now ships proper Javascript and CSS debugging "map" files in its cockpit-debuginfo packages. These make it easier to troubleshoot issues and develop code that runs in Cockpit. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5191 Debian Branding --------------- Cockpit now shows proper branding when running on Debian, and uses the logo installed on the system on its login screen. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/debian-branding.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5240 Fix Kerberos single sign on Debian and Ubuntu --------------------------------------------- Stef fixed Kerberos single sign on Debian and Ubuntu. More changes are coming in the next release including support for use with gssproxy and expanding support for non-Kerberos GSSAPI authentication mechanisms. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5227 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 121 is available in Fedora 25: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-121-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/121 Take care, Stef

Cockpit 120
by Stef Walter 24 Oct '16

24 Oct '16

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-120.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from versions 119 and 120. You’ll notice that we’ve dropped the 0.x from the beginning of the version numbers. This underscores the fact that Cockpit is stable. We’ve been regularly releasing functionally stable releases for most of the last year. Expandable and Filterable Containers and Images ----------------------------------------------- Lars reworked the Containers section of Cockpit. The various images and containers are not expandable inline, and it’s also easy to find a specific image and container by using the filter bar to search for it. Demo: https://youtu.be/-huY6q7kcmU Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4952 VM Configuration and Monitoring ------------------------------- Marek worked on a new interface in Cockpit for configuring and monitoring virtual machines running on the current system. This has the ability to grow into something like the desktop virt-manager tool. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/vms.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4434 Unmanaged Network Devices ------------------------- Cockpit now shows unmanaged network devices in its listing. You can’t configure them or do much with them, but their presence is acknowledged. This should make troubleshooting non-standard configurations easier. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5053 Sidebar for Physical Volumes in a Volume Group ---------------------------------------------- Marius added a sidebar that shows up on LVM groups or volumes, that shows which physical devices are involved. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-pv-sidebar.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4854 SSH connections are run in a separate process --------------------------------------------- When Cockpit connects to an additional server it uses SSH, much like Ansible or other tools. We now launch a separate cockpit-ssh process for each outgoing connection to another server. This lets us isolate the involved code much better, providing security benefits. But it also makes it possible to insert additional logic when embedding Cockpit. It’s possible to put in shims to lookup keys, single-sign-on tokens or keytabs, and so on. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-ssh.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5105 Only connect to remote machines already known to Cockpit -------------------------------------------------------- When connecting to additional machines via SSH, Cockpit now refuses to connect to machines it doesn’t have a host key for. This tightens up security and prevents certain reflection attacks. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5118 Fix bugs preventing Logs page from working in Firefox 49 -------------------------------------------------------- The Logs section of Cockpit failed to function on Firefox 49. This version includes a fix for that. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5189 Add tooltip describing group name in Roles list ----------------------------------------------- When configuring local user accounts, one can assign various roles such as ‘Server Administrator’ to the account. Cockpit now displays the Unix user group that is involved in the role. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-unix-group.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5173 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 120 is available in Fedora 25: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-120-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/120 Take care, Stef

"Rebase and merge" button on github
by Marius Vollmer 03 Oct '16

03 Oct '16

Hi, Github now has a "rebase and merge" button which does exactly what we have been doing manually so far. I think we can just use it. Differences compared to our old way are: - We don't get any opportunity to add the "Reviewed-By" line, but we can use the "Commit" field instead that is shown by "git log --format=full" and also by Github. - Github now says "Merged" instead of "Closed". - It's less work. I have closed two PRs with that button: #5079 and #5084. I'll update our Workflow document, OK?
