Host Devices
by Marek Libra 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

Hi, I would like to renew the effort on Host Devices for Cockpit [1]. To move forward, let's implement it step by step while opening brand new PR picking just a subset of the already implemented functionality [1] while adjusted to generally acceptable form. Initial implementation would meet: - PCI support only - initially read-only: just the List of devices by their Class (according to [2]) - example: by Audio device, Ethernet Controller, etc - data source: sysfs - make use of backward-compatible lspci for data preprocessing (especially manipulation with HW database) - monitor for changes by listening kernel uevents Follow-ups will lead to [3] scope: - for pci, active actions are allowed for selected device classes, one PR per each: - (un)bind VFIO driver - configure SR-IOV network cards - vGPU configuration - additional view by Driver - What devices is the driver bound to? - additional view by IOMMU Groups - For server fine-tuning, what devices are within single IOMMU Group? - support for other buses, i.e. USB or SCSI - their views are independent on each other due to fundamental differences Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks, Marek [1] https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5523 [2] http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/ [3] https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/wiki/Feature:-Hardware-Devices -- Marek Libra senior software engineer Red Hat Czech <https://www.redhat.com>

Cockpit 158 released
by Martin Pitt 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-158.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 158. Add check boxes for common NFS mount options -------------------------------------------- Setting up an NFS mount point on the Storage page now offers check boxes for the most common mount options: "Mount at boot" and "Mount read only". Other arbitrary options can still be given in the "Custom" input line, as before. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/images/storage-nfs-option-checkboxes.png Clarify Software Update status if only security updates are available --------------------------------------------------------------------- In that case the status message is now "n security fixes" instead of "n updates, including n security fixes". Create self-signed certificates with SubjectAltName --------------------------------------------------- When connecting to Cockpit through SSL (https://...) without explicitly configuring a certificate, Cockpit generates a self-signed one. This certificate now has a `SubjectAltName:` field that is valid for localhost/127.0.0.1. Some browsers, like Chromium, require this field to accept a certificate for an SSL connection. This allows administrators or users to import Cockpit's certificate into the system oder user certificate database so that web browsers can connect to Cockpit without SSL errors: openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:9090 < /dev/null | \ sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > /tmp/cert.pem certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A -t "TC,C,P" -n cockpit -i /tmp/cert.pem Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 158 is available in Fedora 27: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-158-1.fc27 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/158 Take care, Martin Pitt

Unit filter on log page
by Tiago Machado 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

We are currently developing internally a new functionality for the "logs" plugin. We need a way to filter the log list by unit, something like this: https://netsmarttech.com/web/image/6894 Is it interesting for you that we submit a PR in the oficial cockpit repository for that ?
