cockpit plugin doubts

[Alberto Viana]

Hi Guys,

In the old 389-console was possible to manage remote instances
(installations in different machines) and what about in new UI?  Should I
install a cockpit plugin to each 389 machine in my environment?
Any docs about it?

Thanks

Alberto Viana

Yes, you'll need a cockpit plugin per-machine for the instances on that machine.

There are things that cockpit can do that requires local filesystem access, that's why
you can't remotely administer it with this.

If you want remote administration capability, I'd advise you look into dsconf as a
tool which can do remote administration and you could script it to perform tasks
repeatedly.

You can install the cockpit-bridge package on remote servers and then 
register then in your local cockpit instance.  Then you can switch 
between machines from a single interface.  It's not the exact same thing 
as the old console, but the result is the same (from a central location 
you can manage all your systems).
