Travis failures and other CI solutions
by Peter 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

We've run into an issue with travis where adding new make files causes the tests to fail with an "write error" when running distclean. For example: https://travis-ci.org/cockpit-project/cockpit/jobs/76408030. We haven't been able to reproduce these failures anywhere else. In addition their new container based infrastructure that they are moving towards doesn't support sudo which we need for our reauthorize tests. So we are looking at replacing travis with a different CI service. I looked at semaphoreci and circleci. I was eventually able to get our test suite to pass on both systems. Both seems to have most of the same github integration / badges but Circleci is based on Ubuntu 12 and we'd really like to be able to use something newer. You can see my cockpit fork on semaphoreci here: https://semaphoreci.com/petervo/cockpit PROS: - It works and uses a newer OS (Ubuntu 14) - Allows you to ssh into instances to run / debug tests. CONS: - There is only one configuration per project that is configured via their website. So you can't change the commands on a per branch / PR basis. Additionally the webui has some bugs and usability issues that end up requiring a few tries before it gets the commands in the right order and in the right threads. - We have to run on their container based beta platform as their normal platform doesn't fully support inotify and causes tests to fail. - Doesn't do IRC notifications out of the box. Though we could probably implement something using webhooks if we wanted to. What does everyone think about switching? Worth doing or should we keep looking at other options?

Continuous Delivery
by Stef Walter 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Peter and I have been working on doing Cockpit releases for a while now. Since we release every week, we'd like to make this more automatic. And since we actually do full integration tests against various (so far Fedora and CentOS) operating systems, we have a pretty good chance of making continuous delivery be a reality. I think we can get to the point where. a) Whenever a tag appears in git * Tarballs are built * Koji builds are done for unreleased Fedoras * Copr builds are done * Cockpit Web Service container builds are done b) Whenever a Koji build is done * It's tested against the full integration test suite * And if it passes all checks, gets turned into an update For now we're working on part (a) ... and just working on the scripts to automate the process. For now this runs on personal machines, and we'll be using the scripts manually for the next few releases. The scripts are here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpituous Hope this makes sense. What about other non-Fedora operating systems? Well, the first step would be to have them running the integration tests, which is no small feat ... but possible if we have an interested contributor. Cheers, Stef

I realize that this is probably a language-barrier issue, but I'm not really sure what you're trying to ask. Are you asking if it is possible to terminate specific processes from Cockpit? The answer is basically "no". You can start, stop, enable or disable system services, but not user processes. To the best of my knowledge, Cockpit does not do any kind of session -tracking at the moment, but I believe systemd can, so this might be an interesting addition to the Cockpit UI. It would probably be a good idea to file an enhancement request for it at https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues

How to use Cockpit debug javascript files
by Stef Walter 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

By default loads compressed minified javascript, CSS and HTML files. These load fast, but are hard to use for debugging or hacking. In case you want to use the debug files then you can do the following. Keep in mind they're *much* slower to load than the optimized files. If you're hacking from the source tree ... ... then debug files will be used. You symlinked the code into ~/.local/share/cockpit and that code contains debug info. eg: http://bit.ly/1htaC7E [link to stef.thewalter.net] If you're building from source ... ... then use the --enable-debug autogen.sh or configure argument to enable installation of debug files at install time. eg: http://bit.ly/1gX9idi [link to github.com] If you're installing from Fedora packages ... ... then install cockpit-debuginfo to use debug files. If you're building packages ... ... and want to build your own debuginfo packages, then you can find the debug sources in /usr/src/debug. Create a sub-package which installs those files into /usr/share/cockpit next to the optimized files. Poke someone on #cockpit if you run into problems. Cheers, Stef

Cockpit-bridge for RHEL/CentOS 6.x Progress update ?
by Donald DAvanzo 01 Aug '15

01 Aug '15

Hello Just wanted to check in and see if there has been any progress on the cockpit-bridge management agent for managing and monitoring RHEL/CentOS 6.6 servers. We still have several hundred VM's that are CentOS 6.6 servers in our cloud that we would want to monitor and manage via Cockpit. Please let me know if there is a time line or if anyone has had success I know last I heard from Stef there was the issue of docker and systemd which is holding up the development of such integration because they are not supported in RHEL/CentOS 6.6. Let me know and thank you! Regards, Donald R.
