Upload files to machines
by S. Sara 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

Hi everybody, I am working on a cockpit plugin. Among some features, I would like to be able to upload some heavy binary files (# 500MB) to remote machines through cockpit web page. Do you have some advices on how to do this ? I am not sure the cockpit.file API is suitable for this. Good job with this software. Best Regards S.

Automatically cleaning up merged branches
by Martin Pitt 24 Oct '19

24 Oct '19

Hello all, After a PR of mine lands, I always manually press the "Delete branch" button, so that "git branch -al" does not pile up cruft and remains an useful tool. I guess/hope that most other people do the same? GitHub recently added a simple config option to automate that: https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/managing-the-a… Does anyone object if I enable that for our cockpit projects? Thanks, Martin

React-Cockpit tools question - cockpit.spawn().stream() execution
by Simon Pichugin 21 Oct '19

21 Oct '19

Hi guys, I have a React-Cockpit question. I kind of stuck with no good idea of how to implement one thing... The scenario I want to execute: 1. User clicks a button 'Run Full Report'; 2. It creates a promise and checks through '.stream()' if the execution requires user input; 3. If it requires - Show the input modal and wait for the user press Confirm Button; 4. When the user enters the data (which I store in state) and confirms - continue the execution in the existing '.stream()'; 5. Repeat as many times as it requires (and it is dynamic because it depends on the actual network state) I have a few options but I am not sure which exactly React-Cockpit tools I can use for that... - Can I wait inside of cockpit.stream('here') for some state change? I can wait for the React componentDidUpdate() but I am not sure how I can connect this with exacting cockpit.stream('here') code. - I have an ugly option with spawning a lot of promises to fetch user data and then using it in the final report execution... But it looks so ugly that I'd rather search for a 'smart' way... If you can somehow direct me to a solution, it'll be most appreciated. I've tried to search for the solution from different angles but apparently I miss some React-Cockpit capabilities. Kind Regards, Simon

Cockpit issue autumn cleaning
by Martin Pitt 18 Oct '19

18 Oct '19

Hello all, as discussed in this week's meeting, it's time again [1] to garden our issue tracker and clean up obsolete issues. We want to find the important and easy issues that just fell through the cracks, clean up the noise that makes the issue tracker less useful, and generally get an up to date impression about what users have trouble with. I [2] tagged all issues which haven't been updated in the last 90 days with the "review-2019-10" label: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/labels/review-2019-10 Let's please collectively go through them, and re-triage them: * For bug reports, make sure that they still apply to current master. If they do, just drop the review label. If they are fixed, close the issue. If they need more information how to reproduce, please ask the reporter for clearer instructions, or whatever else is necessary, label the issue with "question" and also drop the review label. * For enhancement reports, also check if they still make sense for Cockpit. Some of them have been open for years, and we realistically won't get to them. Some of them may also be too big to be tracked in an issue, and they need an entire epic about them (and then they need to be reviewed whether we want to do it at all -- so most likely "no" for most of them). * At least in the last review round we also had a lot of feature requests for entirely new pages. Almost all of them should become their own project. Point to starter-kit and our documentation, and that we are glad to help anyone with setting up a project, CI, etc., but we can't do all that work ourselves -- we don't want to become experts and take responsibility for everything! If everyone can triage 5-10 every day, we should be through in about two weeks. Of course in the beginning we'll look at the "easy" ones and be faster, and the pace will go down towards the end -- but then we'll already have a much better overview. Thanks! Martin [1] Similar to what we did in January: https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/list/cockpit-devel@lists.fedorahost… [2] Well, our bots' issues-review script, of course

VM states
by Дмитрий Астанков 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

Greetings! I am currently translating Cockpit UI into Russian and the last thing that's left is virtual machine states (strings can be found in cockpit/pkg/machines/helpers.js): vmStates: { running: _("running"), idle: _("idle"), paused: _("paused"), shutdown: _("shutdown"), 'shut off': _("shut off"), crashed: _("crashed"), dying: _("dying"), pmsuspended: _("suspended (PM)") Can you please explain these to me or provide a link where I can read about them? I can't find any reliable resources which would contain *all* of the above so I can't be sure I get them right. -- Best wishes, Dmitry Astankov (BaseALT Translation Team)

Re: Question

Hello Jonathan, Jonathan Aquilina [2019-10-06 5:39 +0000]: > I have a question. I understand that cockpit is still in its infancy Software is never "done", but I daresay Cockpit is a rather mature project by now. It has shipped in all major distros (https://cockpit-project.org/running.html) for quite a while :-) > but are there plans to add more apps that can be managed through cockpit? Indeed the "cockpit ecosystem" in the sense of "other people writing extensions" can be called infancy stage. There's UIs for composer, podman, session-recording, Leapp, RHEL's subscription-manager, and OSTree, and some PoCs for installing Fleet Commander and FreeIPA server through Cockpit's Applications page (i. e. they are/were in Fedora for a while, but not e. g. in RHEL or other distros). The cockpit team itself doesn't currently have plans to write more, but that's also not our primary goal. We don't want to become experts in everything, but want to provide the tools and help for *other* teams to provide cockpit UIs for their technology. For that we offer the Starter Kit (https://github.com/cockpit-project/starter-kit) documentation like https://cockpit-project.org/external/wiki/Contributing.html and the blog posts linked from there, and are happy to get in personal touch to help teams with coding struggles, CI setup, etc. > Also what is the best way to start contributing to the project? There's no general answer to that, as it really depends on who wants to get involved and why. Usually in FOSS, someone has an "itch", a bug they want to fix, or a feature they want, or some Cockpit UI they want/need in their environment. For these cases, reporting a GitHub issue (bug/feature in the cockpit project itself), or tinkering with the starter-kit and forking it to your own UI (see above) is a great way to start. Others want to learn JavaScript/HTML or just programming in general. If you don't have a specific itch to scratch, we have plenty of things to do that are suitable for beginners, i. e. which don't require a comprehensive and deep understanding of the whole cockpit project: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+la… In either case, you are always welcome to discuss particular ideas or questions on IRC in #cockpit, or here on the mailing list, or in GitHub. Thanks, Martin

Good Morning, I have a question. I understand that cockpit is still in its infancy, but are there plans to add more apps that can be managed through cockpit? Also what is the best way to start contributing to the project? Regards, Jonathan
