Hi,
I am working on "Applications" Cockpit: a way to install additional software on your server, such as FreeIPA.
If you are on Fedora 26, you can try this out, and I am very much interested in feedback of any kind.
To get started, clone this repository
https://github.com/mvollmer/cockpit-apps-bin.git
into ~/.local/share/cockpit:
$ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/cockpit $ cd ~/.local/share/cockpit $ git clone https://github.com/mvollmer/cockpit-apps-bin.git
Then re-login to Cockpit. You should now see a new "Applications" entry in the shell navigation menu.
You can use a COPR with some demo packages to get something to play with:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mvo/cockpit-app-freeipa/
# dnf copr enable mvo/cockpit-app-freeipa # dnf install appstream-data-mvo
Two applications should spontanously appear in Cockpit, ready to be installed.
What do you think? Does it work? Is it confusing?
Thanks!
