Re: How to use VARIANT_ID to change branding folder that is searched?

Hi Daniel,

Cockpit looks in `/etc/os-release`[1] for the `VARIANT` and `VARIANT_ID` keys. You can override the keys there.

How to use VARIANT_ID to change branding folder that is searched?

[Daniel Hilst]

Hi Lars,

Yeah I just figured this out, is it okay to edit this file? A system update wouldn't overwrite it?

Regards

Hi

I'm trying to change the branding folder that is used by cockpit, I read this in at https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/doc/branding.md#how-c...

I tried by placing it at systemd unit file, here is how

# cat /etc/systemd/system/cockpit.service
[Unit]
Description=Cockpit Web Service
Documentation=man:cockpit-ws(8)
Requires=cockpit.socket

[Service]
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/remotectl certificate --ensure --user=root --group=cockpit-ws --selinux-type=etc_t
ExecStart=/usr/libexec/cockpit-ws
PermissionsStartOnly=true
User=cockpit-ws
Group=cockpit-ws
Environment=VARIANT_ID=MyVariant #<-- my variant

Also I tried to stop cockpit.service and run with the variable setted, no effect

I copied centos folder to centos-MyVariant and changed the logo image. I expected to see the new image, but nothing changed

Any ideas? What I'm missing?
