Branding question

[Douglas Schilling Landgraf]

Hi,

As the next ovirt node will be integrated to cockpit, and we will 
install a release rpm into the host to update /etc/os-release, we are 
wondering if we can create/update any flle in cockpit dirs for branding 
and/or include any image to be displayed in the cockpit portal.

Thanks!

I've taken a moment to document how branding works:

Here's the pull request, so if something is not clear, this is where to
comment:

I would say you wouldn't want to do do this. Cockpit is delivered with
lots of compressed and bundled files.

By 'portal' do you mean the machines dashboard? If you need the ability
to add stuff to the machines dashboard, then we should figure out if/how
we want to make that possible.

Alternatively, you could write a specific summary screen or dashboard
for ovirt node.

Am I understanding this right?

Thanks for the quick reply, I believe this is enough and good start.

You are correct. Make sense to write a specific summary screen or 
dashboard for ovirt-node.
Let me double check how we will proceed and if I need any additional 
data I will drop an email.

Thanks!
