next steps for migrating Cloud Base image to Fedora Server?

by Matthew Miller

I think we had general agreement around what we want to do here: have the Cloud Base Image become instead Fedora Server, but shipped as a cloud image and made available in cloud providers. What are the next steps to actually get there? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Cockpit 128 and 129

by 'Dominik Perpeet'

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-129.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 128 and 129 Manage remotes and rebasing in OSTree ------------------------------------- When working with OSTrees on operating systems like Atomic Host [1] there will often be multiple branches to choose from. For example there may be a beta version of the operating system. Thanks to Peter’s work, Cockpit can now switch between branches and view and activate OSTrees from those branches. Also, Cockpit supports managing multiple remotes and viewing their branches. Remotes are a way of describing where OSTree should pull updates from. Take a look at the video below for a demo. Demo: https://youtu.be/dF8M3xq9FcI Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5599 [1] http://www.projectatomic.io/docs/os-updates/ The subpackage cockpit-dashboard has been split out --------------------------------------------------- The new |cockpit-dashboard| subpackage contains the dashboard itself and the |cockpit-ssh| process. Eventually this paves the way for more flexibility regarding authentication processes, but for now |cockpit-ws| unconditionally depends on |cockpit-dashboard|, and also requires the identical versions. Nothing changes for those who install the |cockpit| package. But this allows more flexibility when using Cockpit for specific use cases. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5338 Issues upgrading Cockpit on Debian and Fedora have been fixed ------------------------------------------------------------- Our packaging changes in recent versions broke upgrading Cockpit on Debian and Fedora. This is fixed now and updates should work properly once again. On Atomic, sosreport works again -------------------------------- A bug that prevented the diagnostic tool sosreport from working on Atomic systems was fixed. Generating and accessing these diagnostic reports can be very helpful when diagnosing or reporting an issue on the system. Optionally disable the dependency on libssh ------------------------------------------- When configuring Cockpit, the option |disable-ssh| disables building |cockpit-ssh| and removes the dependency on |libssh|. This is useful when building on an operating system where |libssh| is not available. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5743 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 129 is available in Fedora 25: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-129-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/129 Thanks, Dominik

FMW link for Server getfedora page?

by Matthew Miller

The Fedora Media Writer has been a big success for Workstation. The tool can also create Fedora Server install media. I'm not sure we want to change the default download for Server to FMW for Windows and Mac users like we did for Workstation, but maybe there should be a link to it at least? -- Matthew Miller <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader

Agenda for Server SIG Weekly Meeting (2017-01-17)

by Stephen Gallagher

We need to cover the release-blocking deliverables for Fedora 26 and we should probably aim to cover the marketing-friendly name for the modular Fedora Server as well. If anyone has high-priority topics to bring up, please reply.

The list is available on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/ReleaseBlocking/... . In case you find any discrepancy in the list, feel free to correct it or let me know and I will correct it then.

Cockpit 126 and 127

by Stef Walter

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-127.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 126 and 127 Show security scan information about container images ----------------------------------------------------- Lars did work to show security scan information about container images. The displayed scans happen via the atomic scan [1] tools and the data comes from the OpenSCAP [2] system. Take a look at the video below. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zANUkEmfaAk Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4952 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5259 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5686 [1] https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2016/05/02/introducing-atomic-scan-con... [2] https://www.open-scap.org/ Choose whether password is cached and reused on the login screen ---------------------------------------------------------------- The typical workflow for peforming privileged tasks on a Linux system is to log in as a non-root user and then use sudo or Polkit to escalate privileges. Stef did work to make Cockpit's privilege escalation reflect this properly. Cockpit now has an option on the login screen to "Reuse my password for privileged tasks". Checking this option automatically performs reuses the login password as necessary to escalate privileges. If you leave this box unchecked then Cockpit will behave exactly as a normal user login without special privileges. In the future we'll have a way to enable this option once logged in, and retype your password inside of the logged in session. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TW6UsPbNkV4 Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5522 The remotectl command can now combine certificate and key files --------------------------------------------------------------- Peter did work to make it easier to use TLS certificate and key files with Cockpit for port 9090. Normally the server certificate(s) and key need to be combined into a single file and placed into the /etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d directory. The remotectl command that comes with Cockpit can now be used to build such a combined file. Due to this, when Cockpit is deployed as an Openshift Pod it can use certificates provided by Openshift. Docs: man remotectl Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5525 Cockpit respects /etc/shells ---------------------------- Martin fixed Cockpit so it only allows the user to log in if the user has a valid shell listed in /etc/shells. In addition bugs on Ubuntu and Debian have been fixed where users were created without valid shells. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5665 Allow renaming of active devices in networking interface -------------------------------------------------------- You can now rename network devices like bonds or bridges while they're active. The change will apply immediately and without any interruption in service. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5570 Rename cockpit-shell to cockpit-system -------------------------------------- The cockpit-shell subpackage has been renamed to cockpit-system to better reflect its focus: configuring and troubleshooting the local system. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5600 Kerberos authentication now work even if gss-proxy is in use ------------------------------------------------------------ Sometimes Kerberos (or GSSAPI) single-sign-on authentication requires multiple round trips to the server. Cockpit now supports this properly, and the end result is that SSO works even when fancy things like GSS-Proxy [3] are in use. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5495 [3] https://fedorahosted.org/gss-proxy/ Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 127 is available in Fedora 25: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-127-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/127 Take care, Stef
