Question is: is that expected or a bug?
This is expected today. No one has written the necessary bits to list
it on that page. See
https://cockpit-project.org/blog/making-a-cockpit-application.html for
the necessary steps.
At first glance, it doesn't seem that elaborate. If I remember correctly, there is
some interest in getting into the technical details. Maybe someone can be found for an
update.

It's intentional, because we don't want the installation of the RPM to
change the system configuration implicitly. As for the Samba changes,
adding `include = registry` is a significant change to how Samba works
and should not be done without user involvement to avoid breaking an
existing setup.
I wrote a stub of a documentation:
Managing file sharing using Cockpit
https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/service-filesharin...
I use CentOS as an example.
To all our testers: I would be grateful for ideas and hints what else should go into this
documentation. Especially Samba, my own experiences with it are about a decade ago.
And for NFS I miss the part about NFS 4.0 and the different authentication options.

This is something I forgot to even look at, sorry.
A good point for an update, too.
