Removing modules (and packages), compatibility with NethGUI
My test server was installed with NethGUI, then it was updated and I installed several packages (and modules) from NethGUI. Now also Cockpit is present.
But…
Just trying to point out the situation, that’s not a complain.
IMHO, at least from Software Center I should be able to:
Both functions are implemented in the Applications page.
Roles are
This is a design choice: modules not shown in Cockpit should be considered almost deprecated.
We are updating the doc, but it takes some time: Describe Cockpit usage by gsanchietti · Pull Request #446 · NethServer/docs · GitHub
Optional packages are now installed by default from Software Center. If a packages has not been installed, each application should detect it a display a button to add the missing package.
There are no plans for that at the moment
I’m using cockpit-machines on NethServer.
@filippo_carletti Please elaborate and post some guidelines how we all can benefit from your experience…
In a terminal, type:
yum install cockpit-machines
Then go to cockpit. That’s it.
Thank you.
I this helps to benefit from the other cockpit dev efforts.
Hi;
Congratulations on the cockpit integration, it’s very good and an excellent choice.
So, as requested, I’ve played with it and I’ve had few problems and I’ve seen few things that I think could be improved.
How we remove/uninstall packages/services via cockpit ?
The option Automatic backups to keep (number) is not working, I can’t define how many backup I want to keep.
For unity and simplicity, I think it would be nice to have a submenu of icon for the Application Menu
Beg your pardon. Single RPM package, not module?
Just fiddling a bit with this. @filippo_carletti do you happen to know to what interface the cockpit-machines option is listening/accessable?
Is it possible to check and make sure it is only available through a GREEN interface?
Exacly… how you think that this is achievable? It’s a part of an application server which use port 9090.
So… or you allow connection to port 9090 (reducing footprint specifing allowed addresses to connect)… or you dont. At least… combining Shorewall and Cockpit settings.
Modules can be removed from Applications.
@dnutan packages != modules. AFAIK now only way to install a package of CentOS (mc, for instance) is shell.
Thnx for the insight @pike
I made the thinking-error between the interface and the VM’s that are running, managed through the interface.
I would like to make sure the VM is behind NAT (from NethServer). I perfectly am able to disable RED interface for NethServer-cockpit (so it is only available from GREEN, through VPN)
So basically I need to know how networking is set for VM’s. I probably need to just launch a VM and see what happens.
BTW, in my recollection I seem to remember cockpit can also handle containers. Is that another module and if so, would it be possible to use that too on nethserver-cockpit?
/edit: found some info but unsure if this is going to work for NethServer: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-add-container-management-to-cockpit/
I’m sorry if I used the wrong term, but I don’t understand your comment
via the old GUI you have a button which I didn’t found one similar on cockpit
Now I understand yum remove
and/or rpm -e
exist
I understand not using the right terminology could be source of frustration but
the ***** Backup is a package, a module or simply a software ?
Backup restore
Module to restore…
I’m sorry for the late response, @JOduMont, the backup is considered a module, which most of times is a metapackage or a packages with dependencies.
UTF8 display in Complete Name,
Fellow @ertank view a part of his Complete name contains characters different than ASCII.
Maybe some of the configuration about Cockpit should be enhanced for use UTF8?
