Nice work on SOSreport. 
Would be interesting to support SOSreport inside a container on atomic host.

Subject: Cockpit 0.83 and 0.84

This is a summary of the Cockpit weekly releases. Over the last weeks 
there was was 0.83 and 0.84 


Building Cockpit on Debian 
-------------------------- 

At systemd.conf Dominik worked with Michael Biebl one of the Debian 
systemd maintainers on packaging Cockpit for Debian. We're still looking 
for a maintainer long term.

Cross Distro Integration Tests 
------------------------------ 

In Cockpit we run hundreds of tests on real operating systems for each 
pull request. Without running these tests on an OS it's impossible to 
know that the features of Cockpit actually works. 

So far we've been running these tests on Fedora, Atomic, and RHEL. But 
we'd really like to run them on Debian as well. That'll make Cockpit 
much more well rounded. 

Marius worked on the first steps toward this, doing the Cockpit build 
inside of our test VM images: 

https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/3138 

Hopefully we'll see more progress on this. 


SELinux certificate file type 
----------------------------- 

The cockpit.service helpfully sets the appropriate user and group on the 
certificates that cockpit-ws will use for TLS. Now it also sets the 
SELinux file context type properly, so this is one less things to break 
for an admin. 


Cockpit manual page 
------------------- 

There is now a 'man cockpit' overview manual page that links to the 
guide and elsewhere. 


Next 
---- 

Marius has done work on an SOS reporting view. Needs some further 
backend work, but should be ready soon:

Peter has mostly completed the work to add machines with alternate 
users, and non-standard SSH ports. Among other things, this is useful 
for cloud instances. I'm looking forward to seeing this in Cockpit 0.85.
