Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from versions 119 and 120. You’ll notice that we’ve dropped the 0.x from the beginning of the version numbers. This underscores the fact that Cockpit is stable. We’ve been regularly releasing functionally stable releases for most of the last year. Expandable and Filterable Containers and Images ----------------------------------------------- Lars reworked the Containers section of Cockpit. The various images and containers are not expandable inline, and it’s also easy to find a specific image and container by using the filter bar to search for it. Demo: https://youtu.be/-huY6q7kcmU Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/4952 VM Configuration and Monitoring ------------------------------- Marek worked on a new interface in Cockpit for configuring and monitoring virtual machines running on the current system. This has the ability to grow into something like the desktop virt-manager tool.

You can’t configure them or do much with them, but their presence is acknowledged. This should make troubleshooting non-standard configurations easier. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5053 Sidebar for Physical Volumes in a Volume Group ---------------------------------------------- Marius added a sidebar that shows up on LVM groups or volumes, that shows which physical devices are involved.

We now launch a separate cockpit-ssh process for each outgoing connection to another server. This lets us isolate the involved code much better, providing security benefits. But it also makes it possible to insert additional logic when embedding Cockpit. It’s possible to put in shims to lookup keys, single-sign-on tokens or keytabs, and so on.

This tightens up security and prevents certain reflection attacks. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5118 Fix bugs preventing Logs page from working in Firefox 49 -------------------------------------------------------- The Logs section of Cockpit failed to function on Firefox 49. This version includes a fix for that. Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5189 Add tooltip describing group name in Roles list ----------------------------------------------- When configuring local user accounts, one can assign various roles such as ‘Server Administrator’ to the account. Cockpit now displays the Unix user group that is involved in the role.
