Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from versions 141 and 142. Virtual machines display an interactive console ----------------------------------------------- Marek changed the Virtual Machines page to offer easy access to graphical consoles in the new "Console" tab. If the VM has a VNC server enabled, then there is now an inline noVNC console: Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zVi44KQ8KU http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/machines-inline-console.png If the VM only has a SPICE server, or the inline console is not sufficient, you can use "Switch to Desktop Viewer" and with a single button click open virt-viewer for that VM: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/machines-external-console.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5932 Document how to grant/restrict access via polkit rules ------------------------------------------------------ Users who are not administrators can normally not perform actions such as changing the hostname or start/stop systemd services. The Privileges and Permissions section in the guide and the systemd feature page now describe how to use polkit rules allow fine-grained permissions such as "that user can restart this particular service". http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/privileges.html http://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/feature-systemd.html Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6900 Attempt to tear down used partitions when formatting disks ---------------------------------------------------------- Trying to format a disk on the "Disks" page which still has partitions which are in use (mounted or used as an LVM physical volume) will now attempt to unmount/remove the physical volume, instead of just failing: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/cockpit-storage-teardown-device.png Change: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/6275 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 142 is available in Fedora 26: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-142-1.fc26 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/142 Take care, Stef
