+Title: Cockpit does Docker

+Slug: cockpit-does-docker
+
+Here's a short video showing how Cockpit manages Docker containers.
+Cockpit is in RHEL branding here, but it's basically the same thing as
+you get from [cockpit-project.org][]
+
+<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/5dM4CqIp2s4" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="480" width="853"></iframe>
+  
+This UI is going to be refined somewhat, but it's nice to see things
+coming together.

+Title: DBus is powerful IPC
+Date: 2014-11-04
+Category: Linux
+Tags: dbus, linux
+Slug: d-bus-is-powerful-ipc
+
+D-Bus is powerful IPC Cockpit is heavily built around DBus. We send DBus over our
+[WebSocket transport](https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/doc/protocol.md),
+and marshal them in JSON.
+
+DBus is powerful, with lots of capabilities. Not all projects use all of these, but so many of
+these capabilities are what allow Cockpit to implement its UI.
+
+ * Method Call Transactions
+ * Object Oriented
+ * Efficient Signalling
+ * Properties and notifications
+ * Race free watching of entire Object trees for changes
+ * Broadcasting
+ * Discovery
+ * Introspection
+ * Policy
+ * Activation
+ * Synchronization
+ * Type-safe Marshalling
+ * Caller Credentials
+ * Security
+ * Debug Monitoring
+ * File Descriptor Passing
+ * Language agnostic
+ * Network transparency
+ * No trust required
+ * High-level error concept
+ * Adhoc type definitions
+
+Lennart goes into these further [in a kdbus talk](http://youtu.be/HPbQzm_iz_k?t=2m6s), as well as some of the weaknesses of DBus.

+Title: Cockpit has Docker pull support
+Date: 2014-06-24
+Category: Cockpit
+Tags: cockpit, docker
+
+Cockpit 0.12 now has support for pulling Docker images from the
+[Docker registry](https://registry.hub.docker.com/).
+
+![Docker pull support](images/cockpit-docker-pull.png)
+
+Unfortunately Docker doesn't have support for cancelling the pull of an image. So that
+sort of hampers the UI a bit. At least for now.

+Title: Introducing Cockpit
+Date: 2014-02-13 12:46
+Tags: technical
+Slug: introducing-cockpit
+
+Gave a [talk at DevConf][] in Brno about the project a bunch of us have
+been working on: [Cockpit][]. It's a UI for Linux Servers. Currently in
+the prototype stage...  
+  
+![Cockpit login](images/cockpit1.png)
+
+Hopefully there'll be a video of the talk available soon. You can try
+out the Cockpit prototype in Fedora like so:  
+  
+    :::text
+    # yum install --enablerepo=updates-testing cockpit
+    # setenforce 0 # issue 200
+    # systemctl enable cockpit-ws.socket
+    $ xdg-open http://localhost:21064
+
+  
+**Don't run this on a system you care about (yet).** Sorry about the
+certificate warning. Groan ... I know ... working on that.  
+  
+Needless to say I'm excited about where this is going...
