This week it was 0.77 + +### Componentizing Cockpit + +Marius and Stef completed a long running refactoring task of splitting +Cockpit into components. + +In an age long gone Cockpit used to be one monolithic piece of HTML and +javascript. Over the last year we've steadily refactored to split this +out so various components can be loaded optionally and/or from different +servers depending on capabilities and operating system versions. + +Marius also removed a cockpitd DBus service that we've also been moving +away from. Cockpit wants to talk to system APIs and not install its own +API wrappers like cockpitd. + + +### The URLs changed + +Because of the above, we unfortunately had to change the URLs. But we've +taken the opportunity to make them a lot simpler and cleaner. + + + +### Authentication when Embedding Cockpit + +Stef worked on partitioning the cockpit authentication so that embedders +of Cockpit components don't need to share authentication state with a +normal instance of Cockpit loaded in a browser. + + + +### Deleting and Adjusting Kubernetes Objects + +Subin implemented deletion kubernetes objects, and adjust things like +the number of replicas in Replication Controllers. + + + + +### Warning when too many machines + +Cockpit now gives a warning when adding "too many" machines to the +dashboard. We've set the warning to 20 machines, but various operating +systems can set this warning to be lower. + +![Screenshot](https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/55d623eddcb5795e8b5cff13/968x790/0e77b8ce653b79d29a2cc9de75b86b03/dc0c74d8-5e2f-11e5-91fc-901b633a059d.png) + + +### From the Future + +Andreas did designs for managing the SSH keys loaded for use when connecting to machines: + +![Wireframes](https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/55f14b769262e42e89775936/3555x3301/0c0166255eaf092025c8a5c95f84f15f/ssh-keys-v2.png) + + +### Try it out + +Cockpit 0.77 is available now here: + + * [Source Tarball](https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/0.77) + * [Fedora 23 and Fedora Rawhide](https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-16557) + * [COPR for Fedora 21, 22, CentOS and RHEL](https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/sgallagh/cockpit-preview/) + diff --git a/content/cockpit/cockpit-0.78.md b/content/cockpit/cockpit-0.78.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..02cf340 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/cockpit/cockpit-0.78.md @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +Title: Cockpit 0.78 Released +Date: 2015-09-30 21:23 +Tags: cockpit, linux, technical +Slug: cockpit-0.78 +Summary: Cockpit releases every week.
