Cockpit 238
Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly.
Here are the release notes from Cockpit version 238.
Updates: List outdated software that needs a restart
Cockpit now uses Tracer to discover outdated services and applications after each software update.
In some cases, software updates might not require a reboot or any services to be restarted.
When necessary, Cockpit will prompt to restart services or schedule a system reboot.
Currently, Tracer is only supported in Fedora. In distributions where Tracer is not available, Cockpit will reboot after software updates, as it has previously done.
Web server: Preserve permissions of administrator-provided certificates
Cockpit’s web server supports and encourages using your own TLS certificate and key in /etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/.
certificates.
For enhanced compatibility with other software, Cockpit has been changed to only adjust permissions for certificates it creates and manages itself. These specific files are 0-self-signed.cert and 10-ipa.cert. If you do provide your own certificate, you must ensure these files are readable by the cockpit-ws user or group, in addition to other software using the certificates.
System: Performance page shows busiest CPU cores
Machines: VM disk creation supports a custom path
Custom paths are now supported when adding disks to a VM. Supported file types include disk files (qcow, qcow2, and raw images) and CD/DVD ISOs (which will be attached as a CD-ROM device).
