Cockpit 343
category: release
Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly.
Here are the release notes from Cockpit 343 and cockpit-machines 336:
Machines: Graphical VNC and serial consoles have been improved
It is now easier to switch between these two console types, and also easier to launch a remote viewer. Cockpit can now add VNC and serial consoles to machines that are missing them, and can change the port and password of the VNC servers of individual machines.
Machines: Control VNC console resizing and scaling
You can now explicitly control the graphical console’s resizing and scaling behaviour in expanded mode:
- “No scaling or resizing” gets you an 1-to-1 pixel perfect view of a remote desktop, but possibly with scrollbars, depending on the browser window size.
- “Local scaling” scales the console in the browser and thus is compatible with small browser windows and large remote resolutions, but is harder to read.
- “Remote resizing” asks the remote machine to set a native resolution that matches Cockpit’s console view. This keeps crisp graphics, but may not be compatible with all operating systems.
