Cockpit 329

Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly.

Here are the release notes from cockpit 329 and cockpit-files 12:

Shell: Improve warning when connecting to remote hosts

While Cockpit 322 deprecated the “host switcher” on newer distribution versions, connecting to hosts within Cockpit is still possible on older distribution versions or when using a specific override in cockpit.conf. Cockpit now displays a clear warning when connecting to a remote host, as all connected hosts can control each other.

This warning can be disabled by including the following in /etc/cockpit/cockpit.conf:

[Session]
WarnBeforeConnecting=false

Files: File creation support

Create new files directly in Cockpit Files. Enter the file name and content. Ownership is automatically determined from the current directory, but can be changed if needed.
