Cockpit 340

by Freya Gustavsson –
category: release

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

Here are the release notes from Cockpit 340, cockpit-podman 107, cockpit-machines 333, and cockpit-ostree 211:

Storage: Prevent modifying unsupported partitions

Cockpit now detects unsupported partitions and displays a notice that Cockpit does not support it, such as modifying LVM2 Logical Volume partitions.

Screenshot showing a notice inside a GPT partitions card saying "Unexpected partitions" in bold, followed by a description saying "Partitions are not supported on this block device. If it is used as a disk for a virtual machine, the partitions must be managed by the operating system inside the virtual machine."

Storage: Rename safety warning

We now display a warning when renaming volume groups that contain the root filesystem as it might break the next boot.

Quadlet logs now link to their systemd service log page counterpart.

An image of a podman logs page for a container called "systemd-test" below the black logs box is a link saying "View test.service logs".

Machines: Virtual network interfaces can now select source mode

When adding a new virtual network interface you can now select between VEPA, Bridge, Private, or Passthrough for more flexibility with how machines are exposed to the network.

Screenshot showing off new form selection, it includes an information button for "Source" as well as a radio button to select either VEPA, Bridge, Private, or Passthrough.

Try it out

Cockpit 340, cockpit-podman 107, cockpit-files 22, cockpit-machines 334, and cockpit-ostree 211 are available now:
