Cockpit Wicked

Cockpit user interface for wicked.

Current Status

Although it is in a very early stage of development, it already supports a set of basic uses cases:

• Browse interfaces and configurations.
• Configure basic IPv4/IPv6 settings.
• Set up wireless devices (only WEP and WPA-PSK are supported by now).
• Set up bridges, bonding and VLAN devices (experimental).
• Manage routes (work in progress).
• Set basic DNS settings (policy, static name servers and search list).

However, many features are still missing:

• Complete support for wireless devices.
• Support for advanced devices, like TUN/TAP or Infiniband.
• Handle IP forwarding configuration.
• Devices renaming.
• Other goodies like displaying Wicked's logs or device statistics, as the NetworkManager module already does.

Installing

make install compiles and installs the package in /usr/share/cockpit/. The convenience targets srpm and rpm build the source and binary rpms, respectively. Both of these make use of the dist-gzip target, which is used to generate the distribution tarball. In production mode, source files are automatically minified and compressed. Set NODE_ENV=production if you want to duplicate this behavior.

For development, you usually want to run your module straight out of the git tree. To do that, link that to the location were cockpit-bridge looks for packages:

make devel-install

After changing the code and running make again, reload the Cockpit page in your browser.

You can also use watch mode to automatically update the webpack on every code change with

npm run watch

or

make watch
