Latest Docker plugin update

Zitat von ryecoaaron

I've been testing cockpit for months on my omv test VM. It doesn't seem to have any docker features that I can find. It is more for managing one or more machines. Maybe it has more features when running on redhat machines but it is pretty spares on Debian.

The link to the article shows how to set up dockers. Make Container Management Easy With Cockpit

It looks like you have been busy while I have be gone. Nice Work!

Either it doesn't have that option on Debian or my install needs to be updated because I don't see any container option.

I have it installed. You just need to follow the directions above to add it.

I didn't realize there was a bunch of cockpit packages. I didn't have cockpit-docker installed. So, I looked to see what other packages there are. I saw some good ones and installed them: cockpit-docker cockpit-machines cockpit-packagekit cockpit-storaged
Needless to say, I am impressed. The virtual machine section is a very good frontend for kvm. Just need to install a few other things: apt-get install virtinst qemu-kvm qemu-utils and I have a VM running with an excellent web console (see attached pic) Some more testing and I might be recommending this instead of virtualbox. The container stuff is very good as well. Simple to use and adds the ports/volumes automatically.

Hell, with the storage plugin, it does a lot of what OMV does. I think people will probably like the terminal emulator. I installed cockpit on a second VM and was easily able to add it to the first cockpit instance. Pretty cool managing both machines from one interface. I will be playing with this a lot more...

Yes, it could solve some of the problems of omv. It is not perfect, but it is a simple alternative.

I followed your video on YouTube

But I can not login to Cockpit. It will not accept any user:password combination including the root user. It just says permission denied.

Any ideas?

SOLVED

Problem:

Nov 25 21:55:36 omv cockpit-session[929]: pam_shells(cockpit:account): /etc/shells is either world writable or not a normal file

Solution:

sudo chmod 644 /etc/shells

Hello TenoDaddy right away I ran into a problem do you know what is the problem?
I double checked the spelling apt-get install virtinst qemu-kvm qemu-utils

root@rockpro64:~# apt-get install virtinst qemu-kvm qemu-utils

Package qemu-kvm is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source


E: Package 'qemu-kvm' has no installation candidate

It could be that it is not in the arm repo. Anybody have an arm machine up and running?

Just wanted to let you know that adding that PPA is not needed. It is out of date and the package in its repo is older than what's in the stretch-backports repo.

I didn’t even try. I just assumed it would be in the repo. I like the easy way.
