Cockpit

geaves · Nov 26th 2018

@TechnoDadLife just watched the Cockpit video, I take if you had no plans to use a vm you could bypass the first install.

geaves · Nov 27th 2018

Ok, just tried the install and get the following;

Code

E: Unable to locate package cockpit
E: Unable to locate package cockpit-docker
E: Unable to locate package cockpit-machines
E: Unable to locate package cockpit-packagekit
E: Unable to locate package cockpit-storaged

But, it does install the first set of commands, searching, the option seems to be to add the following to the etc/apt/sources.list

Code

deb  http://deb.debian.org/debian  stretch main
deb-src  http://deb.debian.org/debian  stretch main

You have to have backports enabled to install cockpit - https://packages.debian.org/se…on=names&keywords=cockpit

Thanks, must have missed the memo and it installs with backports.

It will install with the PPA or backports. The version in the PPA is old though.

I like it, displays some easier to read information, groups updates together i.e. latest samba release.

How do I install backports on armbian? (sorry if it's a stupid question)

You click the enable backports button in omv-extras.

enabling this results in a popup with "communication failure", and endless waiting while its tries to enable.

Your system is struggling with apt-get update then. Post the output of (run as root): apt-get update

Mine did the same, after 10 mins of watching 'enabling backports' I refreshed the page, then carried on with the install, and it's working.

had to delete some of it because of posting limit - hope this makes sense

You can ignore the weakref.py issue. There are many posts about this in the forum.

To fix it
get -O /usr/lib/python3.5/weakref.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python/cpython/9cd7e17640a49635d1c1f8c2989578a8fc2c1de6/Lib/weakref.py

Regarding the multiple listing you can commend in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault-kernel-backports.list

Remove the backports line from /etc/apt/sources.list

Ok thanks for that. Errors are gone. But installation fails

Yes, was just following the Cockpit install video from Technodadlife.
I skipped this step (virtualization), and Cockpit is now installed
Thanks for your help!

Not sure why Debian doesn't package the qemu-kvm package but most people probably would never create an arm virtual machine.

Today, we will install Cockpit to manage our dockers, VMs, terminal and Users on Openmediavault

I forgot in the video that you need backports enabled if it isn’t already.

Man I was looking just for that!
I have 2 questions:
1) Does cockpit manage history too? Or does it show the usage from only when you open the webpage?
2) Why do you need to install the qemu-kvm? Do I need it even if I don't need to manage any virtual machines?
