Docker plugin for Cockpit
So you can manage your docker containers from Cockpit
How to setup ?
1) Install cockpit
First off you need to install cockpit according to Cockpit docs
2) Get the plugin
Download the Latest Release
3) Install
Move or Copy the downloaded release to the cockpit directory. Eg: /usr/share/cockpit
Change to the cockpit directory.
Simply extract:
tar xf cockpit-docker.tar.gz -C .
Manual install as user module
1) Get the plugin
You can clone this repository by running
git clone https://github.com/mrevjd/cockpit-docker
2) Install
run the ./install script
OR
If you want a more advanced way or want to customize things build it like this:
docker build -t cockpit-docker .
docker run -it \
-v $PWD:/app \
--name cockpit-docker \
cockpit-dockerthen link the dist/docker folder to ~/.local/share/cockpit/docker
Manual install as global module
Same as user module but instead of linking to $HOME/.local/share/cockpit/docker link to /usr/share/cockpit/docker
Ubuntu package - YMMV
On Ubuntu 20.04 (and likely others), the cockpit-docker package can still be downloaded and used to retain prior functionality:
wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cockpit/215-1~ubuntu19.10.1/+build/18889196/+files/cockpit-docker_215-1~ubuntu19.10.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i cockpit-docker_215-1~ubuntu19.10.1_all.debLicense
Cockpit is licensed under the GNU Lesser general public license. So I'm stuck with that. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/master/COPYING
Why the fork?
The Cockpit team stopped caring in version 215, declaring they going 'in favor' of podman. a container system nobody uses instead of the defacto standard.
the cockpit-podman plugin is currently in development and is far from feature-complete.
that doesnt stop RedHat from killing it ! but its OSS ! So let's fork !
