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

You can clone this repository by running

git clone https://github.com/Xantios/cockpit-docker

3) Install

run the ./install script

Manual install as user module

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-docker

then 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

License

Cockpit is licensed under the GNU Lesser general public license. So im 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 lets fork !
