This is the Cockpit user interface for podman containers.
-
cockpit-podman communicates to podman through its REST API.
-
This project is based on the Cockpit Starter Kit. See Starter Kit Intro for details.
Make sure you have npm available (usually from your distribution package).
These commands check out the source and build it into the dist/ directory:
git clone https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-podman
cd cockpit-podman
make
sudo make install installs the package in /usr/share/cockpit/. This depends
on the dist target, which generates the distribution tarball.
You can also run make rpm to build RPMs for local installation.
In production mode, source files are automatically minified and compressed.
Set NODE_ENV=production if you want to duplicate this behavior.
See HACKING.md for details about how to efficiently change the code, run, and test it.
The intention is that the only manual step for releasing a project is to create a signed tag for the version number, which includes a summary of the noteworthy changes:
123
- this new feature
- fix bug #123
Pushing the release tag triggers the release.yml GitHub action workflow. This creates the official release tarball and publishes as upstream release to GitHub.
The Fedora and COPR releases are done with Packit, see the packit.yaml control file.
It is important to keep your NPM modules up to date, to keep up with security updates and bug fixes. This is done with the npm-update bot script which is run weekly or upon manual request through the npm-update.yml GitHub action.
Similarly, translations are refreshed every Tuesday evening (or manually) through the weblate-sync-po.yml action. Conversely, the PO template is uploaded to weblate every day through the weblate-sync-pot.yml action.
