Cockpit 255
Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly.
Here are the release notes from Cockpit 255 and cockpit-machines 254:
FreeIPA-issued webserver certificates get auto-renewed
When you join a FreeIPA realm with Cockpit, it automatically requests a TLS certificate for its webserver from the FreeIPA domain controller. Browsers usually trust these certificates much more than the default self-signed ones. Cockpit now calls ipa-getcert in such a way that the generated /etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/10-ipa.{cert,key}
certificate gets renewed automatically.
Machines: Support configuring static MAC → IP address mappings
It is often useful to assign a fixed IPv4 address to a particular VM. Cockpit can now add DHCP host entries to existing virtual networks. These entries map a specific MAC address to an IP address.
