# cockpit-certificates



A certificate management plugin for [Cockpit](https://cockpit-project.org/)



# Technologies



- cockpit-certificates communicates with [certmonger](https://www.freeipa.org/page/Certmonger) through its D-Bus API.



# Getting and building the source



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/skobyda/cockpit-certificates.git

cd cockpit-certificates

make

```



# Installing



`sudo make install` compiles and installs the package in `/usr/share/cockpit/`. The

convenience targets `srpm` and `rpm` build the source and binary rpms,

respectively. Both of these make use of the `dist` target, which is used

to generate the distribution tarball. In `production` mode, source files are

automatically minified and compressed. Set `NODE_ENV=production` if you want to

duplicate this behavior.



For development, you usually want to run your module straight out of the git

tree. To do that, run `make devel-install`, which links your checkout to the

location were cockpit-bridge looks for packages. If you prefer to do

this manually:



```

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/cockpit

ln -s `pwd`/dist ~/.local/share/cockpit/cockpit-certificates

```



After changing the code and running `make` again, reload the Cockpit page in

your browser.



You can also use

[watch mode](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#watch) to

automatically update the bundle on every code change with



    $ npm run watch



or



    $ make watch



When developing against a virtual machine, watch mode can also automatically upload

the code changes by setting the `RSYNC` environment variable to

the remote hostname.



    $ RSYNC=c make watch



To "uninstall" the locally installed version, run `make devel-uninstall`, or

remove manually the symlink:



    rm ~/.local/share/cockpit/cockpit-certificates



# Running eslint



cockpit-certificates uses [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) to automatically check

JavaScript code style in `.js` and `.jsx` files.



eslint is executed within every build.



For developer convenience, the ESLint can be started explicitly by:



    $ npm run eslint



Violations of some rules can be fixed automatically by:



    $ npm run eslint:fix



Rules configuration can be found in the `.eslintrc.json` file.



# Running tests locally



Run `make check` to build an RPM, install it into a standard Cockpit test VM

(centos-8-stream by default), and run the test/check-application integration test on

it. This uses Cockpit's Chrome DevTools Protocol based browser tests, through a

Python API abstraction. Note that this API is not guaranteed to be stable, so

if you run into failures and don't want to adjust tests, consider checking out

Cockpit's test/common from a tag instead of main (see the `test/common`

target in `Makefile`).



After the test VM is prepared, you can manually run the test without rebuilding

the VM, possibly with extra options for tracing and halting on test failures

(for interactive debugging):



    TEST_OS=centos-8-stream test/check-application -tvs



You can also run the test against a different Cockpit image, for example:



    TEST_OS=fedora-testing make check



# Running tests in CI



Tests also run in [Packit](https://packit.dev/) for all currently supported

Fedora releases; see the [packit.yaml](./packit.yaml) control file. You need to

[enable Packit-as-a-service](https://packit.dev/docs/packit-as-a-service/) in your GitHub project to use this.

To run the tests in the exact same way for upstream pull requests and for

[Fedora package update gating](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ci/), the

tests are wrapped in the [FMF metadata format](https://github.com/psss/fmf)

for using with the [tmt test management tool](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ci/tmt/).

Note that Packit tests can *not* run their own virtual machine images, thus

they only run [@nondestructive tests](https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/blob/main/test/common/testlib.py).



# Automated maintenance



It is important to keep your [NPM modules](./package.json) up to date, to keep

up with security updates and bug fixes. This happens with

[dependabot](https://github.com/dependabot),

see [configuration file](.github/dependabot.yml).
