# cockpit-machines

This is the [Cockpit](https://cockpit-project.org/) user interface for virtual machines.

## Technologies

- [libvirt-dbus](https://libvirt.org/dbus.html) for enumerating machines, getting status

  update notifications, and operations such as start/stop/delete

- [virt-install](https://manpages.org/virt-install) and [virt-xml](https://manpages.org/virt-xml)

  for creating and modifying machine definitions; both part of the

  [virt-manager](https://virt-manager.org/) project

# Development dependencies

On Debian/Ubuntu:

    $ sudo apt install gettext nodejs make

On Fedora:

    $ sudo dnf install gettext nodejs make

# Getting and building the source

These commands check out the source and build it into the `dist/` directory:

```

git clone https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines

cd cockpit-machines

make

```

# Installing

`sudo make install` installs the package in `/usr/local/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.

# Development instructions

See [HACKING.md](./HACKING.md) for details about how to efficiently change the

code, run, and test it.

# Automated release

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/workflows/release.yml)

[GitHub action](https://github.com/features/actions) workflow. This creates the

official release tarball and publishes as upstream release to GitHub.

The Fedora and COPR releases are done with [Packit](https://packit.dev/),

see the [packit.yaml](./packit.yaml) control file.

# 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).

Translations are refreshed every Tuesday evening (or manually) through the

[weblate-sync-po.yml](.github/workflows/weblate-sync-po.yml) action.

Conversely, the PO template is uploaded to weblate every day through the

[weblate-sync-pot.yml](.github/workflows/weblate-sync-pot.yml) action.
