I love Cockpit, it's so comfortable to use.

Cockpit looks nice and all that, but the version I tried didn't seem to have as many features or as much control like webmin does.

Tried Cockpit on Ubuntu? If so, you probably been using a old version because the only distro that I know that always has the latest version is Fedora.

Yep I'm a Debian/Ubuntu guy. I could probably add the repository for the latest version to try out if it does have more features. I'm normally straight up do everything through cli but wanted to try it out. then I tried webmin out which I haven't touched in over 8 years. They have defiantly improve things on their panel.

You can trying using auditd to audit the file.

sudo apt-get install auditd

Running sudo auditctl -l by default show no rules

Create a temporary rule to audit changes to index.php

sudo auditctl -w /var/www/html/index.php -p rwxa # -p = read, write, execute, attributes

Run sudo auditctl -l will show the rule that was created.
Now run sudo ausearch -f index.php | more to show what's touching index.php
or sudo tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep index.php.

@black3dynamite Can this be set via the CLI of cockpit?

These are not cockpit settings. what good would that do you?

Cockpit is meant to manage the server as a whole, so I would assume with the CLI interface from cockpit you could send the virsh commands to set this.

That is just a terminal session, so of course, not a cockpit CLI (ie a command line for managing cockpit only)

Ah, obviously I didn't explain myself clearly.

I meant using the console to send the virsh commands to set this from within the Cockpit webpage.

Right, that would of course work because it is simply a normal terminal session to the box. Just accessed via the Cockpit GUI instead of SSH or locally.

it relies on DNS (or hosts files) to resolve itself and generate SSL certs, this has to work before you install the engine. If it did work, and you still get this error, this is a bug

@FATeknollogee said in KVM host: refusing connection on ports 22 & 9090:

Still looking for a fix!!

Can you ping out from it? Is the gateway missing or wrong? Subnet missing or wrong?

NTP can take a considerable amount of time (hours) to whip the system clock into submission if it had drifted far off UTC.

You can start the ntpd with an option to force it to change time directly. It used to be that you'd run ntpdate first and then start ntpd but ntpdate has been depreciated.

ntpq -p will show a little more details about the status of ntp sync. First thing to run when troubleshooting ntp.

@atahaynah said in Cockpit:

@DustinB3403 it was stopped

But fortunately i got it resolved i had to downgrade one packege and after that restarted the service and it worked

What did you downgrade to fix the issue?

The dashboard has a pretty graph you can use to see what is going on at a high level.

Honestly, this is all kinda silly.
You are "creating" a problem that simply doesn't exist!!

Cockpit terminal tab, Copy & paste in a Windows 10 vm works.
I just tried it again in v1809 (OS Build 17763.107)

No, he is not. Also, no, it does not "just work" as you say. If it did, the post would never have been made.

I consistently have random issues using copy and paste into a web interface terminal. Both Cockpit and UNMS. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

I do it little enough, that i never care to toubleshoot it.

I'll second this - The troubles in pasting into a web based console are real - and sometimes seemingly random.

I am willing to blame Windows on this problem - but the problem is real.

@scottalanmiller said in KVM with Cockpit on Fedora 29 Network Type Options Greyed Out:

When building a new VM using Cockpit's web interface to KVM on Fedora 29, the Network Type option leaves most options like Bridge to LAN, Generic ethernet connections, and Direct attachment greyed out. Anyone know why?

Did you try with network manager? Any missing package?

@obsolesce said in Fedora 28 KVM Cockpit Doesn't Show All VMs:

Everyone is always waiting for someone else to report bugs and issues, that's why they take so long to get fixed. Not as bad with FOSS, but a big reason with MS for example.

But I don't know that it is a bug. It's reasonable that it might be, but it's just one possibility.

Too bad ovs isnt in the repos for RHEL/CentOS. You can set up these private networks and connect them through a VXLAN with ovs. That way you can have something like a separate dev network on the same hosts and they can communicate between hosts.

Not available in the epel repo?

That is apparently the case unless my google--fu isn't up to snuff

Nope. It is available in Fedora though. If you want to install it you have to manually build the RPMs. While not hard to build it would be a pain to maintain updates.

OVS is used by oVirt so maybe the centos ovirt repo has it (or the ovirt stable repo)

I'm assuming it's just building the RPM since it's not in the normal repo.

Has potential, has anyone played with it in any way yet?

Any open source and free KVM backup software

FOSS is not a requirement to me.

If there was a robust package I could use to get agentless and CBT and file level restore on KVM, I will buy it, if it is reasonable.

There was a thread on the other site about Unitrends having agentless on it sometime this year. Ill have to see if I can find it.

But I cannot even install Unitrends on Hyper-V server.............

Are we allowed to post links from there?

Yes

Since when?

Since the person who made up that insane rule was removed from the site.

Would that insane person be Dave?

Who is Dave?

Nvm.

Oh, Dave from over there? I've never heard him called Dave before. Sorry, I knew it was a joke but couldn't figure out what the joke was.

@scottalanmiller

after reading my post again, I saw that it suggested that I was able to do this, but I was not able.

I really want something easy like this but it needs more research and web development skills, so posting it here encase someone that has that can provide easier steps and successfully accomplish this.

I just did a side-by-side install comparison. Here are the results. The details are in the screenshots: (no Cockpit in minimal install, twice as many packages in basic)
