Cockpit (http://cockpit-project.org/) is a server manager that makes it easy to administer your GNU/Linux servers via a web browser. It can be used to manage the Project Atomic host as well. More than one host can be managed through one Cockpit instance. Cockpit does not come by default with the latest Project Atomic, and you will need to start it as a Super Privileged Container (SPC). SPCs are specially built containers that run with security turned off (--privileged
); they turn off one or more of the namespaces or "volume mounts in" parts of the host OS into the container. For more details on SPC, refer to https://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/11/06/introducing-a-super-privileged-container-concept/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJIeGnHtIYg.
Because Cockpit runs as an SPC, it can access the resources needed to manage the Atomic host within the container.
