A certificate management plugin for Cockpit
- cockpit-certificates communicates with certmonger through its D-Bus API.
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
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 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
cockpit-certificates uses ESLint 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.
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
Tests also run in Packit for all currently supported Fedora releases; see the packit.yaml control file. You need to enable 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, the tests are wrapped in the FMF metadata format for using with the tmt test management tool. Note that Packit tests can not run their own virtual machine images, thus they only run @nondestructive tests.
It is important to keep your NPM modules up to date, to keep up with security updates and bug fixes. This happens with dependabot, see configuration file.
