Motivation¶

There are two Work Packages associated with 1:1 System Management job group:

• Cockpit
• Containerized YaST

Check https://confluence.suse.com/display/LEONG/ALP+September+prototype.+Workgroups+and+decisions

Containerized YaST should be a temporal (secundary solution) for functionality that right now Cockpit does not provide.
It is still work in progress, but we can start following the guided created by developers:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:ALP/Workgroups/SysMngmnt/Cockpit#Cockpit_at_ALP

Not all is exactly as described, some things are already different:
We need to open the firewall:

firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

and pattern alp_cockpit is not installed by default.

Also notice that "Only one pre-built bootable image will be delivered for the September PoC: x86_64 UEFI"
In the official repo with the images https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/SUSE:/ALP/images/
we just need to use version 9.2 flavor KVM. In previous version, which when trying to run they already indicates that are obsolete, there were more flavors.
We can see how it was tested in openQA initially:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/overview?version=0.1&build=19.9&groupid=100&distri=alp
builds are obsolete (@jlausuch plan to move to new image path in O3) but it is a good reference how to use it as it is very similar to Microos.

The goal of this ticket is to get familiar with Cockpit in ALP installing and testing its different modules and notice the limitations or what is possible to do at this state due to it is a transactional update system and integration is on-going.

Acceptance criteria¶

AC1: Exploratory testing of Cockpit in ALP
AC2: Check for @jlausuch about a more detailed manual he is writing for testing Cockpit (during the week 19th-23rd September).
AC3: Create additional tickets for testing for September prototype based on your testing and Jose's guide.

• Attached sample script with content of images qcow2 for ignition and combustion, but we don't need to create them, we just need to use them for this task (use the qcow2 from dev group).
