Description Ravindra Patil 2019-04-25 21:10:24 UTC 
Description of the requirement :

It would be handy if cockpit-docker provides an easy way of launching a console inside of a running container. 

As Cockpit provides an easy method for gaining a console on a running VM or physical machine.  

Similarly, it would be handy if cockpit-docker can also provide an easy way of launching a console inside of a running container.  This will simplify quick entry into a container for short term troubleshooting from cockpit itself.


Technical Requirements:

Add a button to User Interface of the cockpit (cockpit-docker) that runs a terminal within the container (exec -it /bin/bash?).  The terminal would be similar to the existing HTML5 terminal on the host itself.

Expected Result :

Button to open a terminal within container 

Timeline:

Any version of RHEL 8
Comment 1 Martin Pitt 2019-04-26 07:00:22 UTC 
cockpit-docker has provided a Terminal into containers for a long time. However, cockpit-docker doesn't exist at all in RHEL 8, see bug 1602951.

We plan to introduce a podman UI (bug 1693125), which indeed does not have a terminal yet.

But can you please clarify your request?

cockpit-podman component exists now, reassigning.
