The /etc/issue file in Fedora Server should contain the Cockpit URL. This makes it easy for people who use Fedora Server in a VM or a server to find the URL needed.
This is possible like this in /etc/issue https://\4:9090
Some concerns: 1) What happens if there are multiple IP addresses? Which one gets displayed on the screen? 2) What about systems for which IPv6 is the default? Or IPv4 is not configured at all?
Getty supports both \4 and \6. It uses the first address (as listed in ip addrs or ifconfig ... that is up, not loopback and running). But it can be told to print the first address from a specific interface. However in my opinion, this is not about getting it perfect, but getting it to work in most cases. There's no possible way to be perfect here. For example in a multi-host case, it's impossible to know which network the person viewing the screen may be able to access the system on. In most cases where this is useful, the system has not yet been configured and there is exactly one DHCP address that would be displayed.
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 23-alpha by Fedora user sgallagh using the blocker tracking app because: We want to get this functionality into the Alpha release in order to maximize testing. It's highly useful to users of the Fedora Server Edition.
Stephen, are you familiar enough with fedora-release to make the changes there? I've taken a look and the spec file + git repo seem quite complex.
(In reply to Stef Walter from comment #5) > Stephen, are you familiar enough with fedora-release to make the changes > there? I've taken a look and the spec file + git repo seem quite complex. Yes, I've spent numerous hours in that spec file. I'll handle that, once BZ #1239090 lands.
Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. This bug was accepted as Alpha Freeze Exception - We would consider a fix for this during the freeze period for Alpha. [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-08-03/

Removing AcceptedFreezeException. This should be re-evaluated by the blocker review process, since the previous Exception was only granted for Alpha.

Discussed at 2015-09-10 freeze exception review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2015-09-10/f23-blocker-review.2015-09-10-16.00.log.txt . Accepted as a freeze exception for the same reasoning we accepted it for Alpha - this is something visible that can't be fixed post-release, and the fix would be relatively safe.
fedora-release-23-0.17 has been pushed to the Fedora 23 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
