Vollmer, Stef Walter
The Fedora Server Product will ship the Cockpit Project as available by
default, providing an approachable tool for system management.
== Detailed Description ==
Cockpit is a server manager that makes it easy to administer your GNU/Linux
servers via a web browser.
* Easy to use
Cockpit is perfect for new sysadmins, allowing them to easily perform simple
tasks such as storage administration, inspecting journals and starting and
stopping services.
* No interference
Jumping between the terminal and the web tool is no problem. A service started
via Cockpit can be stopped via the terminal. Likewise, if an error occurs in
the terminal, it can be seen in the Cockpit journal interface.
* Multi-server
You can monitor and administer several servers at the same time.
== Scope ==
Inclusion of Cockpit as part of the default (not necessarily minimal) install
set for Fedora Server
* Proposal owners:
** Support for a modular architecture
** Improved network management
* Other developers: N/A
* Release engineering: Inclusion of cockpit into comps.xml
* Policies and guidelines: N/A
Special Requests: Cockpit would like to request an additional 2-4 weeks on the
Fedora 21 schedule to ensure completion of the core functionality.
