Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly.

Here are the release notes from Cockpit 357, cockpit-files 37, cockpit-machines 350 and cockpit-podman 123:

To help with accessibility and user-specific items in your browser context menu we now follow the behavior seen in Firefox: holding the Shift key while right-clicking will skip our own context menu and instead follow the default behavior of your browser. Note that while Cockpit Files uses the Cockpit context menu it did not receive this update before the release, but will get it for the for next one.

Machines: Support for kernel boot arguments when creating VMs

Cockpit now supports the --extra-args option of virt-install. This allows you to pass arguments to the kernel when the installer is booted during the creation of a new virtual machine. Installers like Anaconda and Agama can be controlled in various ways via these arguments.

Thanks to Nykseli for this contribution!

Podman: Show description, version and documentation image labels

The image details tab now shows a select set of labels from the OpenContainers Annotations specification.
