I wanted a GUI to manage some of my tedious tasks on Raspbian. In the old days, we used webmin. So I got Cockpit installed through APT. Works fine. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a mechanism to install the other applications (modules?). I am not familiar with yarn and that build environment, but after a few hours of working with this and ChatGPT, the number of code changes I had to make to get something like file-sharing (from GIT) to work is not worthwhile. That being said, I wonder if it would make sense to retool Cockpit so you can simply have a uniform way to install other modules. Have these coded in a way that makes them portable in this manner? It could be I am missing something, but it seems to me a simple package/app manager under this would be very useful. |

Heya! It sounds like this is just about installing plugins to Cockpit. If you want to have the very latest commits it does involve work for sure, but for stable releases we do already have something called Cockpit Applications. From there you should be able to install every plugin that makes itself available through AppStream. I'm not sure how Debian and Rasbian handles AppStream but you can always install plugins manually with apt |
