Cockpit Project

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • cockpit-podman

    Cockpit UI for podman containers

  • Netdata

    The open-source observability platform everyone needs

  • Is it like minimalist version of Netdata[1]? Netdata doesn't require fiddling for the most part too, Unless we need to customize alarms, logging etc. It's discovery of services and visualizations for monitoring are excellent.

    My only complaint on Netdata is that its resource heavy(especially the Go plugins) and so they're not fit for resource-constrained systems like Raspberry Pi; I wonder whether Cockpit is a good replacement there.

  • jc

    CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools, file-types, and common strings to JSON, YAML, or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts.

  • I wanted to parse INI files a few weeks back and briefly looked at Augeas... the augtool syntax was a little too nonsensical or verbose for me. Felt like I had to be an expert with the entire tool even though all I wanted was 3% of its functionality.

    I looked a little harder and then found jc[1] which made parsing the ini file easy, and since I didn't need full CRUD support I threw my hands up and used that instead. I _would_ like to find a fast and easy way to convert json/yaml to simple INI file syntax at the command line, or do idempotent modifications to the INI files without writing a command where 99% of it is describing to jq or awk what an INI file looks like.
