      I just installed Fedora 26 Minimal (current Alpha) and it told me to go to https://ip:9090 to manage.

      With Fedora 25 Minimal, Cockpit was not included.

        Of all things, that's pretty surprising to be put into Minimal.

          I nuked my install and did it again to make sure that I installed Minimal too.

            I'm not happy that that is included. There are a lot of things that can be argued as being applicable to minimal installations, but Cockpit?

              I've been using virt-builder to build images. Disk is only 6GB. 99% sure cockpit isn't installed.

                All I know is I downloaded the net image and chose the minimal install.

                Maybe it is buggy. It is alpha.

                  Ya the virt-builder images are GPG signed and prebuilt for KVM. They have the QEMU guest agent installed and will generate a random root password each time you create a disk. I haven't grabbed a server image from the Fedora site in a while.

                    Do you remember where you found that guest image? I'd like to spin some up.

                      After playing with my install more, I do not think it installed minimal even though I selected it to do so.

                      because nano and rsync were already installed.

                        Maybe it is as simple as the minimal selector is broken?

                            It pulls them in automatically. Just run virt-builder fedora-25 and add whatever options after. I usually just do something like this:

                            virt-builder fedora-25 --format qcow2 --hostname changeme --run-command 'useradd ansible && echo "ansible     ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD:ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/ansible' --install '<package that I can't remember right now>' --selinux-relabel

                            Once it's done building I create the VM using that disk and let it spin up, and then shut it down. Then I run:

                            virt-sysprep -a template.qcow2 --ssh-inject ansible:file:/path/to/pub_key

                            Then I can just clone it and apply all of my policies with Ansible.

                              These are super minimal. Like to get Ansible to be able to control firewalld I have to add python-firewall and python3-firewall as dependencies.

                                Looked when I got home. The package I couldn't remember is python, libselinux-python, and qemu-guest-agent. The image also doesnt have tar or unzip installed.

                                I lied about the guest agent. It's not installed by default but the console is available through ttyS0 by default which is nice.

                                    The ansible user isn't in there yet until you spin up the VM so I have to inject it afterward. If I was just using root it would work.

                                    I logged into the console once and I did notice that but it doesn't seem to affect anything. I haven't used the console since then. I think it sets that to the default locale but it isn't there. I don't think it will cause any issues, but I could be wrong.

                                      not sure about unzip but tar is also not installed on the minimal install too.

                                        Yeah I tried Fedora 26 Beta (minimal install via netinst) and Cockpit is up and running by default.

                                        It's supposed to be like that by default according to these two sites:

                                        http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CockpitManagementConsole#Summary

                                        http://cockpit-project.org/running.html

                                        I think it's rather handy, and it seems easier to turn it off if it's not needed, than to turn it on if it is.

                                          @Tim_G yeah, I had no objection to it running in a minimal install, but it was surprising to see.

                                            I like it in non-DevOp scenarios. It's basically the same security profile as SSH, so no real concerns when SSH is also exposed.
