@fateknollogee woah wtf... when did they implement that?!?! That's huge!
According to the blog post, looks like Feb. 7th.
I need to pay more attention (or subscribe) to the Cockpit blog. I swear, every update, they're always adding some new cool feature!
Check out the "improved LVM volume resizing". The shrink operation now includes auto-unmount. -
@fateknollogee
Can you specify Ethernet and disk drivers ? -

@fateknollogee
Can you specify Ethernet and disk drivers ?Doesn't look like you can.
The file path of the storage for the vm only uses the default location, I don't see a way to change this. -
I see, I wonder what it defaults too then. Anyway it is good progress, hopefully in the future this will get added.
-
@emad-r It defaults to /var/lib/libvirt/images/xxxx.qcow2
-
Can i trouble you for to do this, and paste the contents:
virsh dumpxml GuestID > guest.xml
and provide us the xml ? Since it seem you have this installed.

The vm's I have do not use the the /var/lib... default location.
Do you still want the xml? -
yes please

Not played with this for a long time. Might be time to get it installed again.

<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'> <target dev='macvtap1'/> <model type='virtio'/> <alias name='net0'/>Nice, they are using the correct drivers from the start. All VirtIO paravirtual drivers, no emulated crap like e1000.
That means for windows OS you need to configure the VirtIO drivers prior, but this is much better for performance

Yup but not latest version so there are missing features,
yum -y update
yum install cockpit
yum install cockpit-machines # Optional for KVM Managing

It's the same on Fedora.
If you want the "full-blown, everything" cockpit, you have to update & install cockpit.You can also install the optional features:
