Installation Manually using JumpScale Cuisine

On a machine with JumpScale preinstalled, as documented here, open the JumpScale interactive shell:

js

And issue the following two commands to get your Cockpit up and running locally in development mode:

cuisine = j.tools.cuisine.local
cuisine.solutions.cockpit.install_all_in_one(start={True|False}, branch='8.1.1', reset={True|False}, ip='localhost|{ip-address}')

With the parameters:

• start (True|False) you control wether the Cockpit will start automatically once installed
• branch you specify the Git repository branch you want to install from
• reset (True|False) you control wether also the portal needs to be reinstalled
• ip ('localhost'|{ip-address}) you set the IP address on which the REST API will be available for remote interactions; if you specify localhost the REST API will only be available locally

Alternatively you can also get your Cockpit up and running in development mode, locally or on a remote machine by using an executor:

executor = j.tools.executor.getSSHBased(addr='localhost|{ip-address}', port={port-number}, login='{username}', passwd=None|'{password}', debug={True|False}, allow_agent=True, look_for_keys=True, timeout=5, usecache=True, passphrase=None, key_filename=None)
cuisine = j.tools.cuisine.get(executor)
cuisine.solutions.cockpit.install_all_in_one(start=True, branch='8.1.1', reset=True, ip='localhost}|{ip-address}')

As a result you'll have your Cockpit running in development mode, and listing to following ports:

• Port 82, for the Cockpit Portal
• Port 5000, for the Cockpit REST API

If you installed the Cockpit on a G8 hosted virtual machine, you will want to configure port forwards to make it available for remote interactions.
