Hi,
I am not sure if that was intentional or not but to be sure, I'd like to bring up this dependency "issue":
We've tried to install minimal Fedora with KS where in %packages was just @core. This installed
fedora-release-server -> cockpit -> cockpit-docker -> docker(-io)
I understand why Cockpit is installed by default but I don't think docker should be part of such minimal install..
My proposal would be to change the dependency so that fedora-release-server
Requires: cockpit
docker-io
Requires: cockpit-docker
This would mean non-existent Containers page in Cockpit in minimal install which would magically appear when the user installs docker.
It is indeed up to the Fedora Server WG which features (and packages) Fedora Server has installed by default.
In Cockpit we will try and respect that, and indeed it is incorrect for Cockpit to be dragging in large features via dependencies.
A few notes:
It seems like docker is (becoming?) a staple feature of a modern server, much like sendmail would have been a decade ago.
Based on user feedback, the Containers page is the most used feature of Cockpit.
docker is only available on x86_64 ... ditto for cockpit-docker
Not true, docker is available and works on arm. there is also no reason why i686 can not be supported also.

Since the cockpit-0.41 release, we can remove cockpit-docker and the 'Containers' UI will disappear within Cockpit. Previously it was more tightly bound.
The cockpit-docker package has no dependencies other than docker and consists solely of a few resource files (javascript, html, etc.)
Cheers,
Stef
