NAME

6       cockpit-desktop - Cockpit Desktop integration
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cockpit-desktop {URLPATH}
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The cockpit-desktop program provides secure access to Cockpit pages in
13       an already running desktop session. It starts a web server (cockpit-ws)
14       and a web browser in an isolated network namespace, and a cockpit-
15       bridge(8) in the running user session.
16
17       This avoids having to log into Cockpit, and having to enable
18       cockpit.socket system-wide. The network isolation ensures that no other
19       user, and not even other processes in the user's session, can access
20       this local web server.
21
22       URLPATH is the Cockpit page to open, i. e. the path component of
23       Cockpit URLs. It is highly recommended to only open a particular page
24       frame[1], not the entire Cockpit navigation and menu. For example, the
25       path /cockpit/@localhost/storage/index.html will open the Storage page.
26       It is also possible to give abbreviated forms of urls, such as
27       "storage" or "network/firewall".
28

ENVIRONMENT

30       The BROWSER environment variable specifies the browser command (and
31       possibly options) that will be used to open the requested Cockpit page.
32       If not set, cockpit-desktop attempts to use an internal minimalistic
33       WebKit browser, and failing that, will attempt to detect some
34       reasonable alternatives.
