Is missing cockpit-docker no longer in the 20.04 repository?

Question

I installed Ubuntu server 20.04 into a vm, to see how if I want upgrade my 18.04. I use cockpit for ease of use on my 18.04. Anyways the cockpit-docker deb is missing from the repository. Why is this? Was this an over site or is their some other reason for it not being part of 20.04?

Solution 1

Though they do not build cockpit-docker for Ubuntu 20.04 or later anymore, you can still install older versions according to this.

I downloaded cockpit-docker_215-1~ubuntu19.10.1_all.deb and installed manually. It seems to be working now.

Solution 2

If you really want to make a difference; I forked the thing and pulled it apart as a plugin.
You can find it on Github

Solution 3

cockpit-docker is replaced by cockpit-podman

If sudo apt install cockpit-podman fails then [ Upvote the Official Bug ]

Workaround:

wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cockpit/215-1~ubuntu19.10.1/+build/18889196/+files/cockpit-docker_215-1~ubuntu19.10.1_all.deb
sudo gdebi cockpit-docker_215-1\~ubuntu19.10.1_all.deb
rm cockpit-docker_215-1\~ubuntu19.10.1_all.deb

Working for me:

cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-215.html It appears Cockpit Project is deprecating cockpit-docker in favor of cockpit-podman. Given that I'm not seeing cockpit-podman in the Focal repos either (or for that matter podman itself) we may well be out of luck permanently.
