Cockpit plugin - SSH Keys

TODO Rename required, there is already SSH key management in Cockpit, see Accounts > select your user > Authorized public SSH keys.

This Cockpit plugin allows you to search GitHub users and authorize their public SSH keys with just one click.

In the future, I would like to support searching in FAS as well, but it requires authorization for any kind of request, so I don't know how.

Project structure

At least before I do some cleanup, the project is a bit messy:

• manifest.json - Entrypoint for Cockpit
• core.cljs - The main Clojurescript code
• package.json - Javascript dependencies
• shadow-cljs.edn - Defines targets for npx commands, see below

Development

Install Javascript dependencies

npm install

Compile CSS files from Sass

make css

Build and see changes in your browser

npx shadow-cljs watch app
# or
npx shadow-cljs compile app

You might want REPL

npx shadow-cljs browser-repl

Building for Cockpit

The build results from previous commands work as standalone website but not as a Cockpit plugin. For that, we need to do:

npx shadow-cljs release app

Adding this into Cockpit is easy

ln -s ~/git/cockpit-ssh-keys ~/.local/share/cockpit/cockpit-ssh-keys

Now you should be able to see http://127.0.0.1:9090/cockpit-ssh-keys/ssh-keys

This process is of course meant only for developers. Once this plugin is finished, it will be packaged as an RPM and installable via Cockpit's Application page.
