The PackageKit UpdateDetail signal provides markdown in the `update_text` and uses remarkable to parse the markdown contents. Remarkable however has not been updated since 6 years, additionally it requires us to use `dangerouslySetInnerHTML` which can lead to XSS issues. The npm ecosystem has two other markdown alternatives `react-markdown` and a `markdown-to-jsx`. The latter has zero dependencies while `react-markdown` has eleven and requires additional plugins like `rehype-external-links` to add a rel/target to external links. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/gtk-doc/Transaction.html https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable/issues/438 |

A sysadmin login session in a web browser
What is Cockpit?
Cockpit is an interactive server admin interface. It is easy to use and very lightweight. Cockpit interacts directly with the operating system from a real Linux session in a browser.
Cockpit makes Linux discoverable, allowing sysadmins to easily perform tasks such as starting containers, storage administration, network configuration, inspecting logs and so on.
Jumping between the terminal and the web tool is no problem. A service started via Cockpit can be stopped via the terminal. Likewise, if an error occurs in the terminal, it can be seen in the Cockpit journal interface.
You can also easily add other machines that have Cockpit installed and are accessible via SSH and jump between these hosts.
Installation
Note
An installation guide can be found at cockpit-project.org/running.html. Some systems may need extra work, read about it in our FAQ
Cockpit is available in numerous Linux distributions and is usually packaged as cockpit.
Flatpak 'Cockpit Client'
We also provide a Flatpak app called Cockpit Client which includes SSH login support to Linux servers.
