It's now possible to run build.js from any directory. Demonstrate that by removing the `cd` that we've been depending on to make it work. Use the new `-o` option to direct the output to the srcdir instead. That means that this commit changes absolutely nothing, but it's still important: it demonstrates that the out-of-srcdir invocation works (and tests that it will continue to work). In the future we hope to remove 'dist/' from the tarballs, which means that it will be a purely built artifact, changing the logic of which directory it belongs in. At that point we can simply drop the '-o' option and let it land in the default location, the `builddir`. |

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.

Contributors
To quickly make code contributions we have a HACKING.md that outlines the devel environment and running tests. For more in-depth we have a developer documentation that links to more resources about setting up the local environment, how designs are proposed, creating and running tests, and our overall contribution process.
Translations are managed in Weblate.
