Hi @HuangShumin,

you can run

BUILD_FOR_COCKPIT=true make build

to build pcs-web-ui for cockpit. It creates build/ directory and you need to copy it to cockpit plugin directory by e.g.:

cp -r build/. /usr/share/cockpit/ha-cluster

Keep in mind that pcs-web-ui in cockpit requires pcsd running locally.

Nexus is not required.

No luck. After I built for cockpit in RHEL8.8 and copied to /usr/share/cockpit/ha-cluster, I saw nothing in the ha-cluster menu of cockpit page.

Hi @HuangShumin,

unix socket communication support in pcsd is required to be possible to run pcs-web-ui from cockpit. This feature appeared first time in pcs version 0.11.4. In RHEL8, there is pcs based on pcs-0.10 branch, see https://github.com/ClusterLabs/pcs/blob/main/README.md#pcs-versions

[HuangShumin]

Clear. Thank you for this information

Hi @HuangShumin,

sorry for the delay, I was sick.

Unfortunately, a nexus proxy has indeed slipped into package-lock.json. This is now fixed in the branch main with a commit https://github.com/ClusterLabs/pcs-web-ui/commit/b3203ed73cc91c27236927e5c38d87f891157fb8.
