Question from a Cockpit PO: if you were to choose one feature to add to the project what that feature would be?
I've found that Cockpit Machines is really unreliable on Debian and it's nothing really to do with Cockpit - it's things like dbus settings that break Cockpit.
eg, having to add this to make it reliable on my Debian Trixie install:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
<busconfig>
<limit name="max_match_rules_per_connection">4096</limit>
</busconfig>
It would be fantastic if Cockpit could spot known issues like this and warn the user/administrator.2. Make it work on Ubuntu seamlessly
(eg. fix these kind of issues - https://cockpit-project.org/faq.html#error-message-about-bei...)
3. Have it work behind a web server way more easily. This should be a straightforward configuration option error installing.
