How to use Graphql in cockpit

[praveenkumarsomu]

I've gone through the link https://github.com/agentejo/CockpitQL I'm not sure where to place the GraphQL folder and what to modify in my cockpit project.

Hello Praveen! Since Cockpit 0.9.1, there is an undocumented - I guess highly experimental - CLI command called install/addon which you can use as follows:

./cp install/addon --name CockpitQL

In case you're working with an older version of Cockpit you can still add it manually. Download the repository and add it as a subfolder to your /addons directory. Either way, your final tree should look as follows:

fedeTibaldo@my-pc:/var/www/cockpit.com/public_html$ tree -d -L 2 -n
.
├── addons
│   └── CockpitQL
...

I used the CLI command, following the install instructions.

However, the package cannot be downloaded:

Installing addon <CockpitQL>...
Couldn't download https://github.com/agentejo/CockpitQL/archive/master.zip!

That's strange.

I was able to reproduce it only by switching off my internet connection. If the problem were user privilege, it would fail way earlier, yielding a Couldn't create tmp folder /path/to/cockpit/folder/storage/tmp/CockpitQL error. No other reasons come to my mind at the moment.

I'd advise you to follow the manual installation then.

Thanks!

Maybe is there an incompatibility of the requirements of this CLI command with my shared hosting features.

Indeed I downloaded the archive manually and extracted it to the addons folder, so that the path to CockpitQL is /addons/CockpitQL/.

It's working fine that way
