HaLOS-specific build of Cockpit's NetworkManager module with comprehensive WiFi support.

This package provides a replacement for the upstream cockpit-networkmanager package with WiFi configuration features under development for HaLOS (Hat Labs Operating System).

Features (in development):

• WiFi network scanning and connection management
• WPA2/WPA3 Personal authentication
• Access Point (hotspot) mode configuration
• Simultaneous AP + Client mode support

Status: Development infrastructure (Issue #1) - Feature implementation in progress

• Source: Built from hatlabs/cockpit (wifi branch)
• Replaces: cockpit-networkmanager (official package)
• Architecture: all (platform-independent JavaScript/HTML/CSS)
• Dependencies: cockpit (>= 276), network-manager (>= 1.20)

• Docker Desktop or Docker Engine
• Git
• SSH access to test device (default: halos.local)

# 1. Build Docker image (first time only)
./run docker-build

# 2. Build package
./run build

# 3. Deploy to test device
./run deploy

# 4. Or do both in one step
./run test-cycle

The typical development workflow:

# Edit code in hatlabs/cockpit fork (wifi branch)
cd ../cockpit/pkg/networkmanager
# ... make changes to wifi.jsx, wifi-dialogs.jsx, etc. ...
git commit -m "feat(wifi): add network scanning"
git push origin wifi

# Build and deploy
cd ../../cockpit-networkmanager-halos
./run build      # Fetches latest from wifi branch, builds .deb
./run deploy     # Deploys to halos.local, restarts Cockpit

# Test at https://halos.local:9090

Target iteration time: < 5 minutes (build + deploy)

Run ./run help for full command list:

• ./run build - Build Debian package in Docker container
• ./run deploy - Deploy package to test device
• ./run test-cycle - Full build + deploy cycle
• ./run docker-build - Build Docker image
• ./run clean - Remove build artifacts

Environment variables for deployment:

• TEST_HOST - Test device hostname (default: halos.local)
• TEST_USER - Test device username (default: mairas)

Example:

TEST_HOST=192.168.1.100 TEST_USER=pi ./run deploy
