openITCOCKPIT version 5.7.0 has been released! Packed with new features, such as grouping for Statuspages, a new host dependency tree, a new WebSocket backend, security updates and much more.

Security fixes

We discovered and fixed several security vulnerabilities. An attacker was able to assign it’s account to another user group which could grant themselves elevated privileges. This affected the Master System and the Satellite Systems. In addition, we improved our Cookie handling. openITCOCKPIT will not enforce SameSite=Lax for cookies.

Dropped Support for Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12 and PHP 8.1

As mentioned in our last blog post we had to drop support for Ubuntu Jammy 22.04, Debian Bookworm 12 and PHP 8.1 in this release. This step is necessary as PHP 8.1 does not get security updates for more than 8 months by the time of writing this blog post. Unfortunately, this means that continuing to support Ubuntu 22.04 until its end of life in April 2027 would hold back the development of openITCOCKPIT for all users.

Please see our official upgrade instructions if you are still using an older release.

• Update Ubuntu Jammy (22.04) to Ubuntu Noble (24.04)
• Upgrade from Debian Bookworm (12) to Debian Trixie (13)

Please notice: Changing the PHP version through a third-party repository is not supported and will break the system.

In case you are using Enterprise Linux (RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux), please see our instructions:

• Updating PHP (Enterprise Linux only)

As mentioned in our previous blog post, we are dropping support for Ubuntu Jammy, Debian Bookworm and PHP 8.1 with the release of openITCOCKPIT 5.7.0. This means that openITCOCKPIT 5.7.0 will not be available for Ubuntu Jammy, Debian Bookworm and PHP 8.1 users. We recommend upgrading to Ubuntu Noble (24.04) or Debian Trixie (13) to continue receiving updates and support for openITCOCKPIT.

The official openITCOCKPIT iOS App has been released and is now available for download in the App Store. Please note that the app is currently only available for iOS. The Android version will be released soon. Download on the Apple App Store.

openITCOCKPIT version 5.6.1 has been released! This minor release includes new API endpoints required for the new openITCOCKPIT Mobile App.

openITCOCKPIT App? Yes, we are currently working on a native openITCOCKPIT App, which will be available for iOS and Android. Starting with iOS, the app is currently in the TestFlight beta phase and will be available for download in the App Store soon.

The Android version will follow, but our main focus is currently on the iOS version.

openITCOCKPIT version 5.6.0 has been released! Packed with new features, such as support for Proxmox VE, a new parent-child relationship tree, support for the latest Linux distributions, security updates and much more.

Import Module: Proxmox VE

The Import Module now supports Proxmox VE as a data source. This allows you to easily import all virtual machines and LXC containers from Proxmox VE into openITCOCKPIT for monitoring. openITCOCKPIT will automatically create services for all VMs and containers to keep an eye on CPU, memory, disk usage (LXC only), network traffic and more. No modifications or agents are required as openITCOCKPIT will use the Proxmox API to query all the necessary data.

In addition, hosts that are imported from Proxmox, will have a new Tab in the host details view named Proxmox VE. This tab will provide an overview of the VM or container and provides access to actions such as start, stop, restart. It is also possible to create or rollback snapshots, as well as to open the Proxmox VE web interface directly from openITCOCKPIT.

Please see the docs for more details: https://docs.openitcockpit.io/en/configuration/import-module/#proxmox-ve
