Use 45Drives Cockpit plugins

[Eelviny]

Just thought I'd drop an idea that came to me this morning. I originally submitted #145 and it's been working well, but 45Drives has very much stopped development on it and has been working on a replacement ZFS plugin. They also have a few others. My feature request is to investigate and possibly add the following Cockpit plugins to ucore:

• https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-zfs
• https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-scheduler
• https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-navigator
• https://github.com/45Drives/cockpit-file-sharing

I've not tried any of them out myself yet and I might find time later to implement it but can't currently, so if someone gets to it before me, that would be great. Before I do anything, would love some thoughts on whether they would be a good addition!

First step is to investigate maturity - from what I see, cockpit-zfs is still in a development state and may not be ready for prime time. cockpit-scheduler has no documentation so not sure.

they'd definitely make for a great addition. Regarding cockpit-zfs, I had some mixed results though. When I was able to install it, it worked great (and much better than the previous cockpit-zfs-manager), but on a fully updated Fedora system, some packages were too new for it to work out of the box, but after some manual intervention, it worked perfectly.

The idea is interesting, but definitely investigate maturity, please.

And ideally, create a custom build of uCore where you can test these out and know if they feel like a solid improvement.

I may drop them into my custom build to try out... there's definitely some issues with the current cockpit zfs plugin.
