Wok is a cherrypy-based web framework with HTML5 support originated from Kimchi. It can be extended by plugins which expose functionality through REST APIs.
Examples of such plugins are Kimchi (Virtualization Management); Ginger Base (Basic host management) and; Ginger (System Administration).
Wok runs through wokd daemon.
Wok and its plugins can run in any web browser that supports HTML5. The Kimchi community (responsible for Wok project) makes an effort to test it with the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox browsers, but the following list can be used as reference to browser support.
- Internet Explorer: Current version
- Chrome: Current version
- Firefox: Current version
- Safari: Current version
- Opera: Current version
- Safari iOS: Current version
- Android Browser Current version
Wok might run on any GNU/Linux distribution that meets the conditions described on the 'Getting Started' section below.
The Kimchi community (responsible for Wok project) makes an effort to test it with the latest versions of Fedora, openSUSE, and Ubuntu.
