Presentation
Cockpit project is an administration interface for operating systems based on the Linux kernel.
The list of supported systems is available at the official website of the project.
This tool allows you to fully administer your server via a web interface.
Quote from the Cockpit documentation :
Cockpit is a server manager that makes it easy to administer your Linux servers via a web browser. Jumping between the terminal and the web tool is not a problem. A service started via Cockpit can be stopped via the terminal. Also, if an error occurs in the terminal, it is displayed in the Cockpit log interface.
Cockpit is perfect for new system administrators, allowing them to easily perform simple tasks such as storage administration, log inspection, and starting and stopping services. You can monitor and administer multiple servers at the same time. Just add them with one click and your machines will take care of their peers.
