Cockpit

Web-based graphical interface for administering Linux servers, through a browser on the server's own port.

Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers that an administrator opens in a browser to manage a Linux server. It works through the system’s own tools, so the command line remains usable beside it.

The running guide installs it from distribution packages and enables the cockpit.socket unit.

Worth knowing

Cockpit administers the server as a whole. Its pages describe no web server or website management.
