Cockpit is an interactive server admin interface. It is easy to use and very lightweight.
|
2016-09-09 16:23:02 +02:00
|
|
|
Cockpit interacts directly with the operating system from a real Linux session in a browser.

You can [install Cockpit](https://cockpit-project.org/running.html) on many Linux operating
|
2016-09-09 16:23:02 +02:00
|
|
|
systems including Debian, Fedora and RHEL.

Cockpit makes Linux discoverable, allowing sysadmins to easily perform tasks such as starting
|
|
|
|
containers, storage administration, network configuration, inspecting logs and so on.

|
Jumping between the terminal and the web tool is no problem. A service started via Cockpit
|
|
|
|
can be stopped via the terminal. Likewise, if an error occurs in the terminal, it can be seen
|
|
|
|
in the Cockpit journal interface.

|
You can also easily add other machines that have Cockpit installed and are accessible via SSH and jump
|
|
|
|
between these hosts.
