About Cockpit
Cockpit is a web console that lets you manage your Linux servers from a browser. It gives you a clean, intuitive interface for common admin tasks like starting services, inspecting logs, and configuring storage. You can monitor system performance, manage user accounts, and even troubleshoot network issues without touching the command line.
Cockpit integrates with systemd, NetworkManager, and other core Linux components. It supports Podman containers, virtual machines via libvirt, and offers a terminal for direct shell access. The tool works across major distributions including RHEL, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu. Its modular architecture lets you add plugins for Kubernetes, 389 Directory Server, and more.
It is open source under the LGPL license and completely free. Cockpit is ideal for sysadmins who prefer a graphical interface for routine tasks or for teams managing multiple servers. The project is backed by Red Hat and has a large community contributing plugins and translations.
