About Cockpit
Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers, intended for everyone, especially those who are new to Linux, familiar and expert admins. Thanks to Cockpit intentionally using system APIs and commands, a whole team of admins can manage a system in the way they prefer, including the command line and utilities right alongside Cockpit. See your server in a web browser and perform system tasks with a mouse. It’s easy to start containers, administer storage, configure networks, and inspect logs. Basically, you can think of Cockpit like a graphical “desktop interface”, but for individual servers. Have a favorite app or command-line tool that you use on your servers? Keep using the command line, Ansible, and your other favorite tools and add Cockpit to the mix with no issues. Cockpit uses the same system tooling you would use from the command line. You can switch back and forth between Cockpit and whatever else you like.
