Introduction

Cockpit is an easy-to-use, integrated, easy-to-navigate, and open web-based server interface.

• System log information viewing
• System storage information viewing
• Dashboard
• System configuration and basic system operations
• Docker container monitoring
• System network monitoring
• K8s cluster management (I haven't tested it)
• Web command-line terminal
• ......

In short, it's simply powerful.

Installation

I am using CentOS 7 here. In addition, Cockpit also supports many other Linux distributions.

Screenshot from the official website:

sudo yum install -y cockpit cockpit-docker cockpit-machines cockpit-dashboard cockpit-storaged cockpit-packagekit
sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=cockpit
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

You can also install other modules to extend Cockpit's functionality (yum install -y 模块名).

You can then access port 9090 through a browser.

The username and password are those of the Linux server. Log in to enter the home page.
