What is Cockpit
Cockpit is a free open source server management project by Redhat. The main goal of the project is to offer Linux administrators the ability to quickly and efficiently manage their servers in an easy and fast way. You can handle containers, add multiple servers to one dashboard (dashboard), manage user accounts, configure network settings.
It is possible to use the Cockpit on other Linux server distributions as well, such as Debian, Ubuntu, and even Arch Linux servers!
