Another way to manage your Linux server, without the terminal

If the terminal ever felt overwhelming or your system froze during a long session (like mine just did), let me introduce you to Cockpit.

It’s a browser-based dashboard for Linux.

With it, you can:

  • Monitor CPU, RAM, disk usage

  • Start/stop services

  • Manage users and updates

  • Even access the terminal (if you still want to)

Just open your browser and go to https://your-server-ip:9090. Login with your Linux username, and you're in!

Works well on RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc. And it’s perfect for home labs or remote server admins.

Sometimes, the best fix is a backup way to manage things. That’s what Cockpit gave me.

Have you used it before?

📌Stay tuned for a guide on how to launch Cockpit from the terminal.
