Quick demo of Cockpit web-based management

Cockpit is a user-friendly web-based interface for administering servers. It allows monitoring system resources and adjusting configuration with ease.

Notes

• RHEL 7 or greater, no RHEL 6 or below
• Cockpit does not need special infrastructure or configuration. Once installed, it is ready to use
• When not in use, Cockpit uses no memory or CPU on the server
• Cockpit stores no data or policy. People keep their system-wide permissions and use the system credentials

Installation & Config

      # yum install -y cockpit 		(also installs -bridge, -system, -ws)
      # systemctl enable cockpit.socket
      # firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service cockpit
      # firewall-cmd --reload
      # systemctl start cockpit
