About Cockpit

Cockpit

Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers

Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for administering Linux servers, and it is meant for everyone from people new to Linux, including Windows admins, to expert admins who want an overview of individual systems. You open the server in a browser and perform tasks with a mouse, such as starting containers, managing storage, configuring networks and inspecting logs. Cockpit uses the APIs and commands that already exist on the system rather than adding its own tooling, so the command line and tools such as Ansible keep working alongside it. It uses the system's normal user logins and privileges by default, with single sign-on and other authentication methods also supported. It has a built-in terminal, and it runs on demand through systemd socket activation, so it does not consume resources when it is not in use. The project supports optional and third-party applications, and the listed tasks include managing firewalls, RAID and LUKS partitions, virtual machines, containers and system logs. The site lists version 368, released on 6 October 2026, and it has an FAQ, installation instructions and a contribution guide.
