The easy-to-use, integrated, glanceable, and open web-based interface for your servers

Introducing Cockpit

Cockpit is a web-based graphical interface for servers, intended for everyone, especially those who are:

new to Linux (including Windows admins)
familiar with Linux and want an easy, graphical way to administer servers
expert admins who mainly use other tools but want an overview on individual systems

Thanks to Cockpit intentionally using system APIs and commands, a whole team of admins can manage a system in the way they prefer, including the command line and utilities right alongside Cockpit.

Cockpit

Simple to use

Cockpit makes Linux discoverable. You don’t have to remember commands at a command-line.

See your server in a web browser and perform system tasks with a mouse. It’s easy to start containers, administer storage, configure networks, and inspect logs. Basically, you can think of Cockpit like a graphical “desktop interface”, but for individual servers.

Compatible with your existing workflows

Have a favorite app or command line tool that you use on your servers? Keep using the command line, Ansible, and your other favorite tools and add Cockpit to the mix with no issues.

Cockpit uses the same system tooling you would use from the command line. You can switch back and forth between Cockpit and whatever else you like. Cockpit even has a built-in terminal, which is useful when you connect from a non-Linux device.

Integrated

Cockpit uses APIs that already exist on the system. It doesn’t reinvent subsystems or add a layer of its own tooling.

By default, Cockpit uses your system’s normal user logins and privileges. Network-wide logins are also supported through single-sign-on and other authentication techniques.

Cockpit itself doesn’t eat resources or even run in the background when you’re not using it. It runs on demand, thanks to systemd socket activation.

Extendable

Using Cockpit

Here’s a subset of tasks you can perform on each host running Cockpit:

Inspect and change network settings
Configure a firewall
Manage storage (including RAID and LUKS partitions)
Create and manage virtual machines
Download and run containers
Browse and search system logs
Inspect a system’s hardware
Upgrade software
Keep tabs on performance
Manage user accounts
Inspect and interact with systemd-based services
Use a terminal on a remote server in your local web browser
Switch between multiple Cockpit servers
Extend Cockpit’s functionality by installing a growing list of apps and add-ons
Write your own custom modules to make Cockpit do anything you want

Also troubleshoot and fix pesky problems with ease:

Diagnose network issues
Spot and react to misbehaving virtual machines
Examine SELinux logs and fix common violations in a click
Inspect detailed metrics that correlate CPU load, memory usage, network activity, and storage performance with the system’s journal

More features appear in Cockpit every release.

Designed & tested

Cockpit’s design keeps your goals in mind. We test Cockpit with usability studies to make it work the way you’d expect and adjust accordingly. As a result, Cockpit gets easier to use all the time.
