How do I use Cockpit?

Apps 113 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Cockpit is ready". The page refreshes itself.
  3. Open the link in the Panel address row. Enter the details from the Login and Password rows.

Admin access

Click the Limited access button at the top and type the same password. After that you can start and stop services and install updates.

What you can do

  • Services: watch and manage services.
  • Logs: read the system logs.
  • Terminal: run commands from your browser.
  • Software updates: install operating system updates.
  • Storage: see your disks.
  • Metrics and history: CPU, memory and disk use.

Good to know

Signing in as root is disabled in Cockpit, so use the yonetici user. Only 80, 443 and 22 for SSH are open to the outside.

No server yet? Order a server with Cockpit installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
