Want to avoid the command line on your Linux machine? Cockpit now has a sophisticated graphical interface for Ubuntu Server.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery.

Cockpit provides a web-based graphical interface for managing Ubuntu Server, eliminating the need for command-line administration. The installation process involves installing the cockpit package, enabling the service, configuring firewall access on port 9090, and optionally adding Podman support for container management. Users need sudo privileges to access administrative functions, and the interface can be extended with additional plugins for features like file sharing.
