Cockpit is a server administration dashboard that allows you to view the status of your server in real time. It provides information on CPU load, filesystem statistics, processes, and further information. One of Cockpit’s benefits is that it will not consume any server resources when you’re not logged in to the control panel—the service only starts when you browse to the control panel.
You can perform server administration tasks with Cockpit, such as managing users and troubleshooting network issues. You can also access a terminal from a browser on your computer or phone.
In this tutorial, you will deploy a Cockpit server administration dashboard on a Ubuntu 22.04 server.
