Cockpit is a web-based server manager that allows you to easily administer your Linux servers through a web browser. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Cockpit on EndeavourOS.
Before you start with the Cockpit installation, make sure you have the following:
Before starting with the Cockpit installation, it is important to update the EndeavourOS package repository. To do so, open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will download and install any updates available for your EndeavourOS system.
To install Cockpit, you need to run the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S cockpit
This command will install Cockpit and all its dependencies. During the installation process, you will be prompted to confirm the installation. Press "y" and "Enter" to proceed with the installation.
Once Cockpit is installed, you need to start and enable the service. To do so, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo systemctl start cockpit
sudo systemctl enable cockpit
The first command will start the Cockpit service, and the second command will enable it to start at boot time.
By default, Cockpit listens on port 9090. If you have firewall enabled on your server, you need to configure the firewall to allow traffic on this port. To do so, you can use the following commands:
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=9090/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Now that Cockpit is up and running, you can access it through your web browser. To do so, open your web browser and navigate to:
https://<server-ip>:9090/
Replace <server-ip> with the IP address of your server. You'll see a login page where you need to enter your server's administrator credentials to access the Cockpit web interface.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install and configure Cockpit on EndeavourOS. Now you can easily manage your server through a web-based interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
