Installation

Fedora and many derivative distributions have cockpit(1) preinstalled and running by default. For other Linux distributions, a cockpit package may be available.

Official plugins are available in separate packages, such as cockpit-machines (an interface to libvirtd(8)) and cockpit-podman (an interface to podman(1)).

Setup

Start and enable cockpit.socket.

Encryption

By default, cockpit(1) uses a self-signed SSL/TLS certificate. This can be replaced with a valid one.

The last file with a .cert or .crt extension (in alphabetical order) in /etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d will be used. Try /usr/libexec/cockpit-certificate-ensure --check to verify that the correct certificate will be detected.
