Do you use any web ui’s for your Linux server? I’m comfortable managing my server using the command line, but I also want a graphical interface that shows an overview of what is running on the server, the way the resources are being used what containers are running and so on. Also file download uploads would be great to have.
What do you recommend which is light and resources and is suitable for less powerful servers with low ram?
So far these are the more interstating tools I’ve found: (they vary in functionality their provide)
CasaOS Cockpit SartOS Orb Kasm
I tried to install Cockpit on Debian, and it just downloaded an entire Linux Desktop? Really weird, had the configs and open port all but still the UI was not showing.
Might give it another try but would prefer something less resource heavy
“Hey you wanted NetworkManager, right? We’ve decided everyone wants NetworkManager.”
Last time I didn’t use --no-install-recommends
It makes sense in a lot of cases, just not all of them.
Huh, it’s got to be the maintainers who make that list, right? Not the developers?
Either way, that must be an awkward philosophical snarl. “Oh I see we’re running Gnome again.”
Have a look at Netdata, Alerta and Prometheus.
Of all the things you mentioned Cockpit is the only sane one.
I want to view multiple endpoints at once though.
They had that feature but they discontinued it.
Cockpit can still.connect to multiple machines: https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/feature-machines
Where did you see that they discontinued it? Or do you mean netdata, who hid this behind a paywall?
It can connect singly. It used to have the ability to stack graphs and details of multiple machines at a time. Not just a dropdown that switches you fully.
Here’s the feature introduction: Multi-Server Dashboard
The removal announcement was buried in the release notes which is why I say it was quietly discontinued, but I sure spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to enable it before finding that.
I’ll try to find it later once I’m not on mobile, but you can tell from the above link that nothing like that exists in Cockpit today.
I’m headless and mostly use containers, so I run lazy docker

What I meant is that how could you use Lemmy without a head, but thanks anyway.
ssh?
