How to Install Cockpit Web Console on Ubuntu 22.04
|
||
======
|
||
In this guide, we examine how to install Cockpit on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) step-by-step.
|
||
|
||
Cockpit is a free and opensource web-based graphical server management tool that allows administrators and Linux users to easily manage and configure their Linux servers/PCs from a browser. It targets new Linux users or those who want an easy way to manage their servers on a graphical interface without the hassle of working on the command-line.
|
||
|
||
Cockpit is easy to install and simple to use. At a glance, it allows you to perform the following tasks.
|
||
|
||
* Keep tabs of system metrics and performance
|
||
* Create and manage users
|
||
* Browse and search system logs
|
||
* Inspect and interact with systemd-based services
|
||
* Access the terminal and run commands
|
||
* Inspect system’s hardware
|
||
* Create and manage virtual machines
|
||
* Upgrade software packages to their latest versions
|
||
* Configure Firewall & and many more.
|
||
|
||
### 1) Update Local Package Index
|
||
|
||
To start off, log into your server and refresh the local package index as follows.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo apt update
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 2) Install Cockpit Web Console
|
||
|
||
The Cockpit web console packages are provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. You can verify this by running the following command.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ apt search cockpit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
So, install Cockpit using the APT package manager as shown.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo apt install cockpit -y
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The command installs the Cockpit web console alongside other additional packages, libraries, and dependencies.
|
||
|
||
![Apt-Command-Install-Cockpit-Ubuntu-22-04][1]
|
||
|
||
Once installed, you can verify if cockpit is installed by running the following command:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ apt -qq list cockpit
|
||
OR
|
||
$ dpkg -l cockpit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
From the output below, we can see that Cockpit version 264-1 has been installed.
|
||
|
||
![Check-Cockpit-WebConsole-Version-Ubuntu][2]
|
||
|
||
In case, you planning to manage kvm virtual machines with cockpit then install following package
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo apt install cockpit-machines -y
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 3) Install Cockpit Support for Podman
|
||
|
||
By default, Cockpit does not provide support for podman. If you wish to administer and manage podman containers using Cockpit, install the cockpit-podman package which provides support for podman.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo apt install cockpit-podman y
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
![Install-Cockpit-Podman-Support-Ubuntu-22-04][3]
|
||
|
||
### 4) Start Cockpit Web Console Service
|
||
|
||
Unlike other services or daemons, Cockpit does not start automatically once installed. Therefore, start the Cockpit systemd service as shown.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo systemctl start cockpit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Next, verify that the Cockpit service is running as follows.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo systemctl status cockpit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The output confirms that the Cockpit service is up and running.
|
||
|
||
![Cockpit-Service-Status-Ubuntu-22-04][4]
|
||
|
||
Cockpit listens on TCP port 9090. You can verify this is the case by running the following ss command.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ ss -tunlpe | grep cockpit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
![Socket-Connection-Cockpit-Ubuntu-22-04][5]
|
||
|
||
If the firewall is enabled on your Ubuntu 22.04 system, then allow 9090/tcp port so it’s web console can be accessed from outside
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ sudo ufw allow 9090/tcp
|
||
$ sudo ufw reload
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
![Allow-cockpit-console-port-ubuntu-22-04][6]
|
||
|
||
### 5) Access Cockpit Web Console
|
||
|
||
Cockpit is now fully installed and the only thing remaining is to access it and use it to manage your server.
|
||
|
||
To access Cockpit Web console, browse the following address.
|
||
|
||
https://server-ip:9090
|
||
|
||
You will get a warning that the website you are accessing is not private and that you could fall victim to hackers. Do not fret, as this happens since the server is encrypted by a self-signed SSL certificate which is not recognized by CA.
|
||
|
||
To get around this issue, simply click ‘Advanced’
|
||
|
||
![Cockpit-WebConsole-URL-Ubuntu-22-04][7]
|
||
|
||
Then click on ‘Proceed to server-ip’ link.
|
||
|
||
![Accept-Certificate-Cockpit-WebConsole][8]
|
||
|
||
Thereafter, the following login page will appear. Be sure to provide your username and password and click ‘Log In’.
|
||
|
||
![Cockpit-Login-Page-Ubuntu-22-04][9]
|
||
|
||
This ushers you to the Cockpit dashboard. The ‘Overview’ page provides your system’s metrics at a glance. You will see details on CPU and memory usage, health status, and system information.
|
||
|
||
To perform the administrative task, click on ‘Turn on administrative access’, it will prompt you to enter your user’s password.
|
||
|
||
The left sidebar provides various options that you can view.
|
||
|
||
![Cockpit-Dashboard-Ubuntu-22-04][10]
|
||
|
||
For example, you can click on ‘Networking’ to view information about bandwidth statistics, network interfaces as well as network logs.
|
||
|
||
![View-Network-Statistics-from-Cockpit-WebConsole][11]
|
||
|
||
You can also click ‘Services’ to get information about all the system services.
|
||
|
||
![System-Services-Status-Cockpit-WebConsole-Ubuntu-22-04][12]
|
||
|
||
To view and install software updates, click on ‘Software Updates’
|
||
|
||
![Software-Updates-Cockpit-WebConsole-Ubuntu-22-04][13]
|
||
|
||
In my case all the software updates are already installed, that’s why I am getting the status as ‘System is up to date’
|
||
|
||
##### Conclusion
|
||
|
||
And that’s it. In this guide, we have successfully installed Cockpit on Ubuntu 22.04. All the best as you enjoy managing your system.
