The SELinux app, which is a GUI for things like | setroubleshoot, audit2allow, etc is definitely my favorite part. | annoyingnoob wrote: | Looks like there is some overlapping text on the cockpit- | project.org main page. | | https://ibb.co/hKrbbnF | spicyusername wrote: | IIRC this can come installed by default with RHEL and Fedora | server if you select it during installation. | hrdwdmrbl wrote: | When i was new to Linux all i wanted was GUI versions of every | CLI.

Sounds like a fun "just | because" thing to do actually. | TheDong wrote: | We can call it groff, and invoke it via "groff -mandoc | -Thtml" | | The output of such a program might look something like this I | think: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/groff.1.html | LanternLight83 wrote: | I first ran into Cockpit when it was included on a Fedora Server | install, and I've been really impressed! It's sleek, I've never | had any major[1] issues with it, and I really appreciate the wide | variety[2] of functionality that you can include, eg. cockpit- | machines for Virtual Machines and the now-unmaintained cockpit- | zfs for all sorts of regular RAID activities. | | My sole gripe is that, IIRC, it's really tied into a dependency | on Systemd, so I can't use it on any of my current machines which | run elogind-based distros like GuixSD or a typical Gentoo | installation. I don't happen to have any systemd-based distros | installed atm, and if I did, can't imagine I'd use Cockpit | regularly unless I could use it everywhere-- but I do wish I | could! Maybe the systemd functionality can be factored out and | re-implemented, but I'm not sure if anyone's going to decide it's | worth their time and effort. | | [1]: I did have to set $TERM=linux for the web-shell to behave | correctly, but am not convinced that's an issue with Cockpit | itself. | | [2]: https://cockpit-project.org/applications | xmonkee wrote: | I recently got a Synology NAS and have been super impressed with | their web based management interface (called the DSM). Every | "app" has a UX for it. | pitacracker wrote: | What does UX mean in this context? | influx wrote: | I wish I could buy their software apart from the hardware. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-05-19 23:00 UTC)
