Running Cockpit — Cockpit Project
Excerpt
Cockpit makes it easy to administer your Linux servers via a web browser.
Debian
These commands require a POSIX compatible shell like bash. For other shells like fish, temporarily run bash -i.
Cockpit is available in Debian since version 10 (Buster).
-
To get the latest version, we recommend to enable the backports repository (as root):
. /etc/os-release echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian ${VERSION_CODENAME}-backports main" > \ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list apt update -
Install or update the package:
apt install -t ${VERSION_CODENAME}-backports cockpit
When updating Cockpit-related packages and any dependencies, make sure to use -t ...-backports as above, so backports are included.
Ubuntu
These commands require a POSIX compatible shell like bash. For other shells like fish, temporarily run bash -i.
Cockpit is available in Ubuntu, with updated versions in official backports for LTS releases.
We recommend installing or updating the latest version from backports. This repository is enabled by default, but if you customized apt sources you might need to enable them manually.
. /etc/os-release
sudo apt install -t ${VERSION_CODENAME}-backports cockpit
When updating Cockpit-related packages and any dependencies, make sure to use -t ...-backports as above, so backports are included.
