 Alright, so we're going to take a look here at the cockpit project. I showed this couple of days ago when I did my NVR video and it'll help people say, well, what's the webinar face you're running on there? I mentioned it was cockpit. I've also done a more in-depth one on Webmin because Webmin has a lot of features, so I went through a lot of the functionality you can get with Webmin. I like cockpit because it's rather lightweight. I don't usually use a webinar face at all, but this is kind of a novel, easy system to use if you want to load a simple webinar face to grab a dashboard. Now, this is primarily supported in Red Hat. That's where there seems to be the most features, but it does work with other distributions. As you can see here, there's all kinds of little reports and applications and settings and fun stuff. All of that doesn't completely seem to work in the debbing distribution I'm on here, but the things that I need do happen to work. We'll show you how to get it here, which running cockpit pretty straightforward. Here's your different distros, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and because it's a Fedora backed project, if you're on there, you just install it. You can just use their installer to install it. With WN, you just have to enable the stretch back ports. If you're using WN9, pick the version you're using here, and away you go, sudo apt-get install or just apt-get install if you're root, but they have a support for a few other OSes here as well. Now, the default port is 9090. Here's our test machine, 192.1683.190.190, 9090, sorry. I've got it set up here. Now, I will make a couple of quick notes here about setting it up. When you go and install cockpit, apt-get install cockpit, it will install, but there's actually a couple of different pieces here. For example, if you don't install cockpit package kit, it won't know to do any software updates if you want them done via the cockpit system. I also want to add just to show you that they're in here. I put in the doctor, apt-get install cockpit docker. It does not install docker, just installs the interface for it and machines. Now, the cool thing is we install machines. It will partially set up over, but it didn't do a complete install and I'm not a real expert. I didn't take the time to set up over completely, but I wanted to show you that it's in here and it does give an install VM field. Like I said, I didn't dig into what I did wrong, but if you have over working your machining, you load cockpit, cockpit will be able to help out with that. So from the system page here, we can see the number of CPU cores. We can click on that so you can, you know, get a little chart on things. Like I said, that's probably the reason I've loaded it just to kind of get a quick web interface to visualize looking at system. It has also show your shell key fingerprints, host name, the ability to restart or shutdown. If you click on hardware information, it gives you a little bit of hardware information on here. This is a virtual machine running on my Zen server. So it's virtualized. So that's why some of the things are like they are in here. It does get to see what does get passed through to the main machine, but you see it's hardware virtualization module. Logs, you can look at lots of logs, recent logs, current logs, all the logs last seven days. Now this is pretty slick because if you just want to quickly be able to do things like right here, I apt kit transaction update with package kit, you can see some of the things that I've done. You know, look in there Lord load earlier entries if you can't find something in there kind of novel that it has this in there. It's to me not as good as but it is really nice to have that you can dig into things and it kind of presents it in a very concise manner. I'm just so used to using the command line, but I like this storage wise. No RAID set up in this one, but we can see my QEMU EMU drive. You can see the drive. You can set things up. You can mount things here. Pretty basic doesn't give you a ton of options, but you know it's got the basics here. Networking now couple side note on the networking the way the networking works inside of here is only if you have system may go over here real quick. Make sure right place. So you have IF up down is how I'm used to using it and I usually have an interfaces file here where I configure the interfaces. If that interface file exists, then the network manager cannot take over because it overrides it. So you do have to remove that. So if you want to be able to edit the network interfaces, the way you do that is by going inside of here and removing that file, letting network manager take care of it versus IF up down Google that you can learn about the differences. I'm not gonna goes out of the scope of this. Now I did like say loaded the Docker in here. And this is Docker is not set up on the system, but it'll give you control over the Docker and the containers. I'm not a Docker expert, but kind of cool that it's built in here. Virtual machine support like I said for overt didn't get this working right. But I'm not an overt expert and it is installed in here. So that's kind of cool. Accounts services you can dig into the different running services, their targets and it's all managing this through system D. This is where I seen a lot of some screenshots over on the red hat version. And it seems to have a lot more support for different details and applications. So maybe that support is coming for Debbie and I'm not completely sure I read some notes about it and GitHub, but I don't know when that's happening or if there's some way that you can enable it to be able to support more than just the basics of the system terminal. This is kind of cool because you are logging in directly through so you're not SSH and you're actually getting the terminal brought to you by cockpit. So it's kind of nice that that's right in there. And the software updates you can check for updates and there's no updates here. So that nothing to show you but it'll let you say yes and all the updates and you have the dashboard where you can look at CPU memory network IO and disk IO. Now this is something kind of novel about cockpit as you see is pretty straightforward, but also kind of basic, especially running in here on Debian. But I like the way you can do this. So if we SSH into this other machine, so this machine that we're on is the 192 1683 dot 190. I'm an SSH over to 172 1669 150. I've already added my SSH keys, which is why I didn't ask for a password. But that's also this is the NVR happens to be running cockpit. So if we take this IP address here, we add a server. Oops. And we add 172 here. We hit add. It just adds it right away. So you already have another machine that you can SSH into because you ever get your key files set up and look at how to do SSH keys. I'm not going to cover that in scope of this. But this will allow you to log into the other machine. So here we are. We can it's a little poll down here and now both of them will show up. So we have the WN one and we have the NVR. This is the same NVR loaded the other day that I use. And this is the unified video I did now something extra kind of novel here is here's all the dis as you can see them inside the NVR and go here and this is the radar and you can see the whole rate array is in sync and working properly. So once again, it's pretty straightforward and I like this too because then you can set up, you know, you can visually see it without doing anything in the command line and kind of get an idea. Now we actually have this thing writing quite a bit because I have all the cameras still turned on kind of burning the machine in. We can see how much memory it's using. And you get all these nice little pretty charged, which like I said, this is one of the reasons we loaded this on the system logs to see if there's any issues or errors. Pam system failed a really session. It's actually because I had closed and stopped and started this before the demo. So those errors are related to me testing. But pretty cool. I mean, here's a visual of just the hard drive rights, reading, writing back and forth for each of the drives. And of course, it's listed over here. Same thing, application terminal, said to refresh the page. Unfortunately, because I had logged out and logged back in before this demo, it just had to have a page refresh, but it's yeah, it works perfectly fine. So now I'm actually on this machine, which you can see I have the Oracle that I had to install for the Java and things like that here. But it's a pretty straightforward management tool. I like it. It's basic. I don't usually use a web interface at all on machines. But if you're going to use a web interface, kind of look at things visually or if you have like I do a staff that are less Linux savvy and maybe you want to be able just to quickly look at things. This is it's a great little tool for doing this. It's lightweight. It's easy. It doesn't create a bunch of weird config files. It uses the systems config files and reads from the system D to pull this information together so it doesn't have to install much, which is what keeps it lightweight. And hey, it's free. Why not give it a try? So if you're looking to get started in Linux and you're not sure or just want something visual to put on top of one of your headless servers, go ahead and give it a try. That being said, I don't know if there's plan support for this, but I doesn't support two factors. So I thought that was kind of disappointing. It would be nice if they had two factor inside of here, especially if you ever want to put this across the Internet or anything like that. But that was my quick little review of cockpit.
