Cockpit
According to [2], Cockpit allows you to manage Linux devices on your network
remotely. You can add or remove users, connect Network File System (NFS) shares, and
start and stop services. One of my favorite simple Cockpit tasks is doing updates. I no
longer have to walk around the office or house to collect each device to log in, update,
reboot, and wait. Enterprise administrators don't need to badge into a data center; instead,
they can manage devices from the comfort of their office.
