If you want to install cockpit<\/a> on your server, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To install cockpit on Ubuntu, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

sudo apt install cockpit<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, install the following package for more detailed metrics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install cockpit-pcp<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now there is a bug in Ubuntu, prohibiting cockpit to update the system through the webinterface (packagekit cannot refresh cache whilst offline). This seems to have to do with differences in netplan<\/em> and network manager<\/em>. To overcome this, you have to create a a placeholder file and a network interface:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nano \/etc\/NetworkManager\/conf.d\/10-globally-managed-devices.conf<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Add the following two lines to that file. Save the file ant quit the nano<\/em> editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 [keyfile]\n unmanaged-devices=none<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Optionally: <\/strong>If you run Ubuntu on an ARM system, you may need to install the following packages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-raspi<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now set up a dummy network interface:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nmcli con add type dummy con-name fake ifname fake0 ip4 1.2.3.4\/24 gw4 1.2.3.1<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Reboot your machine. Now you should be able to update the packages in the web interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cockpit should be starting automatically. If this does not happen, configure it to do so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
systemctl start cockpit\nsystemctl enable cockpit<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Access your cockpit installion under https:\/\/my.server.IP.address:9090<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto start issues?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you happen to see the following error when enabling cockpit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=, Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Than you have to edit the configuration file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
sudo nano \/usr\/lib\/systemd\/system\/cockpit.service<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
And add the following lines at the end, save and start the service:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
systemctl enable cockpit.service\nsystemctl start cockpit.service<\/code><\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n\n
