Hey Linux server admin type folks: do you recommend using Cockpit to monitor servers and do admin work?
https://cockpit-project.org/
It's getting to the point where I have quite a few small servers scattered about the Internet. I tend to go through them all once a month to update them and check on them. I think I need to get a bit more active in watching them, though. Would Cockpit be a good choice?
