From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your favorite web UI for your linux server? (lemdro.id)

Do you use any web ui's for your Linux server? I'm comfortable managing my server using the command line, but I also want a graphical interface that shows an overview of what is running on the server, the way the resources are being used what containers are running and so on. Also file download uploads would be great to have.

What do you recommend which is light and resources and is suitable for less powerful servers with low ram?

So far these are the more interstating tools I've found: (they vary in functionality their provide)

I want to view multiple endpoints at once though.
They had that feature but they discontinued it.

Cockpit can still.connect to multiple machines: https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/feature-machines

Where did you see that they discontinued it? Or do you mean netdata, who hid this behind a paywall?

It can connect singly. It used to have the ability to stack graphs and details of multiple machines at a time. Not just a dropdown that switches you fully.
Here's the feature introduction: Multi-Server Dashboard
The removal announcement was buried in the release notes which is why I say it was quietly discontinued, but I sure spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to enable it before finding that.

I'll try to find it later once I'm not on mobile, but you can tell from the above link that nothing like that exists in Cockpit today.

Thank you for the explanation. That sucks.

If it's only the monitoring you want, you can set up something with Grafana and Prometheus very quickly.
