Cockpit is a powerful, web-based graphical user interface (GUI) designed to make managing your on-premise Linux servers straightforward and efficient. Accessible through any web browser, Cockpit provides real-time monitoring, intuitive management tools, and streamlined administrative tasks.

Safer with Pomerium

Cockpit is a high value target given that it grants system access to sensitive resources. At the same time, most internal Cockpit users are likely to want remote access to Cockpit.

Securing Cockpit with Pomerium grants stronger authentication, authorization, and audit logs for observability purposes.

Finally, Cockpit officially only supports using Kerberos for SSO purposes. You can secure the Cockpit web-base GUI for Linux servers with Pomerium to add any identity provider to Cockpit for SSO.
