Sounds a lot like Cockpit, which provides a graphical interface for administering Linux servers.

I never heard of it, but it’s apparently good enough to be baked into RHEL

> The Red Hat Customer Portal product documentation pages document how to use the “web console” (another name for Cockpit). While this is specifically for the version of Cockpit that ships in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the interface and its usage is similar on other distributions where the Cockpit web console exists

Have you tried that? I see some servers nagging me about that, but never tried.

I have and I like it. It was in the apt repositories for Ubuntu so I use that to manage my hypervisor (which is just an Ubuntu LTS box). In browser VNC to manage/install VMs is pretty great for when SSH isn't set up yet or I'm having issues with it.

It has a libvirt extension you can use to manage the VMs which is nice. Kind of remind me of webmin tbh.

That's great, I'll give it a try then. Thanks.
