"I recently wrote about my migration away from VirtualBox to KVM/Virt-Machine for my virtual machine needs. I've found those tools to be far superior (albeit with a bit more of a learning curve) than VirtualBox. Since then, however, I've found another method of working with KVM (the Linux kernel virtual machine technology), one that not only allows me to create and manage virtual machines on my local computer, but also from any machine on my LAN. That tool is Cockpit, which makes managing your Linux machines considerably easier."
"Installing Cockpit What you'll need: I'm going to install and run Cockpit on my main Pop!_OS installation. You can install Cockpit on other distros with your default package manager (such as dnf and pacman). Besides the Linux distro, you'll also need a user with sudo privileges. Let's make this happen. sudo apt-get install cockpit -y sudo apt-get install cockpit-machines -y You could also install both of those packages with the single command: sudo apt-get install cockpit cockpit-machines -y You're now ready to rock."
Cockpit is a web-based management tool that provides a graphical interface for KVM virtual machines. A virtual machines plugin enables creation, import, starting, viewing, disk insertion, and adding network interfaces to VMs. Cockpit installs on most Linux distributions via standard package managers; on Debian/Ubuntu-based systems the packages are cockpit and cockpit-machines and can be installed with apt-get. A user with sudo privileges is required. After installation, Cockpit is accessed through a browser at http://IP:9090. Cockpit supports managing VMs on the local host and from any machine on the LAN and offers a powerful, versatile VM management workflow.
