      There's been some comments that people like your shorter videos; I just want to add, that I enjoy both short-form & long-form content, but prefer the long-form for a myriad of reasons. It really depends on what the topic and subject-matter is within the video(s) themselves. Some things you simply cannot squeeze or condense-down to 15 minutes. Sometimes not even 30 minutes - those longer videos allow for substantially more in-depth reviews, tutorials, features, and information.
      You've been an incredibly intricate & priceless resource for me throughout my Linux journey sincere 2015.
      To name a few: XCP-ng, pfsense, FreeNAS/TrueNAS Core, TrueCommand, Pop!_OS, KDE/Plasma, Network monitoring | Management | Administration, tmux, and the opensource apps & tools you use to run your business. Without your videos on all of those topics, I wouldn't be nearly as advanced as I currently am with my own IT Business & my Consulting career with what I've been able to accomplish, especially in a short amount of time. You're a truly amazing resource Tom! Your videos are great for newbs & experienced/accomplished tecnology professionals alike.
      Long comment I know, but I wanted to express my sincere appreciation & gratitude for the content you product & provide to the Linux & Technology community. And you do all of this FREE on TH-cam, the information on your website, and your Forum! *No paywall! No teaser videos where viewers need to buy some coarse to get the full information. No shady tactics!*
      Again, thanks for everything you do Tom! _I REALLY appreciate it._
      Cheers

    It not only makes it easier to use, I think it also makes it easier to learn. I learned from command line, but starting from scratch, it can be really hard to grasp and understand linux. Using a web ui, it will give you a visual understanding of how things work, and what the content of the operating system is. Its like navigating a kitchen in the dark. If you first turn the light on, and learn where stuff is located, it will be easier to navigate in the dark.

      I'm not sure I see the connection. What advantage do these tools offer to the one-man shop? They add overhead, security concerns, and unnecessary points of entry. This is okay with a team of people to monitor and secure it. It's the exact opposite of what you are trying to do as a one man shop. When working alone you want to avoid these types of situations because they require more than one set of eyes to implement safely.

  • @UKprl
    @UKprl 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    It's a good introduction if people weren't aware that you could have administrative web interface without the overhead of installing a desktop environment for a graphical view of systems.
    I'd have liked you to show a glance at Cockpit's Dashboard feature and how it can manage more than one sever from there, as then you only need the web component running on one of a group of servers.
    As long as the first server can reach Cockpit on other server(s) by SSH this means they don't even have to be co-located.
    I've used it in this way for a few servers at different sites and was pleased to see it work even across different versions of Ubuntu LTS Server, given that it is a Red-Hat sponsored project.
    The services, storage, and log sections are certainly more approachable than the command line, and also for those who don't yet have any centralised monitoring/logging (e.g. Zabbix).
    Also I think Cockpit uses APIs or libraries to perform functions, for example the virtual machines section uses libvirt, and for system software updates it uses PackageKit, so I would not describe that as merely running some command line functions behind the scenes.
    But I appreciate it was meant to be a quick look.

    @kUdtiHaEX 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do not use Vesta. It is abandoned and has some serious security issues. Use HestiaCP, the fork. It is quite good and should be seriously considered.
    Then there are some paid options, such as Plesk, cPanel and DirectAdmin. However, cPanel works only on CentOS and while it is commonly used as a web hosting panel, i wouldn’t recommend it for casual use.
    Also there is an ISPconfig, another free Web UI for server management. In my opinion not as good as Hestia but still an adequate alternative.
