I just installed CentOS GNU/Linux (version 8 build 1905) on a machine; this wasn't my choice of distro - I'm a Debian man myself.

Anyway, when I SSH into this machine (as a non-root user), it tells me:

Activate the trang web console with: systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket

What will this trang web console have? On which port will it listen, and for whom? Can non-root users simply activate it when they want to? I'm somewhat baffled by this, as I'm not used to tướng CentOS.

In brief generally we login to tướng our tài khoản from CLI or GUI. After running following command

systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket

one can access their tài khoản from trang web browser.

Just need to tướng type following for local lập cập.

https://localhost:9090

I suspect the main driver for this is for either "headless" servers or perhaps for some tư vấn functionality.
