I was using webmin, but since my last server died and I’m making a new one, I decided I’d look into something different, personally I liked webmin but didn’t use most of its functionality and felt a little clunky for my basic use. I’ve also testran casaos but felt weirdly limited and couldn’t smoothly migrate docker containers to interact with its interface.

I can do with just the terminal, but it’s nice having a gui that I can glance at my phone and quickly do stuff like update and reboot.

I personally haven’t seen or found much conversation into the topic so I figured I’d ask and see what you peeps use and why.

    Cockpit is nice for that. The Podman integration of it is also useful.

    The cli.

    I have used management interfaces like coxkpit in the last but i do not really like it that much. I have E-Mail Notifications setup for updates via aptitude and monitor using prometheus and grafana and get additional notifications via prometheus alarm manager.

    For an easy to use docker interface i use dockge, since i found it in this use case to be faster with a good, working, independend Interface.

    But for the Linux underneath, for all 10-20 servers i managae, CLI.

    • Proxmox GUI for restarting hosts or vms
    • Komodo for restarting containers
    • Forgejo for configuring and updating containers (deployed by komodo)
    • Ansible for OS updates
    • Prometheus + Grafana for monitoring

    Those for basic stuff, ssh for everything else.

    I had started out with CasaOS and ran it for a year or so. Last week, I took some time to move everything out of Casa’s file structure and cleaned up the compose files.

    For container management, I’m using Dockhand. It’s been great.

    Otherwise, like most others have said, SSH when I need to do more.

    So many things. Mostly Kubernetes and FluxCD, but also doco-cd for managing a few deployments on my NAS with GitOps.

    Opentofu for all the looking after the config on my proxmox boxes and networking gear. Ansible for everything else.

    I don’t currently have any monitoring set up but it’s in the to do list when I feel like it.
