- Conceptually: Linux session running in a web browser; technically very similar to ssh/VT/GNOME login
-- Aimed at admins who are new to Linux, e. g. coming from the Windows world and familiar with the concepts, but not Linux terminology
-- but also to experienced ones for infrequent tasks; not just setup, but also investigating “what is wrong with this machine”
+- Tool for experimenting, learning, troubleshooting, and doing infrequent tasks
:::
- Zero configuration
:::notes
+- being web based makes this server UI available to places that you
+ traditionally don't reach with ssh
- Switch to Windows virt-viewer, open Edge, show Cockpit
- Quit virt-viewer
- Move to local browser, enable mobile mode (Ctrl+Shift+M)
- can run in container
- no ws on critical machines, don't trust cockpit-session
- switch to browser; log out, use "connect to" for cockpit.dev:2201
+- finish the demo script, press Enter

# Other authentication setups
- OAuth (external embedding)
- Foreman: included cockpit-ws with dynamic configuration
-TODO: foreman screenshot
-
:::notes
- Cockpit supports common authentication systems out of the box
- IdM is very common; if you have a krb ticket, you get a session immediately
present them to the web server; latest Cockpit versions supports that
- Foreman has a "Web Console" button; interesting case for seamless transition
between Foreman and Cockpit
+- Show video
- already has ssh to all maintained machines
- runs a single cockpit-ws process on its server, and dynamically configures it
for selected target machine
