I think you just proved my original point[1]: As shipped, Cockpit will not function as intended on any OS that doesn't use systemd. If it requires patching and legwork the maintainers have not and do not yet plan to implement, it's up to the server maintainer to shoehorn it into their system. That would probably be more work than it's worth just to try out something that may still end up broken with each future update. Again, no hate for systemd here, I was just pointing out what I had read in the documentation and making it known. FYI my laptop runs Elementary OS which fully depends on systemd and I have no issues with that situation, nor do I "hate" it. If I did I would run a different OS on it. systemd is part of Linux for the majority of distros, it's likely here to stay, and these days it's stable enough for daily use.
