I wouldn't recommend Cockpit on Ubuntu. Yes, you can get it installed and running pretty easy - however because Ubuntu does networking differently it wasn't able to do a bunch of things. Cockpit kept thinking the machine was offline, so wouldn't do software updates. It wouldn't do network management, because networking wasn't done in the way that Cockpit wanted. Yes, I could manually screw around and move from one type of network manager to another to make it work - but it wasn't easy, and easily broke networking on the machines. I ended up installing Fedora instead to get Cockpit working nicely.
