Does this work well with fleets? I remember looking at this early on it seemed fairly single-server focused.

  I think they dropped multi server managment because it was possible to add a few servers but I guess they drop that one out. You do can logon into a server right on the logon page. That is nice.

  Red Hat wants you to use Ansible for that.

    Red Hat wants you to use Satellite for that, which uses Ansible but also does other things based around package management.

  It's pretty single-server focused... but there is a 'Multi Host' mode. One instance can use SSH to look at N systems [independently]. This consolidates the Cockpit endpoints you might need to use/ports to open... but doesn't give much in the way of orchestration. I believe when 'roscas' says this feature was dropped, they're talking about the requirement to enable 'AllowMultiHost'. As far as I know, this is still supported with some risk (according to the latest docs): https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/#secondary-auth https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/#secondary-auth

    Did some more reading, can't edit/correct; replying to myself! Found this: > This feature is deprecated as of Cockpit 322. Still works on 357 (Fedora 43)... so it's one of those "you can use it, but don't expect fixes" things, I guess. ref: https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/#multi-host https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/#multi-host
