Mind blown. I thought this was some ordinary Python or Ruby app. It reminded me of Ajenti (http://ajenti.org/ http://ajenti.org/), which is nice admin panel. But Cockpit is insane (not in a bad way). [starting cockpit] will cause systemd to listen on port 21064 and start cockpit-ws when someone connects to it. Cockpit-ws will in turn activate cockpitd via D-Bus when someone logs in successfully. Cockpit is written in C, by Red Hat. The web frontend has dbus.js that does D-Bus over WebSockets to communicate to the backend. I expect this project will evolve into something much bigger. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit
