Your favorite web UI for your linux server?

Do you use any web ui’s for your Linux server? I’m comfortable managing my server using the command line, but I also want a graphical interface that shows an overview of what is running on the server, the way the resources are being used what containers are running and so on. Also file download uploads would be great to have.

What do you recommend which is light and resources and is suitable for less powerful servers with low ram?

So far these are the more interstating tools I’ve found: (they vary in functionality their provide)

CasaOS Cockpit SartOS Orb Kasm

I use Froxlor. But it’s less about resources and more about webhosting. Just makes it easier for me to control domains, databases and e-mail addresses.

It’s not as deep in the system like Webmin but still gives me enough control to do special stuff.

MigratingtoLemmy,

What you want is monitoring: how about looking for monitoring services? I found monit recently and would like to try it. Simple SNMP would do too I think

A bit off-topic, but why do many self hosting-related stuff tries to “reinvent the wheel” so to speak with things that exists even on smart tvs nowadays? Even then, who is gonna edit videos (for example) on a smart tv? “Oopsie, time to get my mouse and keyboard and do some heavy video editing on my TV!”

@ontopic, eh. btop is enough for me as well. Maybe glances if I’m feeling “haxxor” enough. :^)

0000,

A lot of my motivation for starting random useless side projects is unfortunately “because I can” and the learning experience from using a new framework or library.

Eh, I see your point.

MonkCanatella,

I tried out some of these today. Umbrel, CapRover and Tipi aren’t on your list yet.

They look beautiful and have some nice prebuilt installations but it gets really ugly soon as you need a custom component. I just deleted it all and switched over to portainer.

I tried installing gnome to rdp into my oracle free tier server and it wasn’t remotely (hehehe) worth it. Very laggy and direct interfaces are just far superior so no to that as well. Plus it takes up precious space and resources.

I think the best option is a dashboard like dashy or homepage to keep your service interfaces together. Portainer is excellent for container management.

These weird “OS” style container platforms are really bizarre and I don’t think too well thought out. They’re kinda toys really. Looked really amazing but they show their limitations really quickly.

fart_pickle,

+1 for cockpit. Easy to install, easy on the eyes and makes things done.

andruid,

Cockpit has been my go too, very quick to just get up and working plus including a web terminal for the rest of what you need.

Madiator2011,

Do you have links to SartOS and Orb?
