That said I don't use it for "serious production" where I have more than a couple of machines simply because at that scale I prefer cattle to pets and I prefer aggregation. I run one fairly popular blog that as a web machine and a db machine, and it's great for that. The graphs for CPU/Mem/Network/Disk are really great, and I can leave them open in a tab on my browser. I even use it in production for monitoring small sites/apps. I've been using it for personal stuff for years now, especially since it's trivial to enable and use. But that is a market who notoriously won't want to pay for anything generally (they want the unlimited ride their last shared hosting provider promised but failed to deliver, for as little as that host or some chapter other is charging) but will bitch endlessly if there free moon-ona-stick isn't 100% perfect and 110% reliable.Ĭockpit is super cool. #COCKPIT VS WEBMIN INSTALL#Perhaps there is a use case for people tentatively moving from shared hosting to having their own VMs/servers, so they can give your app the host address, user, and pass word/key & let it discover available resources & install what they need. There could be a case for if using cockpit or similar was not possible due to policy rather than technical concerns (there aren't going to be many circumstances where someone who can't install cockpit has a SSH account with the privs required for your app to be useful much beyond monitoring). So unless you have a _really_ compelling auto config system for common enough workloads I doubt there would be a large enough paying market. Little or nothing extra on to of having the tools and libraries it needs installed. Installation is not an issue, more is keeping it up to date package-wise. you do need to install cockpit on your server, right?
