Switch between multiple Cockpit servers.

Use a terminal on a remote server in your local web browser.

Inspect and interact with systemd-based services.

Manage storage (including RAID and LUKS partitions).

Here’s a subset of tasks you can perform on each host running Cockpit: ExtendableĬockpit also supports a large list of optional and third-party applications. It runs on demand, thanks to systemd socket activation. Network-wide logins are also supported through single-sign-on and other authentication techniques.Ĭockpit itself doesn’t eat resources or even run in the background when you’re not using it. It doesn’t reinvent subsystems or add a layer of its own tooling.īy default, Cockpit uses your system’s normal user logins and privileges. IntegratedĬockpit uses APIs that already exist on the system. Cockpit even has a built-in terminal, which is useful when you connect from a non-Linux device. You can switch back and forth between Cockpit and whatever else you like. Keep using the command line, Ansible, and your other favorite tools and add Cockpit to the mix with no issues.Ĭockpit uses the same system tooling you would use from the command line. Have a favorite app or command line tool that you use on your servers? Basically, you can think of Cockpit like a graphical “desktop interface”, but for individual servers.

It’s easy to start containers, administer storage, configure networks, and inspect logs. See your server in a web browser and perform system tasks with a mouse. You don’t have to remember commands at a command-line. How quickly they increase in difficulty or what affects their difficulty is not publicly known.Cockpit makes Linux discoverable.

However, Guards will not be mourned.Īs you defeat more raiders and develop your colony, the raids will increase in difficulty. If any of your colonists die, then their family will mourn their death and not work that day. After the RaidĪfter all of the raiders have been defeated and spawners broken, your colonists will go back to their jobs. They may also drop Ancient Tomes, which are used in enchanting. Raiders have a chance to drop their equipment when you or your Guards defeat them. Similarly, turrets (from other mods) generally will not be effective on raiders. Any attack that hits a raider too hard will be reflected back at the attacker. They can swim straight through moving water and lava, taking no damage from lava. They are able to path fairly well, though if they are unable to find any path to their destination, they will break through any block, place ladders to climb up obstacles, or place blocks to bridge gaps to get to your colony. Trying to “cheese” the raiders usually will not work. Generally, raiders will path toward hut blocks in your colony, similar to what Guards do on patrol. Raiders will run around the colony breaking down doors and trying to attack your Guards and colonists. These scepters are essentially bows, and as such can be used by your archers. Mummy raids may include Pharaohs, who may drop their scepter on defeat. If any of the environment would be clipped by the pirate ship’s spawning, the environment will be restored after the ship sails away (in 3 days, by default). They will spawn with a ship that has spawners that continuously spawn more pirates until you break the spawners. Notably, Pirate raids can spawn on any large body of water, not just the ocean. The type of raiders that can spawn are determined by the biome in which they spawn. This can help you find that one pesky raider that got stuck or is hiding and finish the raid. If you have a Barracks at level 3 or higher, you can hire spies to make raiders glow. Larger colonies may get multiple waves or groups of raiders from different directions, even of different types.

Raids spawn randomly, with a minimum number of nights between them and an average number of nights as set in the config file. There will be a chat message giving a general direction of where the raid spawned and a bar at the top of your screen showing your progress in defeating the raiders. Raids will only spawn at the start of a night. Generally, this means they’ll spawn outside of the colony, but if your buildings are spread out, they could spawn between them! These forces can spawn almost anywhere except near your buildings. If a raid is currently in progress, your colonists will stop working and run home! Before the RaidĪs your colony develops, you may get raided by hostile forces.
