Great stuff Qadir. I tried first in my local machine with Ubuntu 18.04 to see the beauty of the tool. It works like a charm. Is Cockpit available for SUSE too as I di not see in the list? I have different flavors of OSes. Just wan to try out.


Will see in Alibaba Cloud ECS later.
JFY, when we face issue with "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock ", we can see this link. It helps.

Hi Raja_KT, I didn't try with SUSE, after getting your reply I searched Cockpit for SUSE. You can have a look on this link. I hope this will help you to install Cockpit on SUSE.
