From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your favorite web UI for your linux server? (lemdro.id)

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)

I tried to install Cockpit on Debian, and it just downloaded an entire Linux Desktop? Really weird, had the configs and open port all but still the UI was not showing.

Might give it another try but would prefer something less resource heavy

"Hey you wanted NetworkManager, right? We've decided everyone wants NetworkManager."

Last time I didn't use --no-install-recommends

Ooh right! I hate Debian that it does this.

It makes sense in a lot of cases, just not all of them.
Huh, it's got to be the maintainers who make that list, right? Not the developers?
Either way, that must be an awkward philosophical snarl. "Oh I see we're running Gnome again."

It was a hyperbole so not really a complete desktop, but a lot of tools that where duplicating others in purpose

I've had it cascade and install an entire desktop.
