# Cockpit

The Hiera example below will install and activate the [web based management interface Cockpit](https://cockpit-project.org/) plus eventually some required modules:

```
base::package_groups:
  - 'cockpit'

base::pkg_group::cockpit:
  - 'cockpit'
  - 'cockpit-...'

base::sockets:
  cockpit:
    enable: true
```

If you would like to disallow access from externally and only allow connections from the host itself, then extend the socket configuration as below:

```
base::sockets:
  cockpit:
    enable: true
    dropin: true
    options:
      Socket:
        ListenStream: ['', '[::1]:9090']
```
