AlmaLinux⌗

A Community-driven, free enterprise-grade distribution of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or RHEL for short.⌗

Cockpit⌗

A free, open-source web-based server manager that allows you to easily manage your server through a web browser.⌗

Installing AlmaLinux⌗

You can download and install AlmaLinux using a VM like VirtualBox or QEMU, but I recommend an old Intel machine or a server unit.⌗
For USB I’d recommend a Windows tool called YUMI/Ventoy(ExFat)⌗
My go-to for Linux is old school DD (do be careful with that one if you’re unfamiliar with DD maybe avoid it)⌗

Installing Cockpit on AlmaLinux⌗

To Install Cockpit on AlmaLinux requires the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository to be enabled. To do so, run the following commands:⌗ 
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install epel-release
sudo dnf update
sudo dnf install cockpit
To start the cockpit service simply run the following systemctl command:⌗ 
sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
From Cockpit you can now easily manage everything from your firewall rules to your podman containers and more!⌗
