[HLUG] Cockpit KVM and Docker web management gui

[Ceri Williams]

Hi Julian,

I've not used Cockpit for quite a while until recently, as I've installed
CentOS 8 on a new workstation.
Interestingly, whilst it appears that that default version comes with a
Docker module, on el8 you get a Podman module instead, which is a plus for
me to use el8.
It supports libvirt too, although I've not got that far yet as the new
machine only arrived the other day.

.. I'm 99% cli anyway, so not much of a GUI person for tech purposes.

Cheers,

Ceri
