We now offer cockpit control panel for our virtual private servers if they are a debian derived system such as debian, ubuntu, mint, mxlinux, zorin, julinux, etc.

     I’ve been down on control panels in general for security reason but this one looks good as it does not require any special privileges and only gives the user access they would have logged into a shell in terms of permissions.  Permissions can be elevated in the same way they could from a shell, so if a user is in a group such as admin, they get the access that goes with it in cockpit.  The only issue is you are still using a web browser which may or may not be secure and your machine may or may not be sure but that issue exists with ssh access or x2go as well.

     If you would like this installed on your Virtual Private Server initiate a support ticket with your request.
