About Cockpit Podman
Cockpit Podman adds a containers page to Cockpit, the web-based server administration console. It talks to Podman through its REST API, so you can view and manage containers on a server from a browser instead of the command line.
It installs alongside Cockpit on the server; Fedora and COPR packages are published, and it can also be built from source or packaged as an RPM. Development is active, with automated releases published on GitHub.
