Install Cockpit

You may want to treat this more like Docker to where, instead of installing this in a docker, install this on the locale machine next to docker as It needs some parts local OS to function with.  
 Install into your local machine: 
 sudo apt-get install cockpit -y 
 If you are going to use this as a Virtual Machine, install the following packages as well: 
 cockpit-machines = The VM package (adds the VM tab) pcp = Performance piolet - give data usage info cockpit-pcp = Part of above packagekit = an updater virt-viewer = To view on your local machine 
 sudo apt install cockpit-machines pcp cockpit-pcp packagekit virt-viewer 
 
 Once the installation completes, start and enable Cockpit with as well as the following other 2 things: (all 3) 
 sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket 
 sudo systemctl enable --now pmcd 
 sudo systemctl enable --now pmlogger 
 Now that Cockpit is installed and running, you can log in. 
 However, depending on how your system is set up, you’ll want to make sure the user you log into Cockpit with has sudo privileges. Only do this if: your machine does not already have a user with sudo privileges.  
 To change to sudo privileges, enter the command: 
 sudo usermod -aG sudo USER-NAME-HERE 
 If you want Container support; 
  you need to install podman. 
 sudo apt-get install podman cockpit-podman -y 
 Start and enable Podman with: 
 sudo systemctl enable --now podman 
 Accessing Cockpit: In your web browser, type in the ip of the machine your new cockpit instance is on. Cockpits port should default at 9090. Will look something like this    192.168.10.150:9090
