I tried this some years ago. There was a hard limit on the number of computers you can connect to the community edition. I think it was 15.

As I've mentioned here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37896224 you can use alternative.

I use proxmox all over the place. I don't know that I would use it as a replacement for cockpit.

Would this work for a RPi? In particular the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B V1.2 model? This might be a little overkill but I was looking for something to monitor cpu temp (with graphs to show temp minute by minute over a week for example), cpu usage, ram, disk space, network access, etc.

Have you looked into netdata? It can do this and much more, it’s very flexible. No relation, just a big fan!

webmin anyone?

Going for that nice mid 1990's vibe? In fairness it's got a wealth of features...it's just ugly as sin.

I've actually been running webmin on my raspberry pi 4 practically every since I got it, the night version of the authentic theme(one of the default) actually looks and feels relatively modern and is updated as well every now and then. My only nitpicks are the obsolete set of tools/panels available (it was the core reason why it took me so much to move from apache to nginx, because there's no nginx panel on the default set)

Yes, netdata FTW! You might need to perform some manual configuration to enable sensor data collection though, like installing `lm-sensors`.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Things might have changed, but there aren't that many vm/docker monitoring projects named cockpit that I can confuse this with.

This one, maybe? https://camunda.com/platform-7/cockpit/ Either way, the OP Cockpit has been unrestricted LGPL for years now so somehow you're mistaken.

This is definitely not it. There were enterprise and community editions and I was stuck at 15.
