minimal cockpit packages for target node

[Sohin Vyacheslav]

Hello,

I installed full cockpit deb-packages suit on Ubuntu-20.04 server and as 
I understand for target node it's possible to install only these 2 
packages: cockpit-bridge and cockpit-system to make possible monitoring 
of target node, isn't it?

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by "target node"? A system which you connect to remotely over
SSH, instead of direct port 9090? That is true wrt. *not* having to
install/enable cockpit-ws, these remote machines don't need an open cockpit
port. This is in fact what we recommend for production machines: Run cockpit-ws
on an uncritical "bastion host" or use Cockpit Client [1].

However, depending on what you want to do on that remote machine, you still may
want to add additional "Pages" like cockpit-podman or cockpit-storaged.
