Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 169.
Storage: Offer installation of NFS client support -------------------------------------------------
The "NFS Mounts" pane on the Storage page now shows an "Install NFS Support" button if the necessary packages are not already available.

System: Request FreeIPA SSL certificate for Cockpit's web server ----------------------------------------------------------------
When enrolling into a FreeIPA domain, an SSL certificate is requested from the IPA server and stored in /etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/10-ipa.cert. Cockpit's web server will then use that certificate instead of the default self-signed one. The IPA server's certificate authority is trusted by default and accepted by web browsers, OpenSSL, curl, and other network clients.
Services: Show unit relationships ---------------------------------
The details of a systemd service now shows dependency, ordering, and other relationships to units:

Provide motd help about how to access cockpit ---------------------------------------------
Cockpit now provides an `/etc/motd.d/cockpit` motd message that explains how to enable and start Cockpit if it's not running, or how to access it if it is running.
This requires PAM 1.3.1 and enabling the `pam_motd` module:
session optional pam_motd.so
