Cockpit is a web GUI to manage some of the hardware level configuration options of the system.

Do this as root.
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
sudo /bin/bash
</syntaxhighlight>
{{Note | the apt update is setting up the new library so that the cockpit software can be loaded.}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
. /etc/os-release
echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian ${VERSION_CODENAME}-backports main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/backports.list
apt update
apt install -y -t ${VERSION_CODENAME}-backports cockpit
</syntaxhighlight>
Use the ip utility to find the IP address.
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
# ip a
</syntaxhighlight>
Open URL from a web browser:
<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">
https://<ip address>:9090
</syntaxhighlight>
Login with the user created on the install. After logging in, do a quick check, switch to administrative access and then open the terminal window. For the adsb-feeder, you can also open an ssh terminal session to the server at this time.

Cockpit makes making network changes pretty straight forward. Changing from DNS to a fixed address is easier that modifying the system files necessary to do that. If network changes have been made, reboot the system and start from the new IP address.

Use the default settings when requested.

{{note | For the adsb-feeder, ignore a error starting the ads-docker-pull service. This will resolve after initiating the application.}}
