cockpit-desktop
{URLPATH}
The cockpit-desktop program provides secure access to Cockpit pages in an already running desktop session. It starts a web server (cockpit-ws) and a web browser in an isolated network namespace, and a cockpit-bridge(8) in the running user session.
This avoids having to log into Cockpit, and having to enable
cockpit.socket
system-wide. The network isolation
ensures that no other user, and not even other processes in the user's
session, can access this local web server.
URLPATH
is the Cockpit page to open, i. e. the path
component of Cockpit URLs. It is highly recommended to only open a
particular page frame,
not the entire Cockpit navigation and menu. For example, the path
/cockpit/@localhost/storage/index.html
will open the Storage
page.
