Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly.

Machines: Enable interface type “direct” in NIC configuration

It’s now possible to directly attach the VM’s NIC to the specified physical interface of the host.

systemd: Add more actions to services

Furthermore, disabling or masking a service removes any lingering “failed” state, reducing noise.
