Started using Cockpit when installing Fedora 21 on the old dog NAS - HP ProLiant MicroServer N54l), it has been continuously improved over time and become a easy to use & robust Web UI for beginners (very intuitive, e.g. enabling metric collection will trigger toggling `pmlogger.service` and so on), even CLI warriors love it as a supplement.

Found it a useful single point of view / administration covering networking, storage, virtualization, containerization, etc. when managing a small group of servers over nebula (overlay network), across home, multiple cloud service providers. Haven't used it at scale though, will dip into it when time comes (it supports FreeIPA).
