cockpit-tls:tldr:a7343
The cockpit-tls
command is used to configure and enable TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption for the Cockpit web-based server management interface. It allows secure communication between a client (such as a web browser) and the Cockpit server.
The --port ${port}
part of the command is an option that specifies the port number on which the TLS-secured Cockpit connection will be established. The ${port}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired port number. For example, if you want the TLS connection to be established on port 8443, you would replace ${port}
with 8443
.
By running the cockpit-tls
command with the appropriate port number, the TLS encryption will be activated for the Cockpit server, allowing for secure communication between clients and the server.
