cockpit-ws: Start and bind to a specific IP address (defaults to `0.0.0.0`).

cockpit-ws

$ cockpit-ws --address ${ip_address}

try on your machine

The command "cockpit-ws --address ${ip_address}" is used to start a Cockpit WebSocket server with a specified IP address.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

"cockpit-ws": This is the actual command to start the Cockpit WebSocket server.
"--address": This is an option or flag used to specify the IP address on which the server will listen for incoming connections.
"${ip_address}": This is a placeholder for the actual IP address that you need to provide. In most cases, you would replace "${ip_address}" with the specific IP address you want the server to use. It could be an IPv4 address like "192.168.1.100" or an IPv6 address like "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334".

By running this command with the appropriate IP address, the Cockpit WebSocket server will start, and it will be accessible at the specified IP address for WebSocket connections.
