cockpit-ws: Start without TLS.

cockpit-ws

$ cockpit-ws --no-tls

try on your machine

The command "cockpit-ws --no-tls" is used to start the Cockpit web server without enabling SSL/TLS encryption.

Cockpit is a web-based administration tool that allows users to manage and monitor their Linux systems remotely. By default, Cockpit uses SSL/TLS encryption to secure the communication between the web browser and the Cockpit server.

By appending "--no-tls" to the command, you are instructing the Cockpit web server to run without SSL/TLS encryption. This means that the communication between the web browser and the Cockpit server will be transmitted over plain HTTP instead of HTTPS.

It's important to note that running Cockpit without SSL/TLS encryption is less secure as the data exchanged between the browser and the server could potentially be intercepted or modified by unauthorized individuals. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use SSL/TLS encryption to protect the communication when using Cockpit, especially if it is being accessed remotely over untrusted networks.
