Question AlmaLinux + Cockpit + Plesk

[Tr3Mendo]

Server operating system version

AlmaLinux 9

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18

I have Cockpit installed on AlmaLinux 9 to control the server at a basic level, without add-ons.

And Plesk to control the different hosts and websites.

How can I access cockpit without using the server's IP, with a sumdomain?

To access Cockpit without using the server's IP address and instead using a subdomain, you can set up a reverse proxy in Plesk. Here's how you can do it:

1. Log in to your Plesk panel.
2. Go to Websites & Domains for the domain/subdomain you want to use to access Cockpit.
3. Click on Apache & nginx Settings.
4. In the Additional Apache directives section, add the following lines:

ProxyPass /cockpit http://server-IP:9090
ProxyPassReverse /cockpit http://server-IP:9090

Make sure to replace server-IP with the actual IP address of your server where Cockpit is running.
5. Click OK to save the changes.

After setting up the reverse proxy, you should be able to access Cockpit using the subdomain you configured in Plesk. Just enter the subdomain in your browser followed by /cockpit (e.g., subdomain.example.com/cockpit) to access Cockpit without using the server's IP address.

Hello, thank you very much for your response.

According to your answer, when I access http://cockpit.myserver.com/cockpit, the browser URL automatically returns to http://ip-server.com:9090

- The important thing about this is to access from the domain, without seeing the IP.

- I would like to access directly from cockpit.myserver.com

Thank you very much.

Try this instead for the cockpit sub-domain...

ProxyPass / http://server-ip:9090
ProxyPassReverse / http://server-ip:9090

or for HTTPS (if subdomain has SSL certificate installed)...

ProxyPass / https://server-ip:9090
ProxyPassReverse / https://server-ip:9090

It still doesn't work. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you very much.

I've kept trying options, and now it works, thank you all so much!

Good to read you've been able to make it work. Can you share what options you've end up using, so other users can learn from it too?
