Change Cockpit Listener

Change Listener Port and Address for Cockpit

Where Cockpit is being run on a server with other web resources the default port of TCP 9090 may already be bound by another process. A common example is where Cockpit and Prometheus are on the same server and trying to use their default ports.

Change Cockpit Listener

1. edit /etc/syst/system/cockpit.socket.d/listen.conf
   • cockpit.socket.d may not exist as a directory create it if required
   • listen.conf may not exist as a file create it if required
2. Declare a Socket
   • Include port(s) and address(es) as required

   • The FreeBind option is highly recommended when defining specific IP addresses.

       [Socket]
       ListenStream=
       ListenStream=443
     
       or
     
       [Socket]
       ListenStream=
       ListenStream=192.168.1.1:443
       FreeBind=yes
