Being 2014, there's also support for containers and the ability to start Docker via Cockpit.

From the secure web UI it's also possible to reboot/shutdown the Fedora 21 system.

Cockpit is still a work-in-progress and wasn't totally bug-free.

It's possible to easily add more supported hosts to Cockpit for managing multiple servers from the same interface.

It's also possible to gain a web-based, root terminal for rescue purposes with Cockpit.
