openSUSE Leap 15.6 exited Beta and entered its Release Candidate phase with build 669.1 last week. You can get Leap 15.6 RC install images from get.opensuse....

Looks like Leap 15.6 will ship with Cockpit, which looks pretty cool.

I just set up a new VPS w/ Leap 15.5, so I’m thinking about giving this a try. I’m not a fan of YaST on the CLI, and I’m not going to install a GUI on my VPS, so being able to just SSH tunnel to the admin panel sounds really nice.

Has anyone tried Cockpit (project link for the lazy)? It seems like it can manage most popular distros, so that’s a pretty big value prop over YaST, which is pretty much only for SUSE. It looks like it’s a RedHat project, but it’s cool that openSUSE is pulling it in for 15.6.
