Terminal emulators, which can run SSH clients, are absolutely possible on a mobile device. https://termux.dev/en/

I know. Android is a capable platform. I'm just not going to use it on a mobile device without a keyboard, sorry.

There are countless terminal emulators for iOS that support ssh. Termius, prompt, and blink off the top of my head.

And using any of them is more of a hassle than just using cockpit instead.

Possible and usable aren't the same thing. You can run it on an android watch as well, but would you?

I use Termux to do SSH once in a a while. It makes me want to install a web UI to be honest. Most of the time I'm fumbling my long sudo password to restart some systemd service that crashed or manually running a maintenance script, that stuff is a massive pain on touch screens.

> A mobile device. I don't use terminal emulators without access to some non-touch keyboard so I want a simple interface on my mobile device.

Whether you want to use a terminal emulator on your phone doesn't change whether it's available.

I wouldn't want to use a clumsy web app with dangerous buttons that put me a single mis-touch on a poorly thought out touch target away from messing up/rebooting/powering down a server from my phone either, but that doesn't change that cockpit is available.

> Sure then compare cockpit with other webmin-esque tools, not a terminal emulator.

You compare it to the options available, which includes both terminals and webmin equivalents.

I don't know if there's much of a space left for cockpit or webmin equivalents though. There's hypervisors with dedicated UIs like Proxmox and oVirt, but that's not the same.
