Hi Bernd,

What are your "other systems"?


Cockpit 164 was released on Mar 21, 2018 — it's over 2 years old. There have been many, many changes to Cockpit over the past 2 years.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, you're able to enable the extras repository to install Cockpit. (RHEL 8 does not require extras.)

Modern versions of Cockpit are available in "backports" for both Debian and Ubuntu.

(I think everywhere else should automatically have newer versions of Cockpit...)


As you have mentioned the latest version of Ubuntu LTS, I'm going to guess that the other systems might be the previous version of Ubuntu LTS? If so, backports are probably the way to go:


More information on installing Cockpit on various distributions is available at https://cockpit-project.org/running.html — including links to additional documentation (within the Cockpit project website and also offsite too).

Hopefully this helps!

Cheers,
Garrett
