GUI config utility question
I'm preparing to switch from OpenSUSE to Fedora. What GUI app is there for configuring servers like http, NFS, etc.? Is there also a GUI for systemctl?

Not sure if it's an overkill in your case, but you could install cockpit from the official Fedora repository. There was an introduction in the Fedora Magazine.
sudo dnf install cockpit
sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit
(--permanent
makes that change to the firewall permanent)
Then: http://localhost:1001
To be very honest with you, the best GUI config tool that I know is the text editor of your choice (i.e. gedit
)
If you don't like that answer, the following may help:
system-config-httpd
(never used, so no clue if it's any good).system-config-nfs
. That has been retired (it provided very basic settings anyway). You will quickly learn to edit /etc/exports
and nfs.conf
files directly).systemctl
pretty fast to do stuff like enabling, disabling, starting, stopping, and troubleshooting services.Although using a text editor is good, Yast is one thing which OpenSUSE has that Fedora doesn't; an easy-to-use gui with all servers represented so I can quickly edit all the basic settings of any server or the firewall. It makes administration easy to be able to find everything in one place instead of having to search through the /etc directory tree for that one file that needs edited. All I need is the basic setup for pretty much everything, and a way to enable and disable things without having to memorize long esoteric strings of commands.
