Server Component Administration Tools for Linux?

Question

linux

Windows Server is a turnkey solution for deploying server applications. It has everything from the server components themselves to their administration interfaces. for example:
1) Active Directory Domain Services is a single authorization platform for both corporate users and company clients.
2) Using IIS, you can deploy a Web, FTP, and WebDAV server. IIS Manager has a convenient configuration interface, statistics and security auditing are displayed.
3) Using WinSSHD, you can raise an SSH server. Pros: User-friendly setup interface with many features.
Linux distributions, BSD-like systems, and even MacOS provide a much wider range of possibilities. However, there you need to manually edit the config files. Statistics should be collected from logs. And if everything breaks, but you have to pick the system, looking for the error in which file.

Are there Linux management interfaces like "Server Manager" and RSAT in Windows Server? How to put them?

Answer 1

You can look in the direction of webmin, zentyal, clearOS, and a dozen more of them. The last two are special distributions, zentyal wanted money here, clearOS also had paid plugins for additional features.
In short, a complete replacement, and even free of charge, is most likely simply not and cannot be. Programmers don't work for free. And open source, oddly enough, is monetized, only in a slightly different form, not like originally commercial products.

Answer 2

Did you go there? (c)
Judging by the question, you want to administer Linux, but Windows-way. That won't work.
And wrapping various panels over your zoo of services will only delay the inevitable moment of collapse with a subsequent escape, or a change in the paradigm of thinking.

Answer 3

When you ask yourself the question "Is there software X for Linux", you should first of all think - who needs it? How many people need it?
There is no, never was and never will be an interface that isolates the administrator from the system in Linux (an exception is the webmaster panel). Why?
Because linux admins prefer to understand the process, understand what is happening, and when there is an understanding, there are no problems and fix the config and whatever. A lot of actions in linux are done faster than in Windows - simply because you don’t have to wade through cascades of menus.
And Windows admins prefer monkey-style - click there, click here. Yes, there are tasks where gui makes it easier to solve - for example, compiling rules for iptables. But for the most part gui slows down the work .
In Linux, for example, there is webmin - but this is just such a mega-config editor - it facilitates the work of the admin, but does not isolate him from the system. And the Windows guis offer themselves instead of the system - you either use them, or you don't. As a result, instead of understanding how this or that parameter will affect the operation of the program, the mechanism of work is formed "if A - then poke here, move here, if B - then switch from here to here" absolutely without understanding what is being done with the program.

Answer 4

Formally, any Linuxoid will say that the remote control tool is ssh, the console and regular repositories of packages with applications for every taste and color (and the Internet for documentation, since offline it will be terribly inconvenient).
But there is no beautiful and convenient graphical interface for everything at once .

Answer 5

Most likely, the author needs some kind of TsPanel or ispmanager, poke buttons

Answer 6

Yes keep

sudo dnf group info "Graphical Administration Tools"

Group: Graphical Administration Tools
 Description: Graphical system administration tools for managing many aspects of a system.
 Optional Packages:
   gnome-disk-utility
   policycoreutils-gui
   setools-console
   setroubleshoot
   wireshark

to the heap all enterprise packages contain either a gui or a web panel.
The problem is that Linux is mainly used for simple tasks. And it is easier to automate by editing configs or by an automation script in case of mass actions.
