Fix software updates in Cockpit in Ubuntu 20.04

Software updates on the Ubuntu system will fail because Cockpit on Ubuntu doesn't detect a network connection. To fix this, you must use NetworkManager instead of the default networkd.

You need to be root or sudo root for all these commands. Edit your netplan file in /etc/netplan and add the following two lines under network:. 

version: 2
renderer: NetworkManager

Remember that spaces matter in YAML files.

You will then need install network-manager. 

apt install network-manager

Disable networkd. 

systemctl disable systemd-networkd

Enable NetworkManager 

systemctl enable network-manager

Apply your new settings 

netplan apply

Profit!

Allow rrdcached, memcache, and MariaDB/MySQL through the firewall in CentOS 8

Open ports 42217 (rrdcached) and 11211 (memcached) in the firewall and reload the firewall. 

firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port 42217/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port 11211/tcp
firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port 3306/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

Verify that the ports are open using firewall-cmd –-list-all.
