I tried Cockpit to manage my Raspberry Pi and regret not using it sooner

Monitoring the health of a Raspberry Pi server without a GUI is tricky. Running commands in the Terminal over SSH sounded cool, but I wasn't aware of the high system usage and overheating issues. So, I tried Cockpit, a web-based GUI for system health monitoring for Linux servers, to manage my Raspberry Pi and realized how it was sorely missing from the bouquet of my self-hosted apps.
