Has anyone tried using Pi-Cockpit to manage and control their Raspberry Pi(es) ??

If you are interested in this, I suggest you look at the help page and the FAQ to find out about pricing and other things that will inform you about it.

A quick read looks like the "free" versions all have some type of pop up ad's to show you. This tells me the "free" is one more way to gather your data. Didn't find what info they want to sign up or download but I'm immediately suspicious. Doesn't fit with my standard never let anyone connect to my stuff. Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

Why not just use actual [Cockpit](https://cockpit-project.org/)?
