Help & FAQ
What is PiCockpit?
PiCockpit is a versatile and user-friendly web interface to control one or more Raspberry Pi nodes.
Why PiCockpit?
PiCockpit offers many advantages for controlling your Raspberry Pi nodes.
When you have more than one Raspberry Pi, it can be unwieldy to attempt to manage all of them. PiCockpit provides you with the tools to easily manage all your nodes in one place.
And because PiCockpit runs in a web browser, you have full remote access to your Raspberry Pi fleet. You can control each Raspberry Pi from anywhere in the world.
We use well-established technology to offer a strong, stable, and reliable platform.
