How to Edit Your Panel Endpoint Print

Cockpit exposes the current panel endpoint in the Settings page and lets you update it through a dedicated Edit Endpoint modal. This gives you one place to review and correct the address tied to the account profile.

When to Use This

• Your panel URL has changed.
• You want to replace an old or temporary endpoint value.
• You need to correct a profile-level endpoint after migration.
• You want to check the current endpoint stored by Cockpit.

Where the Endpoint Appears

In Settings, Cockpit shows the current Endpoint with an Edit action. The edit modal includes a New Endpoint field pre-filled with the current value.

Steps

1. Open Settings.
2. Locate the Endpoint row.
3. Click Edit.
4. Replace the existing endpoint with the correct one.
5. Save the change.
6. Confirm the updated value now appears in the Settings page.

Expected Result

The Settings page should display the new endpoint after the change is saved.

Common Mistakes

• Saving a temporary hostname: Use the real stable endpoint you intend to keep.
• Changing the value without testing access: Confirm the destination URL is actually the working panel address.
• Ignoring old migration leftovers: Endpoint fields often need cleanup after moves or domain changes.

Example Use Cases

• Domain migration: The owner updates the endpoint after moving Cockpit to a new host or domain.
• Cleanup after staging: A temporary test address is replaced with the production panel endpoint.
• Operator sanity check: The reseller confirms the account is pointing at the right public panel address.
