Complete deployment plan for installing Cockpit web terminal on all 5 remaining servers (Command Center, Billing VPS, Panel VPS, TX1, NC1). Ghost VPS already has Cockpit operational. Files created: - docs/tasks/cockpit-deployment/README.md - Task overview - docs/tasks/cockpit-deployment/deployment-plan.md - Technical strategy - docs/tasks/cockpit-deployment/installation-commands.md - Copy/paste micro-blocks Why: Enable full server management from Chromebook without SSH dependency. Claude sessions block port 22, but Cockpit (port 9090) works perfectly. Estimated time: ~1 hour for all 5 servers (~10 min each) Signed-off-by: The Chronicler <claude@firefrostgaming.com>
