Actually from what I understood, the "cockpit service" has to remain
configured as "static", while the "cockpit socket" has to be enabled.
And in cockpit.service unit file in [Unit] section:

Requires=cockpit.socket


So in my case on a plain CentOS server acting as a node I executed:

systemctl enable cockpit.socket
systemctl start cockpit.socket

And I verified I could connect to the hypervisor on port 9090 and then also
the status of cockpit.service was "active".

In messages:

Mar 13 16:30:29 ov42 systemd: Starting Cockpit Web Service Socket.
Mar 13 16:30:29 ov42 systemd: Listening on Cockpit Web Service Socket.

And when I connect with browser to port 9090 some seconds later:

Mar 13 16:30:47 ov42 systemd: Starting Cockpit Web Service...
Mar 13 16:30:47 ov42 systemd: Started Cockpit Web Service.
Mar 13 16:30:47 ov42 cockpit-ws: Using certificate:
/etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/0-self-signed.cert
Mar 13 16:30:47 ov42 cockpit-ws: couldn't read from connection: Error
reading data from TLS socket: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
Mar 13 16:30:57 ov42 cockpit-session: pam_ssh_add: Failed adding some keys
Mar 13 16:30:57 ov42 systemd-logind: New session 3407 of user root.
Mar 13 16:30:57 ov42 systemd: Started Session 3407 of user root.
Mar 13 16:30:57 ov42 systemd: Starting Session 3407 of user root.
Mar 13 16:30:58 ov42 cockpit-ws: logged in user session
Mar 13 16:30:58 ov42 cockpit-ws: New connection to session from 10.4.4.12
...

For further stop/start of cockpit.socket, I see that the start of the
cockpit.service is instead immediate when cockpit.socket starts

eg:

Mar 13 16:37:37 ov42 systemd: Starting Cockpit Web Service Socket.
Mar 13 16:37:37 ov42 systemd: Listening on Cockpit Web Service Socket.
Mar 13 16:37:37 ov42 systemd: Starting Cockpit Web Service...
Mar 13 16:37:37 ov42 systemd: Started Cockpit Web Service.
Mar 13 16:37:37 ov42 cockpit-ws: Using certificate:
/etc/cockpit/ws-certs.d/0-self-signed.cert
