Introduction#
Webmin is a powerful and intuitive web-based interface for managing Unix-like systems, including Ubuntu. This guide will walk you through the steps to install Webmin on your system.
Setting up the Repository#
Setup#
The simplest and best way to get Webmin is to use automatic webmin-setup-repo.sh script
to configure repositories on your RHEL or Debian derivative systems. It can be done in two easy steps:
curl -o webmin-setup-repo.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webmin/webmin/master/webmin-setup-repo.sh
After that has downloaded. run the following command:
sudo sh webmin-setup-repo.sh
This script will automatically setup your repository and install our GPG keys on your system.
Install#
If Webmin repository was setup using our webmin-setup-repo.sh as described
above then Webmin can be installed as easy as:
sudo apt-get install webmin --install-recommends
Access#
After successful Webmin installation, you can access its interface by
entering https://<Your-Server-IP>:10000 in your browser. Check that your firewall configuration allows
access through port 10000.
Conclusion#
You have successfully installed Webmin on your Ubuntu system. Remember to replace your-ubuntu-server-ip with
the actual IP address of your server and access it using a secure connection (HTTPS).
Note: Make sure you have a valid SSH key or password set up for root user, as Webmin requires authentication.
