Webmin is a web-based system configuration tool that enables users to manage system administration tasks, such as setting up user accounts, configuring network interfaces, and installing software packages. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Webmin on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before you start, there are a few things you need to have:
Webmin requires several dependencies to be installed on your system before it can be installed successfully. To install these dependencies, open a terminal or SSH client and type the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk add perl perl-net-ssleay openssl perl-io-tty
This command will update the package list and install the necessary dependencies.
Next, download the Webmin package from the official website. To download the package, use the wget command:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.981.tar.gz
This will download the package to your current directory.
Once the package has been downloaded, extract it using the tar command:
tar -xvzf webmin-1.981.tar.gz
This will extract the package to a new directory called webmin-1.981. Change to that directory:
cd webmin-1.981
Then run the Webmin installation script with the following command:
sudo ./setup.sh
This will launch the Webmin installation wizard, which will guide you through the installation process.
Once the installation is complete, you can access Webmin by opening a web browser and navigating to:
https://[your-server-ip-address]:10000/
Note that you may need to configure your firewall settings to allow traffic on port 10000.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Webmin on Alpine Linux Latest. With Webmin, you can easily manage your system administration tasks using a web-based interface.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
