Virtualmin is a popular web hosting control panel that provides a graphical user interface to manage multiple websites and servers. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Virtualmin on your Arch Linux server.
Before installing any software on your Arch Linux server, it is always recommended to update your system to the latest available packages.
pacman -Syu
Virtualmin has a list of dependencies that need to be installed in order to run smoothly. You can install all the required dependencies using the following command.
pacman -S perl perl-xml-simple perl-digest-sha1 perl-crypt-eksblowfish perl-io-pipely perl-io-tee perl-encode-detect perl-json perl-libwww perl-lwp-protocol-https perl-sys-syscall perl-net-ip perl-net-dns perl-net-ssleay perl-text-unidecode procmail postfix unzip wget
Once you have installed all the required dependencies, download the Virtualmin installation script using wget command.
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
After downloading the script, run it with root privileges.
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
The installation script will run an interactive wizard that will guide you through the whole installation process. You will be asked to provide information about your server, like IP address, hostname, domain name, and administrator password.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the Virtualmin control panel by opening your web browser and typing your server's IP address followed by :10000.
https://your_server_ip:10000
You can now log in to the Virtualmin control panel using the administrator username and password that you provided during the installation.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Virtualmin on your Arch Linux server. You can now use it to manage multiple websites and servers with ease.
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!
