Webmin is a powerful web interface for managing Unix-based systems. It allows system administrators to perform tasks such as configuring user accounts, network settings, and system services. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Webmin on Debian Latest.
Before installing Webmin, make sure your system is updated to the latest version. Then, install the following dependencies required by Webmin:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install curl gnupg2 apt-transport-https
Next, add the Webmin repository to your system's sources.list file. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line to the end of the file:
deb https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
Save the file and exit the editor.
Import the Webmin GPG key from the command line:
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/webmin-archive-keyring.gpg
Update the package index:
sudo apt-get update
Install Webmin package:
sudo apt-get install webmin
The installation process will take some time to complete, depending on the speed of your server's network connection.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the Webmin web interface by navigating to:
https://your-server-ip:10000/
You will see a warning about an insecure connection or invalid SSL certificate. This is because Webmin ships with a self-signed certificate. Accept the warning and proceed to the login page.
Log in with your root username and password, and you will be taken to the Webmin dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Webmin on Debian Latest.
