Virtualmin is a powerful and easy-to-use web hosting control panel for Linux and UNIX systems. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing Virtualmin on Elementary OS Latest.
Before we begin with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
The first step is to set up the hostname of your server. To do this, run the following command:
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname example.com
Replace example.com with your own FQDN.
Next, edit the /etc/hosts file and add the following line:
127.0.0.1 example.com
Save and close the file.
Restart the networking service:
sudo systemctl restart networking
In this step, we will install the required packages for Virtualmin.
Update the package list:
sudo apt update
Install the following packages:
sudo apt -y install wget gnupg software-properties-common apt-transport-https
Next, add the Virtualmin repository key and repository to your system using the following commands:
wget https://download.virtualmin.com/virtualmin.gpg
sudo apt-key add virtualmin.gpg
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt virtualmin-$(lsb_release -cs) main"
Now, you can install Virtualmin by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install virtualmin-base
This command will install Virtualmin along with all of its dependencies.
After the installation finishes, you can access the Virtualmin control panel by opening your web browser and navigating to:
https://example.com:10000/
Replace example.com with your own FQDN.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Virtualmin on your Elementary OS Latest server. You can now easily manage your websites, domains, and email accounts using the powerful and intuitive Virtualmin control panel.
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!
