Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix/Linux. It allows users to manage their system remotely through a graphical interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Webmin on Elementary OS Latest.
Make sure that your system is up-to-date by running the command below:
sudo apt-get update
Webmin requires some necessary dependencies like Perl, so we have to install these dependencies. Run the below command to install the dependencies.
sudo apt install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python
To install Webmin on Ubuntu, we need to add its official repository to our system's source list.
We can add Webmin's repository by running the below command:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
At the bottom of the file, copy and paste the following line:
deb https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
And then save and close the file.
Next, import the Webmin GPG key using the following command.
wget -q http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Now that the repository and GPG key are installed, we can install Webmin using the below command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install webmin
This command will install all the necessary dependencies and packages required to run Webmin on your system.
Now that you have successfully installed Webmin, you can access it from your web browser using the following URL:
https://your-server-ip:10000/
You can replace "your-server-ip" with your server's IP address.
In this tutorial, we walked you through the process of installing Webmin on Elementary OS Latest. Now, you can easily manage your system remotely using the Webmin 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!
