Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration tasks such as configuring Apache, PostgreSQL, and DNS. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of installing Webmin on a Fedora server.
Before installing any new software, it is recommended that you update your system to the latest packages.
To update your system, open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf upgrade
To install Webmin, we need to add the Webmin repository to our system. We can do this by downloading the Webmin RPM file and adding it to our system's YUM repository.
Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo dnf install wget
Then, download the RPM file by running:
sudo wget http://www.webmin.com/download/rpm/webmin-current.rpm
Next, install the RPM file by entering:
sudo dnf install webmin-current.rpm
After installing Webmin, we need to start its service. We can do this by using the systemctl command in the terminal.
Run the following command to start the Webmin service:
sudo systemctl start webmin
If you want to enable Webmin to automatically start at boot, enter the following command:
sudo systemctl enable webmin
Webmin is now installed and ready to use. You can access the Webmin interface by opening your web browser and entering the following URL:
https://your_ip_address:10000
Replace "your_ip_address" with your server's IP address.
You should see the Webmin login screen. Enter the root username and password to access the Webmin web interface.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Webmin on a Fedora server. With Webmin, you can easily manage your server's configuration and perform system administration tasks 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!
