Webmin is an open-source web-based control panel that allows administrators to manage their servers and services through a simple, easy-to-use interface. Installing Webmin on FreeBSD Latest is a straightforward process that can be completed in just a few steps.
Before starting the installation process, you will need to ensure that you have root access to your FreeBSD Latest server and that your server is up to date.
Webmin requires Perl, so the first step is to install Perl on your FreeBSD Latest server. You can install Perl using the following command:
pkg install perl5
Next, you'll need to download the Webmin package from the Webmin website. To download the package, use the following commands:
cd /usr/local/src
fetch http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-x.y.z.tar.gz
Note: Replace "x.y.z" with the version number of the package you wish to download. You can find the latest version on the Webmin website.
Once the package has been downloaded, extract it using the following command:
tar -xzvf webmin-x.y.z.tar.gz
Note: Again, replace "x.y.z" with the version number of the package you downloaded.
To install Webmin on your FreeBSD Latest server, run the setup.sh script from the extracted package as follows:
cd webmin-x.y.z
./setup.sh
This will launch the Webmin setup script, which will guide you through the installation process. The script will ask you a few questions, including the location of your Perl interpreter and the port number that Webmin should listen on.
Once you've completed the setup process, Webmin should be installed and running on your FreeBSD Latest server.
To access Webmin, open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:
https://your_server_IP_address:10000/
Note: Replace "your_server_IP_address" with the IP address of your FreeBSD Latest server.
You should now be prompted to enter your administrator username and password. Once you've logged in, you'll be able to access the Webmin dashboard and start managing your server and services through the Webmin interface.
Installing Webmin on FreeBSD Latest is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. By following this tutorial, you should now have Webmin up and running on your FreeBSD Latest server and be ready to start managing your server and services through 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!
