Virtualmin is an open-source and powerful web control panel for Linux operating systems. It is designed to manage multiple virtual hosts, email domains, databases, and web applications. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install Virtualmin on Kali Linux Latest.
Before we start the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
Virtualmin requires a valid hostname and domain name to function. To configure this, open the /etc/hosts file with a text editor and add the following line:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
Next, set your fully qualified domain name (FQDN) using the hostnamectl command:
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname domain.com
Open a new terminal window and add the Virtualmin repository to the apt sources list using the following commands:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/debian virtualmin-stretch main'
Once you have added the Virtualmin repository, run the following commands to install Virtualmin:
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
This may take a while depending on your internet connection speed.
After the installation is complete, you can access the Virtualmin web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to https://yourdomain.com:10000.
Note: If you get a security warning, it is safe to proceed as Virtualmin is a trusted software package.
Virtualmin is an essential web control panel for managing multiple virtual hosts, email domains, databases, and web applications. By installing it on Kali Linux, you can manage your web server with ease. We hope this guide was helpful in installing Virtualmin on Kali Linux Latest.
