Webmin is a powerful and easy-to-use web-based interface for system administration tasks on Linux systems. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Webmin on the latest version of Linux Mint.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
The first step is to ensure your system is up-to-date. To do this, open a terminal and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Webmin requires several dependencies to be installed on your system. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https wget
Now we will add the Webmin repository key to our system. Execute the following command to add it:
wget -q http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Next, we will add the Webmin repository to our APT sources list. Execute the following command:
echo "deb https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webmin.list
After adding the repository, it is essential to update the APT cache to include the Webmin repository. Run the following command:
sudo apt update
Finally, we can install Webmin by running the following command:
sudo apt install webmin
Webmin is now installed on your system. You can access it by entering the following URL in your browser:
https://<your-server-ip>:10000/
You will see a warning message about the certificate, but you can ignore it and proceed to the login page. Use your Linux Mint username and password to log in.
In this tutorial, we have shown you the steps to install Webmin on Linux Mint. With Webmin, you can easily manage your system configuration through a web-based 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!
