Virtualmin is a popular and powerful web hosting control panel that allows users to manage multiple websites, domains, and email accounts from a single interface. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Virtualmin on a NetBSD server.
Before installing any new software on your server, it is important to update the system to ensure that all packages and libraries are up to date.
pkgin update
Virtualmin requires several dependencies to operate. Run the following command to install the necessary packages:
pkgin install lang/perl5 www/apache24 devel/pcre devel/glib2 www/mod_fcgid mail/postfix database/mysql55-server lang/php74
To download the latest Virtualmin installer script, use the wget command to download the script directly from Virtualmin's website.
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
Once you have downloaded the installation script, run the following command to begin the installation:
sh install.sh
This will start the installation process and guide you through the setup of Virtualmin on your server. Follow the prompts carefully to ensure that your installation is successful.
After the installation process is complete, restart the Apache and MySQL services for the changes to take effect:
service apache24 restart
service mysql restart
Once the installation and setup are complete, you can access the Virtualmin web interface at:
https://your_server_ip:10000
By following these simple steps, you can easily install and set up Virtualmin on your NetBSD server. This powerful tool will help you manage your website hosting with ease and efficiency.
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!
