Note: Virtualmin is a control panel designed for Linux-based web hosting servers. Therefore, it is not possible to install Virtualmin on Windows 11 directly. However, you can use a virtual machine to install a Linux-based OS and then install Virtualmin on it.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following:
Download and install a virtual machine software of your choice on your Windows 11 system.
Download the Linux distribution you want to install on your virtual machine. For example, if you want to install Ubuntu, download the latest ISO file from the Ubuntu website.
Create a new virtual machine and configure it. Choose the Linux distribution you downloaded in step 2 as the guest OS.
Start the virtual machine and install the Linux distribution on it. You can follow the installation instructions provided by the Linux distribution.
Once the Linux distribution is installed, log in to the virtual machine and open the terminal.
Download the Virtualmin installer script by running the following command:
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
Make the script executable by running the following command:
chmod +x install.sh
Run the installer script by running the following command:
./install.sh
Follow the on-screen instructions to install Virtualmin. You will be asked to provide some information like your hostname and domain name.
Once the installation is complete, you can access the Virtualmin control panel by opening a web browser and navigating to https://your-server-ip-address:10000/.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install Virtualmin on Windows 11 by using a virtual machine. Virtualmin is a powerful control panel that allows you to manage your Linux-based web hosting server 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!
