Webmin is an open source, web based system administration tool for Unix/Linux. Using Webmin, you can setup and configure all services such as DNS, DHCP, Apache, NFS, and Samba etc via any modern web browsers. So, you don’t have to remember all commands or edit any configuration files manually.
Install Webmin On Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.04 and 16.04 LTS using official repository
Add the webmin official repository:
Edit file /etc/apt/sources.list,
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following lines:
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib deb http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib
Add the GPG key:
sudo wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc sudo apt-key add jcameron-key.asc
Update the sources list:
sudo apt-get update
Install webmin using the following command:
sudo apt-get install webmin
Allow the webmin default port “10000” via firewall, if you want to access the webmin console from a remote system.
sudo ufw allow 10000
Access Webmin console
Open up your browser and navigate to the URL https://ip-address:10000/. The following screen should appear. Enter the user name and password to log in to webmin console.
This is how my Webmin Dashboard looked.
That’s it. Now you’ll be able to manage and configure your Ubuntu server graphically. Cheers!
