How to install Webmin on Ubuntu server

If you're looking for on easier way to manage your server then you can use webmin to remotely manage Linux servers. In this case I got a tutorial for installing it on Ubuntu server.

I would suggest to not allow traffice out side of your network to be able to get to webmin for security. So don't forget to block access to port 1000 from outside of the network, or the port that you set webmin too.

How to install Webmin

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.470_all.deb

Note: make shore that the version is up to date.
You can go to webmin.com and to the downloud area to get the up to date URL(version)

Now we have webmin_1.470_all.deb package you need to install using the following command

sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.470_all.deb

If your servercomplains that there is some library things does not find. Just run the following command

sudo apt- get install -f

You should now be able to login to Webmin at the URL https://localhost:10000/
You can also use the server name too.
