Ubuntu - Dapper: Installing Webmin

Webmin is an excellent web-based interface to your *nix based machines. There are
no webmin packages in the latest release "Dapper". This is how to install webmin to
a Dapper server install...
(Update 2/24/2008: I do this on versions of Ubuntu up to the latest beta release
also or on Debain (etch, lenny so far))

1. Install SSH
apt-get install ssh

2. Enable the universe and multiverse repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list

(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesCliHowto)

3. To make this easier use a ssh client like Putty or a Term on another machine
that has a GUI and copy/paste these commands or you can just re-type them...
Below is the source I just happened to use. If it is not working go to:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.510.tar.gz and find a working
mirror.

First become root...

sudo su

Now, lets put the webmin software somwhere that it will not get in the way.
cd /opt
mkdir webmin
cd webmin
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin-1.510.tar.gz
gzip -cd webmin-1.510.tar.gz | tar xvf -
apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libpam-runtime openssl perl
perl-modules
cd webmin*
./setup.sh

Basically just hit enter and choose SSL and the auto start the service at boot
Web server port (default 10000): (Feel Free to change this)
Login name (default admin):
Login password: AReallyGoodONE
Password again: AReallyGoodONE
Use SSL (y/n): y
Start Webmin at boot time (y/n): y
Now you can login with the user/password that you set at the
https://IpAddressOfYourMachine:10000

Installing Webmin on Dapper Server

What is Webmin?
Webmin is an excellent web-based interface to your *nix based
machines(www.webmin.com). There are no webmin packages in the latest release
"Dapper". This is how I installed webmin on my Dapper server...
Edit Jul 15 2006: as of July 2006 webmin.com has a testing deb for the full webmin
package. You can use this, but you will have to enable the root user. Following the
instructions below will avoid enabling the root account.
1. Install SSH
Code:
sudo apt-get install ssh
2. Enable the universe and multiverse repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesCliHowto)

3. To make this easier use a ssh client like Putty(Win32) or a Term on another
machine that has a GUI and copy/paste these commands or you can just re-type
them...

Below is the source I just happened to use. If it is not working go

to: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w...n-1.350.tar.gz and find a working
mirror.

Where to install Webmin?

At this point you should note that the directory that you are currently in will be
the directory that webmin gets installed into. I don't mind it being in
/home/MyAdminAccount/webmin, but if you want it somewhere else now is the time to
change to that directory. 

Doing something like this would put your installation in /opt/webmin

Code:
sudo su
Code:
mkdir /opt/webmin
and then
Code:
cd /opt/webmin
Now Download the Webmin archive...
Code:
wget http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin-1.350.tar.gz
Code:
gzip -cd webmin-1.350.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Code:
sudo apt-get install libauthen-pam-perl libnet-ssleay-perl libpam-runtime openssl
perl perl-modules
Code:
cd webmin*
Code:
./setup.sh
Basically just hit enter and choose SSL and the auto start the service at boot
Web server port (default 10000): (Feel Free to change this)
Login name (default admin):
Login password: AReallyGoodONE
Password again: AReallyGoodONE
Use SSL (y/n): y
Start Webmin at boot time (y/n): y

Now you can login with the user/password that you set at
the https://IpAddressOfYourMachine:10000
