Raspberry Pi/Linux - Installing Webmin

Today I’m going to show you how to install webmin on you Raspberry Pi or other linux machines. I tested this on a Raspberry Pi.


On The Cli

On the CLI of the machine you want to install Webmin, just do.

sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python

wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/1.870/webmin_1.870_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.870_all.deb

now Webmin should be installed and running.


On a Browser

Let’s access Webmin, just swap the 192.168.10.20 IP with the IP where you installed webmin, and access it on the browser like this:

https://192.168.10.20:10000

and login to webmin:

the user and pasword are you machines’s local linux users and passwords.

Now you start managing you linux from a Gui :)

My main goal personally was to have a Gui to manage DNS (Bind), which becomes quite easy with webmin.:
