Webmin: Browser Based Managemen of Your Server

What is Webmin?

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. See the standard modules page for a list of all the functions built into Webmin.

Introduction To Webmin

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on.
Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules.

Who developed Webmin?

Almost all the development of Webmin was done by Jamie Cameron, though many people have contributed patches and translations into additional languages. There are also many third-party modules that were developed by other people separately.

Cloudmin 8.4 released

This release adds per-owner bridge limits, LXC 1.1 support, numerous fixes for newer OpenVZ and KVM versions, better handling of locked and shut-down VMs, timeouts for all remote commands (to prevent hung Cloudmin operations), and a whole bunch of other minor bugfixes.
Current users will be able to install it from our YUM and APT repositories. An installer for the Xen and KVM GPL version is available on the Cloudmin GPL for Xen and Cloudmin GPL for KVM pages.

Virtualmin 5.0 released

This major update includes Let's Encrypt support, a huge number of script installer releases, better association between logged backups and schedules, support for PHP 7 (and additional PHP installs), an API command to rename domains, the ability to exlude selected databases from backups, support for off-site spam filtering MX servers, and much more.
You can get the GPL version from the Virtualmin downloads page, or from our YUM and APT repositories.

Webmin 1.780 released

This update includes updates to the Filemin file manager and Authentic theme, and the German, Catalan, Polish and Norwegian translations. It also supports SSL certificate requests from Let's Encrypt, MySQL 5.7, automatic DNS records in partial reverse domains, and includes a bunch of other bugfixes and small features. You can get it from the Webmin downloads page, or from our YUM or APT repositories.
