Webmin is a web-based system administration tool that allows you to manage various aspects of your Linux server through a web browser. It provides an intuitive interface for tasks like user management, filesystem management, package updates, and more.
Before installing Webmin, it's recommended to update the system packages to the latest version. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf update
Webmin is not available in the default CentOS 8 repositories, so we'll add the Webmin repository manually. Create a new repository file using your preferred text editor:
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo
Then, add the following lines to the file:
[Webmin] name=Webmin Distribution Neutral mirrorlist=https://download.webmin.com/download/yum/mirrorlist enabled=1
Import the GPG key used by the Webmin repository to verify package integrity. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
Now it's time to install Webmin. Run the following command to install the package:
sudo dnf install webmin
After the installation is complete, start the Webmin service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start webmin
You can also enable the service to start automatically on system boot by running:
sudo systemctl enable webmin
Webmin runs on port 10000 by default. Open your web browser and enter the following URL:
https://your_server_ip:10000
Replace "your_server_ip" with the actual IP address of your CentOS 8 server. You may see a security warning due to the self-signed SSL certificate used by Webmin. Proceed to the website to login.
That's it! You have successfully installed and accessed Webmin on your CentOS 8 server. You can now use the web interface to manage your server's configuration and settings.
