Webmin/Virtualmin is a web-based control panel for managing Unix-like systems. It allows administrators to simplify the process of managing multiple domains, mailboxes, databases, and websites on a single server.
To install Webmin/Virtualmin on Ubuntu 18.04, follow the steps below:
Before installing any software, it is recommended to update the system packages to their latest versions. Open a terminal and run the following commands:
```html
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
```
To install Webmin, you need to add its repository to the system. Run the following commands:
```html
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
```
Add the following line at the end of the file:
```html
deb https://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
```
Press CTRL + X
to save and exit the file.
Next, add the GPG key of the repository:
```html
wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
sudo apt-key add jcameron-key.asc
```
Update the system packages again:
```html
sudo apt update
```
Now, install Webmin:
```html
sudo apt install webmin
```
During the installation, you will be prompted to configure the usage of SSL on Webmin. Choose "no" if you do not have an SSL certificate, or "yes" if you have a valid certificate.
By default, Webmin is configured to listen on port 10000. Open a web browser and enter the following URL:
```htmlhttps://your_server_ip:10000/
```Replace "your_server_ip" with the actual IP address of your server.
Accept the self-signed SSL certificate warning (if applicable) and enter your system's root username and password to log in.
If you want to install Virtualmin, a powerful web hosting control panel built on top of Webmin, you can do so by following these steps:
Run the following command to install Virtualmin's dependencies:

```
Next, download and run the Virtualmin installation script:
```html

sudo chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh
```
The installation script will guide you through the process of installing and configuring Virtualmin. Make sure to follow the instructions on the screen.
Once the installation is complete, you can access Virtualmin by visiting the following URL:
