Installation - before 2.00
Webmin is easy to install on most systems. Just select your distribution, and follow the instructions.

pkg (FreeBSD)
Installation of Webmin on FreeBSD is simple using the pkg system. This should be done as a root user and will also work on FreeNAS inside of a Jail. If installing in a FreeNAS jail, use passwd to set a root password before installation. This should work on any FreeBSD based system using pkg.
As root, run:
pkg update pkg install webmin /usr/local/lib/webmin/setup.sh echo "webmin_enable="YES"" >> /etc/rc.conf /usr/local/etc/rc.d/webmin start
apt (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)
sudo apt install curl curl -o setup-repos.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/webmin/webmin/master/setup-repos.sh sudo sh setup-repos.sh sudo apt install --install-recommends webmin
yum (CentOS/RedHat/Fedora)
You can add the Webmin repository (webmin-repo) and use Jamie Cameron's key to install and maintain the latest version of Webmin/Usermin. The commands below add the Webmin repository and the corresponding GPG key to your system and install the latest version of Webmin. Yum will resolve all dependencies.
Just input or copy and paste the text below and hit Enter/Return:
(echo "[Webmin] name=Webmin Distribution Neutral baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc" >/etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo; yum -y install webmin)
CentOS 9 stream
(echo "[Webmin] name=Webmin Distribution Neutral baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum enabled=1" >/etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo; rpm --import https://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc yum -y install openssl openssl-devel yum -y install perl perl-Net-SSLeay perl-Crypt-SSLeay yum -y install webmin)
zypper (SUSE)
Very similar to the yum commands. You can add the Webmin repository here, too, and the command to import Jamie Cameron's key is the same. Just input or copy and paste the text below and hit Enter/Return:
(echo "[Webmin] name=Webmin Distribution Neutral baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum enabled=1" >/etc/zypp/repos.d/webmin.repo; rpm --import http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc zypper -n install openssl libopenssl-devel zypper -n install perl perl-Net-SSLeay perl-Crypt-SSLeay zypper -n install webmin)
At least in openSUSE 13.2 and from SLES 11 on, the development package for openssl is named libopenssl-devel. In older versions, this may still be named openssl-devel.
Windows
- Installing Webmin on Windows - HOWTO
Post installation
Once Webmin is installed and runing, you can access Webmin via the IP or web address you supplied or were given by the system. Specify port 10000.
Example:
https://192.168.1.100:10000/
If the Webmin server doesn't respond, you might need to adjust firewall settings to allow port 10000.
IPTables
Make sure the Linux Firewall allows port 10000.
iptables-save > /tmp/tabsav vi /tmp/tabsav iptables-restore < /tmp/tabsav
Use the commands above to make the firewall rules look like this:
# Generated by iptables-save v1.4.7 on Thu Sep 26 00:02:49 2013 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [3044:1198306] -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p icmp -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 10000 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited -A FORWARD -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited COMMIT # Completed on Thu Sep 26 00:02:49 2013
