Hello,

In this week’s feature highlight, we look at How to Install Webmin on AlmaLinux 9

Webmin is a web-based dashboard that allows sysadmins to manage Linux and Unix-like systems (especially servers). Webmin allows system administrators to manage user accounts, update packages, system log files, configure firewalls, email, database, postfix, etc.

First, check for any pending system updates,

dnf update

install Webmin using the following command:

yum install webmin

Access the Webmin Web Interface.

firewall-cmd --add-port=10000/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

To start Webmin, you can use the following command:

service webmin start

To access Webmin, open the URL from your web browser: https://IP_address:10000

Note:

1. When logging in for the first time, you will see an ‘invalid SSL’ warning.
2. Simply click on the ‘Advanced’ tab and then ‘Accept the risk and Continue’.

Login to the Webmin web interface using your root user and password.

Once you log in, you will be redirected to the Webmin dashboard.
