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.
To start the installation, first mount the AlmaLinux ISO.
Mounting the AlmaLinux ISO Image
To mount the ISO select the CD-ROM Tab and select the AlmaLinux ISO from the drop-down named AlmaLinux 9 x86_64 and click on Mount button.
Please note: The ISO mount may take upto 2-3 minutes to complete.
Once the ISO has mounted (Task Log tab will show the status of the task), navigate to “Power Control” tab and then perform a Reboot task on the server.
Now, Switch to the VNC Tab and click on “Launch VNC” to launch the web based VNC console to start the AlmaLinux installation.
If the VPS hasn’t booted yet into the AlmaLinux installer, please click on the CTRL+ALT+DEL button from the VNC console to send a reboot signal to the VPS to boot into the installer.
Once we have booted into the AlmaLinux installer,
Select “Install AlmaLinux”
