HOWTO: WEBMIN installation on OMV

askmurphy · May 8th 2014

Ok, this is very easy ofcourse for most of us, but anyway, just to help the beginners:

http://www.webmin.com/deb.html

1) SSH with PUTTY (http://www.putty.org/) - make sure you enable SSH in your OMV panel !

2)

Code

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.760_all.deb

3) dpkg -i web (then press TAB to complete the name)

4) apt-get -f install

Done !

You can now login to https://your_server_ip:10000/ as root with your root password, or as any user who can use sudo to run commands as root.

Regards,

Arthur

I adjust your post a bit Arthur. Thanks for your enthusiasm!

It was not necessary to do your old line 3, adding all the dependencies. The "apt-get -f install" will do all that after install the webmin package.
"dpkg -i" is way to go with install. It's just less typing.

what I like about webmin, which is optimized surface for smartphones.

Another great advantage of webmin is the easy install and config of http://configserver.com/cp/csf.html as a module, which is the best firewall/security suite of scripts I've ever seen and used on linux servers. Sure, you can also install CSF standalone, but it's easier to maintain through webmin.

There are a number of modules ( what webmin calls plugins) that are useful in webmin. If you do not find a certain plugin you need in OMV it is a good place to check to see if they have one you might need. I use a module to manage Hylafax.

Webmin calls them modules. OVM calls them plugins.

Thanks for this excellent post!

I use Webmin on my other server on a daily basis and although I like the web interface of OMV there is nothing that surpasses Webmin.
