Webmin<\/strong> is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix-like systems. It allows you to manage your server easily without needing to know the command line. In this guide, we will walk through the steps to install Webmin on Rocky Linux 8 and secure it with a free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Update Your System<\/h2>\n

Start by updating your system to ensure all packages are current:<\/p>\n

sudo dnf update<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 2: Install Required Packages<\/h2>\n
Webmin requires certain dependencies. Install them using the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo dnf install -y perl perl-Net-SSLeay perl-IO-Socket-SSL<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 3: Download and Install Webmin<\/h2>\n
Download the latest version of Webmin. You can find the download link on the Webmin download page<\/a>. Use wget<\/code> to download the RPM package:<\/p>\n
wget http:\/\/www.webmin.com\/download\/rpm\/latest\/gpgkey\r\nsudo rpm --import gpgkey\r\nwget http:\/\/www.webmin.com\/download\/rpm\/latest\/webmin-current.rpm<\/code><\/pre>\n
Next, install the downloaded RPM package:<\/p>\n
sudo rpm -U webmin-current.rpm<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 4: Configure Firewall<\/h2>\n
Allow Webmin through the firewall:<\/p>\n
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=10000\/tcp\r\nsudo firewall-cmd --reload<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 5: Start Webmin<\/h2>\n
Webmin should start automatically. If it doesn\u2019t, you can start it with the following command:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start webmin\r\nsudo systemctl enable webmin<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 6: Access Webmin<\/h2>\n
Open your web browser and navigate to:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/your_server_ip:10000<\/code><\/pre>\n
You will be prompted to log in using your root or sudo user credentials.<\/p>\n
Step 7: Install Certbot for Let’s Encrypt<\/h2>\n
To secure Webmin with SSL, you need to install Certbot. Run the following commands:<\/p>\n
sudo dnf install certbot python3-certbot-apache<\/code><\/pre>\n
Step 8: Obtain a Free Let’s Encrypt SSL Certificate<\/h2>\n
Run the following command to obtain the SSL certificate:<\/p>\n
sudo certbot --apache -d your_domain<\/code><\/pre>\n
Replace your_domain<\/code> with your actual domain name. Follow the prompts to complete the process.<\/p>\n
Step 9: Configure Webmin to Use SSL<\/h2>\n
Edit the Webmin configuration file to enable SSL:<\/p>\n
sudo nano \/etc\/webmin\/miniserv.conf<\/code><\/pre>\n
Find the line that starts with ssl=<\/code> and change it to:<\/p>\n
ssl=1<\/code><\/pre>\n
Save the file and restart Webmin:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl restart webmin<\/code><\/pre>\n
