Webmin is a web-based system administration tool for Unix-like systems, including Linux and BSD. It provides a graphical interface that allows system administrators to manage various aspects of the server through a web browser, eliminating the need to manually edit configuration files or use command-line tools for routine tasks.

What Is Webmin?

Webmin is a powerful, open-source, web-based system administration tool designed to simplify the management of Unix-like operating systems, including Linux, BSD, and Solaris. Instead of relying solely on the command line, system administrators can use Webmin’s intuitive graphical interface to perform a wide range of administrative tasks directly through a web browser. These tasks include managing user accounts, configuring network services like Apache, DNS (BIND), FTP, and mail servers (Postfix, Dovecot), controlling firewalls, installing software packages, setting up scheduled jobs (cron), and viewing system logs. Webmin is highly modular, consisting of hundreds of pluggable modules that allow it to support almost every major service on a typical Linux server.

  • Webmin is written in Perl.
  • It runs as a web server on your system and can be accessed via a web browser (usually on port 10000).
  • It supports modular configuration, meaning you can manage different services (Apache, DNS, FTP, Mail, etc.) through modules.
