How do I sign in to my Webmin panel?

Apps 110 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Webmin is ready". The page refreshes itself.
  3. Open the link in the Panel address row. Enter the details from the Login and Password rows.

Your first site

  1. On first sign-in the Post-Installation Wizard asks a few questions. You can accept the defaults.
  2. Point your domain's A record to your server's IP address.
  3. On the Virtualmin tab, add your domain with Create Virtual Server.

Good to know

  • The password in the panel is for Webmin only. Your SSH password does not change.
  • The panel runs on port 10000. This small install has no local mail, DNS, FTP, spam and virus filtering or Jailkit. According to the Virtualmin docs, you can install their packages and turn them on later under System Settings, Features and Plugins.
  • Only 22, 80, 443 and 10000 are open in the firewall. If you turn on a new service, open its port yourself with ufw allow.

No server yet? Order a server with Webmin installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
