You got to a point when you’re ready to have a control panel for your VPS, to control and configure using the browser, to take over the world. One solution for this would be Webmin.
A free , open source control panel with a nice web interface and a plethora of modules , available on several operating systems.
To install it, there are a few simple commands. But first, get a VPS from MVPS.NET to get started.
This will add the Webmin repo which translates to easy maintenance updates.
Debian/Ubuntu
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webmin.list' wget -qO - http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install webmin
CentOS/RHEL
(echo "[Webmin] name=Webmin Distribution Neutral baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc" >/etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo; yum -y install webmin)
Usage:
After the install is completed, the default port is 10000. To access it, go to your VPS IP and that port:
https://YourIP:10000/
Make sure port 10000 is allowed in the firewall if you’re having trouble accessing it.
That’s it! Enjoy your fresh and modern control panel!
