Administrate your Linux system using your web browser

Linux is great, but granted, sometime it can feel a little complicated. Installing and configuring software always start with a Google: “howto install XXX Ubuntu 18.04”

Webmin is a superb administration software that lets you do most of the standard stuff directly in the browser.

Install it like this:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add this line to the end of the file

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib

Next, add the Webmin PGP key so that your system will trust the new repository:

wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
sudo apt-key add jcameron-key.asc

sudo apt update
sudo apt install webmin

Output
Webmin install complete. You can now login to
https://your_server_ip:10000 as root with your
root password, or as any user who can use `sudo`.
