Prerequisites

You’ll need to be logged in as root or user with sudo access to be able to install packages.

Installing Webmin on Debian

Installing Webmin on Debian Linux is a simple and easy process that takes only minutes. The package is available from the official Webmin repositories.

1. First, update the package index and install the dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https wget

1. Import the Webmin GPG key using the following wget command and enable the Webmin repository:

wget -q http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib"

1. Once the repository is enabled, install the Webmin package by running:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install webmin

1. On successful installation, the following output will be printed:

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

1. The Webmin service will start automatically.

That’s it! Webmin has been installed on your Debian Linux server.

Adjust the Firewall

By default, Webmin listens for connections on port 10000 on all network interfaces. If your server runs a firewall, you’ll need to open the Webmin port.

UFW users can open port 10000 by typing:

sudo ufw allow 10000/tcp
