Webmin - A web-based system administration tool for Unix servers and services


Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and so on.
Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules.

Change Log

  • The major changes in each Webmin release are listed below. A more detailed list of changes and fixes can be found in the detailed change logs, linked below.Version 1.590 (30th June 2012)
  • Added the Shorewall6 Firewall module, a fork of the existing Shorewall module but for IPv6, contributed by Wouter van Bommel.
  • Many more German translation updates, thanks to Raymond Vetter.
  • More Dutch updates, thanks to Gandyman.
  • Catalan updates, thanks to Jaume Badiella.
  • Norwegian updates, thanks to Stein-Aksel Basma.
  • Apache virtual hosts owned by Virtualmin can no longer have their address, port, name or document directory changed.
  • The source IP and port for BIND zone transfers can now be specific on the Addresses and Topology page.
  • Added support for zone signing in the BIND module using the DNSSEC-Tools suite, thanks to a patch from Suresh Krishnaswamy.
  • Allowed the MTU to be set at boot time on Debian Linux, and fixed bugs editing VLANs, thanks to a patch to the Network Configuration module from Caspar Smit.
  • In the Disk and Network Filesystems module, updated the UI for Linux and most other operating systems to use Webmin's new UI functions.
  • Added an option to have the time synced when Webmin starts at system boot.
  • An SSL CSR can now be generated in the Webmin Configuration module, and the Webmin cert copied to Usermin.

Minimal Package
The minimal version of Webmin contains only the core API and programs, and a few modules required for its basic operation. Most modules and all themes have been left out, but can be easily added later. It can be useful if you only need some of the programs functionality, and don't want to download the entire multi-megabyte package. The 1.590 minimal tar.gz distribution can be downloaded from webmin-1.590-minimal.tar.gz

Additional documentation is available to assist with the installation of Webmin and other required packages on the following operating systems : Sun Solaris, HP/UX and Apple MacOS X.
