Webmin is a nice UI that helps you to manage all your services and settings (DHCP, DNS, Samba, NFS, Users, Security, ...).
Even though the look is a bit 'old fashion' it's still very efficient.
Contents
Installation
See the official installation webpage: http://www.webmin.com/deb.html
... July 2014 ...
Update your list of repositories:
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
Add these new entries:
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
deb http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib
Add the new GPG key:
cd /root
wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
apt-key add jcameron-key.asc
You will now be able to install with the commands :
apt-get update
apt-get install webmin
Now you can go to https://localhost:10000/
Use a valid UNIX account to log-in.
Webmin behind Apache2 proxy
If you want to use Webmin behind a proxy you must tweak webmin configuration + add a new redirection in your Apache2 v.host
Webmin configuration
Main configuration file:
/etc/webmin/config
Add a default path "/webmin" + a reference to the PROXY + enable PROXY usage
webprefix=/webmin
webprefixnoredir=1
referers_none=0
referers=mySuperServer!! Don't forget to set referers_none=0
Since you're already using your own certificate with HTTPS, do not let Webmin use its own but rely on Apache's security:
/etc/webmin/miniserv.confDisable SSL
ssl=0
Apache2 configuration
Edit your Apache2 configuration:
vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mySuperSite.conf
Set the following settings:
# Enable proxy
ProxyVia On
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyErrorOverride Off
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
Satisfy Any
</Proxy>
## Proxy to webmin
<Location /webmin/>
ProxyPass http://localhost:10000/
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:10000/
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1 172.16.50.0/24 192.168.1.0/24
</Location>
Usage
DHCP server management
- Go to "Servers > DHCP server" (on the left)
- Then click on "add a new host"
