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.


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.


Usage

DHCP server management

  • Go to "Servers > DHCP server" (on the left)
  • Then click on "add a new host"
