Manage almost everything in your OS in browser using webmin
Have ever wonder hoping you can manage your OS in once place? Or maybe your using a hosting provider with root access or maybe on the cloud service sick of doing lots of commands just to view and manage things? Well if that is the case, then webmin is the right solution for you.
So on this tutorial, we will use Ubuntu 12.04 'precise' as our OS and I will tell you how to install it.
Before we install webmin, please make sure you have the following packages installed in your machine:
perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python
If not, go ahead and paste this code. If you have either installed one of the packages, then feel free to edit removing installed package in your OS:sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python
If yes, then copy and paste this to your terminal:
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.580_all.deb
You can also check the URL as maybe by the time you read my article, there is a new updated version of webmin.

Once you done downloading it, let us install it in your machine. Make sure you are still on the same folder where you download the webmin.
sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.580_all.deb
Once done your ready to go. But before we proceed, I am hoping you did not yet close your terminal but if yes, I have remedy to it. Why maybe you ask. This is because upon installing, it will tell you what URL you have to navigate just like mine:
https://mark:10000/
https://mark:10000/
But in case close it assuming are too much excited diving to your browser then just follow this format:
https:// ----> the protocol and this is constant
https:// ----> the protocol and this is constant
mark --------> the username of your PC. E.g. root@mark:#
:1000 -------> the port. This is constant
Now the problem was solved, go to your favorite browser and paste the link. You will prompt the username and password. The username is the root username and the password of course is the password of the root user.
Yeeehhaaa! your done baby. Hopefully you keep in mind, power requires responsibility and mind.
Just comment below if you have questions or maybe improvement to my post =)
