It will take usually\u00a0less than 10 minutes to install webmin.<\/p>\n<p>Webmin is a good frontend, nice for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copahost.com\/blog\/benchmark-linux-unixbench\/\" >server administradors who has some knowledge of linux<\/a>, and also for those who are still learning it. Webmin works both on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copahost.com\/en\/ssd-vps-servers\">vps servers<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copahost.com\/en\/dedicated-servers\">dedicated servers<\/a> running CentOS, Fedora or Debian. This tutorial is suited for CentOS 5, 6 or 7, or Fedora 22 or 23.<\/p>\n<p>Some nice features of Webmin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manage DNS Server entries, domains and hostnames<\/li>\n<li>Install or remove RPM packages<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.copahost.com\/blog\/list-mysql-users\/\" >Manage MySQL<\/a> and Postgrees databases and tables<\/li>\n<li>Manage\u00a0a firewall and routing<\/li>\n<li>Create and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copahost.com\/blog\/mysql-grant-all-privileges-how-to-manage-user-privileges\/\" >manage users<\/a> and disk space quotas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>What&#8217;s not so good about Webmin:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It requires some linux knowledge<\/li>\n<li>Some of the tasks, for instance, like installing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copahost.com\/blog\/web-server-examples\/\" >web server<\/a>, demands several commands<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s not so good to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copahost.com\/blog\/best-and-cheap-host-for-websites\/\">host many websites<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The best idea is use Webmin when you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copahost.com\/en\/managed-dedicated-servers\">managed dedicated or vps server<\/a> from a hosting company. This way you can use it to perform the daily tasks. You can also ask your provider to perform tough installations that should require some more expertise.<\/p>\n<h3>First of all, let&#8217;s prepare the linux server<\/h3>\n<p>Let&#8217;s flush the firewall rules.
