SDB:Webmin
Install (obsolete)
This previous method don't works anymore because some change in git setup.
Preferred Method is via GIT (http://www.webmin.com/git.html) if needed install git first:
zypper in git
now install webmin:
git clone git://github.com/webmin/webmin.git /usr/local/webadmin cd /usr/local/webadmin sudo sh setup.sh
Follow interactive CLI setup.
Install (2023)
Tested on august 22, 2023 on openSUSE Tumbleweed up to date.
Go to Webmin download page
look for the line
rpm — Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Alma, Rocky, Oracle, CentOS Stream, Fedora, openSUSE
and click on the "rpm" button, then save the rpm file.
Copy this file to your server, for example with
scp -v Telechargements/webmin-2.101-1.noarch.rpm user@IP:
then login your server as root and
zypper in /home/user/webmin-2.101-1.noarch.rpm
Update (obsolete)
cd /usr/local/webadmin git pull sudo /etc/webmin/restart
FirewallD
Add Service
firewall-cmd --permanent --new-service=webmin
Configure Service
firewall-cmd --permanent --service=webmin --set-description="web-based interface for system administration" firewall-cmd --permanent --service=webmin --add-port=10000/tcp firewall-cmd --reload
Open Service to enable temporary (until restart) access on "public" network connections:
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=webmin
to enable permanent access on "home" network:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=home --add-service=webmin
Accessing webmin
Webmin is a web application allowing external administration of a server. So to use it you may have to go to a client machine, open your preferred browser and go to
(port number is ten thousand, 10,000, default webmin port)
if correctly installed, webmin will ask for a login and password. Use actual server account, presumably root and his password.
Important notice
As of august 22, 2023, me (jdd) have tested the install, but not yet *used* webmin, so be prudent. If you can, update this page according to your experience.
