How to Install Webmin on CentOS / RHEL 7/6 and Fedora 28/27/26/25?

1-Please  Update  your  System :

yum  update -y

2-Install Webmin Manually

From Webmin Download page  you can get the  RPM package. use wget command  to get the  package

wget https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.881-1.noarch.rpm

you need  some extra  rpms that you need to install beside that .

 yum -y install perl perl-Net-SSLeay openssl perl-IO-Tty

Then  install webmin:

rpm -U webmin-1.881-1.noarch.rpm

3-Install Via webmin repo

[Webmin]
name=Webmin Distribution Neutral
#baseurl=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum
mirrorlist=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum/mirrorlist
enabled=1

Then, fetch and install the GPG key which is used to sign the Webmin packages:

# wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
# rpm --import jcameron-key.asc

Finally, install Webmin and all the dependencies using the following command:

# yum install webmin

4-Start Webmin and enable it on system boot

To start Webmin, you can use the following command:

# service webmin start

To enable Webmin on system boot use the following command:

# chkconfig webmin on

Check  if the service is  running

[root@centos7a ~]# service webmin status 
Webmin (pid 2472) is running

and  port 10 000 listening

[root@centos7a ~]# netstat -plunt | grep 10000
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2472/perl 
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:10000 0.0.0.0:* 2472/perl 
[root@centos7a ~]#

Allow the webmin  behind a firewall

firewall-cmd –permanent –zone=public –add-port=10000/tcp
firewall-cmd –reload

5-Access Webmin Console

Please  join https://ip:10000

By default, Webmin uses a self-signed SSL certificate so your web browser will warn you that the connection is not secure. You can accept the self-signed SSL certificate and proceed to the log in screen.

you can login with root or with user with sudo wrights

I think the same method should work for Redhat /Feodora 26/27/28  and Oracle Linux .

Please  Enjoy
