How to install WebMin in CentOS 7

How to install WebMin in CentOS 7.

First Download the CentOS 7 minimal ISO (https://www.centos.org/download/)

* Create a VM in VirtualBox
– Name: CentOS – WebMin
– Type: Linux
– Version: Red Hat (64-bit)

* Attach the downloaded CentOS 7 ISO after creating the VM
* Make sure enable ‘Adapter 2’ and attach to ‘Host-Only’
* Start the VM and complete the installation with default options.

Once installation is completed , execute below commands

* Change Host Name

# hostnamectl set-hostname webmin01.mylinxlabs.com –static –transient

* Delete the dhcp configuration of enp0s8 and re-create it with static IP
(use the ‘ip a’ command to see the interface name)

# nmcli con del enp0s8
# nmcli con add type ethernet con-name enp0s8 ifname enp0s8 ip4 192.168.56.10/24

* Add hostname to /etc/hosts
# cat EOF /etc/hosts
192.168.56.10 webmin01.mylinxlabs.com webmin01
EOF
* Now you can access the VM via SSH using the IP which set above (192.168.56.10)
* Make sure the NAT interface is up. If not then execute below commands

# ifup enp0s3
# nmcli con mod enp0s3 connection.autoconnect yes

* Configure YUM repo for WebMin

# cat EOF /etc/yum.repos.d/webmin.repo
[WebMin]
name=”Webmin Distribution Neutral”
mirrorlist=http://download.webmin.com/download/yum/mirrorlist
enabled=1
EOF

# curl http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc -O
# rpm –import jcameron-key.asc

* Now install below packages

# yum install webmin

* Open 10000 port which will be used by WebMin
# firewall-cmd –zone=public –add-port=10000/tcp –permanent
# firewall-cmd –reload

* Make sure WebMin is running
# /etc/init.d/webmin status

* Now you can access the WebMin interface using URL https://192.168.56.10:10000
