What is Webmin?
Webmin has managed Unix and Linux servers from a browser for decades: users, packages, cron, DNS, firewall, Apache, Samba, databases and dozens more modules.
Its breadth is the point — if a subsystem exists on the server, there is probably a Webmin module for it.
What you get
- Modules for users, groups, cron, packages, filesystems and networking
- Service configuration for Apache, BIND, Samba, MySQL, Postfix and more
- Command shell and file manager in the browser
- Backup and restore of module configuration
Running Webmin on Autogineer Cloud
Webmin is a one-click install here: choose it at checkout, set a root password, and the server is built, the software installed and configured, and published on its own HTTPS address — usually in about a minute, with the whole build streamed to your browser as it runs.
- Installed and configured, not just downloaded. The build finishes only once Webmin is answering on its port with a real page — a server that could not finish is reported as failed rather than handed over looking complete.
- A working HTTPS address from the first minute. Your server is published at an address like webmin-vps.autogineer.com, with a valid certificate, so webhooks and OAuth callbacks work immediately. Your own domain can be added afterwards.
- Full root over SSH. The one-click install is a starting point, not a cage: you can reconfigure Webmin, install anything beside it, or replace it entirely.
- Backups you can restore from. On-demand backups of the whole server on every paid plan, which for Webmin means its data as well as its configuration.
- Room to grow. Resize the plan as Webmin grows, or rebuild the same server with a different app when the project changes.

Administrators who prefer a comprehensive form-based interface over editing configuration files by hand.
Getting started with Webmin
- When the build finishes, your server's page in the dashboard shows its HTTPS address, its root password and any sign-in details the installer set for Webmin. The build console streams every step as it happens, so you can see exactly what was installed rather than taking it on trust.
- Sign in with the server's root credentials. The module list on the left covers users, packages, cron, networking and every service installed, and each one reads the real system configuration.
- Add your own domain from the same page when you are ready: point a DNS record at the server and the certificate is issued for you. The original address keeps working, so nothing you configured against it breaks.
- Take a backup once Webmin is configured the way you want it. A backup captures the whole server, so restoring one brings back Webmin and its data together — and it is the only thing that will bring them back.
Frequently asked questions
Is Webmin still maintained?
Yes, it continues to receive releases and security updates.
Webmin or Cockpit?
Webmin covers more subsystems through modules; Cockpit is lighter, more modern and closer to systemd. Both are one-click installs, so the cheapest way to decide is to try one.
How long does it take to install Webmin?
About a minute. Choosing Webmin at checkout builds the server, installs it, and publishes it on an HTTPS address, streaming the progress to your browser as it happens.
What size server does Webmin need?
At least 1 vCPU, 1 GB of memory and 10 GB of disk, which is the Starter plan or larger. These are the figures the installer is tested against rather than the smallest configuration that will boot.
Do I get root access to the server?
Yes. Every server includes full root access over SSH on its own port, so you can configure, extend or replace anything the one-click installer set up.
Can I use my own domain with Webmin?
Yes. Each server is published on its own HTTPS address the moment it is built — webmin-vps.autogineer.com for example, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the dashboard.
