What is Webmin?
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely. See the standard modules page for a list of all the functions built into Webmin, or check out the demo and screenshots.
Latest News
Webmin 1.350 and Usermin 1.280 released
No really major new features in these releases, just a bunch of bugfixes and enhancements. The biggest are probably RHEL 5 support, and the removal of useless files from the HTML editor which actually make the packages smaller! See the Webmin change log or Usermin change log for details, or download using the links to the left.
Virtualmin version 3.41 released
This update adds the ability to select the SSL key size and certificate locations, more control of which domains are disabled for exceeding the bandwidth limit, DNS client validation, and more control over backup error email reporting. You can get it from the Virtualmin downloads page.
Virtualmin covered in NewsWeek!
Well, actually it was just a picture of Jamie and Joe in a story about Y-Combinator, but any publicity is good :-). The article can be found at MSNBC. Y-Combinator provided some funding, invaluable advise and contacts to use when we were starting up Virtualmin.
Webmin Documentation Wiki ready to use
Pretty much all of the content from Joe and Jamie's books on Webmin has been imported into the new Webmin documentation Wiki. Not everything is covered yet, but because it's a Wiki everyone can (and should) create an account and start adding to it!
The most useful section is the modules documentation, which has one page for each of the core Webmin modules. Not all modules are covered yet though, so I encourage anyone who enjoys documentation to register for an account and start hacking!
Virtualmin version 3.40 released
This version adds external commands for setting quotas, better Zones support, template user interface and creation improvements, control over the disabled website HTML and more. You can download the module and updated theme from the Virtualmin downloads page.
Webmin development version 1.343 released
