Webmin#

Install Webmin on Alpine: https://webmin.com/download/

Since Alpine uses apk as its package manager and is built on a library called musl. The apt, dnf command would not work.

Use the following commands to install webmin:

1. Run this to install Perl and the encryption libraries:

apk add perl perl-net-ssleay perl-io-tty openssl python3 wget tar

2. we will need to use the TAR file from the Webmin website:

| Command | cd /tmp wget “https://excellmedia.dl.sourceforge.net/project/webadmin/webmin/2.630/webmin-2.630.tar.gz?viasf=1" -O webmin.tar.gz tar -zxvf webmin.tar.gz

cd webmin-2.630
Now, run the setup script. This will install Webmin into /opt/webmin	./setup.sh /opt/webmin
Follow the menu in the terminal to complete the setup	Config file directory [/etc/webmin]: Press Enter to accept the default.
Log file directory [/var/webmin]: Press Enter to accept the default.
Full path to perl [/usr/bin/perl]: Press Enter. (Alpine’s perl is located here).
Web server port [10000]: Type your custom port number here (e.g., 51717) and press Enter.
Login name [admin]: Type your desired username and press Enter.
Login password: Type your password and press Enter. (Note: The characters will not appear as you type).
Password again: Retype your password to confirm.
The OS Question: Since this is Alpine, the script might ask you to pick an OS. If Alpine isn’t listed, choose Generic Linux or Other.
To get the exact version run “cat /etc/alpine-release” in a second terminal window.
Use SSL (y/n): Type y and press Enter. This is critical for security since you are using a web interface to manage a server.
Access the interrace on the url it presents or using the ip address with port you selected.
