It's Fixed in the Next Release
While doing research into another blog post that im currently working on. I needed a way to mange my Raspberry pi server without needed to SSH into it and execute commands. Using Webmin to do simple tasks makes it easier to control a simple system when assessing from far away location. Installing Webmin on Raspberry pi is a very smooth process when using a system as common as Debian (Raspbian).
Every time we make changes to a system, its important to update the system and the package manager repository. (not needed specificity for this tutorial, but its a good habit.
Fire up your favourite terminal emulator and start typing.
Sudo apt-get update && dist-upgrade or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
wait for the process to finish.
Dependencies Webmin
Before we can start Installing Webmin on Raspberry pi, we need to satisfy Webmins dependencies. In the same terminal (or open a new one) write.
sudo apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl libauthen-pam-perl libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions
Now we need to download the debian package of webmin, first we cd into a directory of our choice to keep all the files in the same place. I choose the desktop, (after Webmin have been installed, you may delete the package again)
cd ~/Desktop/
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.580_all.deb
When this is complete, you should be able to access Webmin using the IP address of your raspberry pi. When accessing Webmin, make sure to use secure htttp (https), otherwise you wont be able to browse the admin panel.
My IP network setup looks like this. Remember that your network will certainly be different.

Now that we are installing Webmin on Raspberry pi, its time to play around in Webmin. The software have a lot of features and it takes a while to get familiar with everything it has to offer.

This time we will be trying to integrate Phpmyadmin with Nginx and MariaDB. We are using Arch Linux since its my preferred distribution, but all of these commands are not very specific to the distribution you choose to work with. PhpMyAdmin is one of the most famous tools for managing the MySQL database, and is…
After using my trusted raspberry pi for a little over 2 years, I was in need of an upgrade. In the beginning my goal was just to make a home firewall/server using PFsense, but then I added an extra requirement, it had to use as little energy as possible. My top priority was getting a system that…
One of the most impotent features when using Linux as a primary workstation, is the desktop environment. They have a huge impact when it comes to multitasking capabilities and how you use the computer. A new desktop environment made by the guys over at EvolveOS called Budgie is available through the AUR. Luckily for us,…
I am one of the lucky humans to receive my alpha key for Heroes of the Storm. I got the invite on the 29th of October, but did not notice it until recently. Had to try to make this work on Linux (Manjaro Linux), not willing to use Windows in order just to try out…
I have always enjoyed Blizzards games, and Hearthstone is no exception. My problem is that I am one of those people who also like to use Linux. This means that in order to paly Windows only games, we had to either dual boot or use wine. Since I have no wish to dual boot, I…
