Webmin is a great tool for managing your system. You can just do everything with it, or you can choose doing some parts of your system...

In short, it is just an easy GUI tool to manage your system.

To install, first add the webmin repository to your system. Follow this guide on the webmin page. After this you can use the command below.

sudo apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl webmin

After this you should be able to login to Webmin at the URL https://localhost:10000/

Webmin User Password Change

If you want to change root password in webmin use this included Perl script:

sudo /usr/share/webmin/changepass.pl /etc/webmin root

Apache

To have this local site proxied into apache, you can add the following to your config or vhost.

### Webmin config
ProxyPass /webmin/ http://localhost:10000/
ProxyPassReverse /webmin/ http://localhost:10000/

Now, your webmin can be accessed via your site: http://www.domain.tld/webmin/. Ofcourse , this can be https as well.
