## Notes

Webmin is a web interface for administering Unix-like servers. It configures system internals and server applications, such as the Apache HTTP Server and BIND DNS Server. The [documentation](https://webmin.com/docs/) lists modules for the Apache and Nginx web servers, PHP and MySQL.

It runs as a server process on the machine it administers. The [download page](https://webmin.com/download/) describes installing it from the project's package repository with a setup script, from downloaded rpm or deb packages, or from a source tarball.

## Worth knowing

Virtualmin, a hosting control panel from the same developers, is a Webmin module. The about page offers paid developer help.
