I also strongly believe Ubuntu is doing wrong by not including Webmin into their repository Webmin is doing a mistake by using a deprecated library and not leave everybody to take benefit of their great product.
For those unfamiliar with Webmin, it is a web interface for configuring your linux box without X server.


LATER EDIT: As Joe Cooper from Virtualmin (the guys making webmin) said in the comments, there’s no need anymore for libmd5-perl for webmin starting with 1.520. I tested and it’s true, now the whole installation can be done in 3 simple steps. Thanks Joe, now’s much better!

Having said these, let’s to the job:

1. Download latest libmd5-perl package from http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/libm/libmd5-perl/ . Currently 2.03

2. Execute libmd5-perl package

1. Download webmin from http:www.webmin.com . Currently 1.520

wget http://www.webmin.com/download/deb/webmin-current.deb

2. Execute webmin package. It will fail but it’s easier for us, since we’ll just force installing dependencies, rather than installing them one by one.

sudo dpkg -i webmin-current.deb

3. Install missing dependencies and it will automatically recompile webmin

sudo apt-get -f install

Enjoy webmin on https://[serverIP]:10000 .

What I am normally doing is forwarding the port 10000 out of my router and access my webmin from anywhere on the internet. You can forward it to another port and to be user-friendly and easy-to-remember you can use DynDNS to pick a nice name.

Enjoy!

It’s exactly what you need for a server, no fancy UI, just services.
    Dealing with all the text configuration files can be a time consuming task and there is something that can help a lot. It’s called Webmin and it is a web interface for configuring your linux box.
    Webmin demo

    You need to install first some perl-related libraries required by webmin:

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


    The you need to download the latest webmin archive (this might change in time). I am downloading the Debian package:

    wget http://www.webmin.com/download/deb/webmin-current.deb

    (thanks @macrocode)

    Install the Debian package with dpkg, not Aptitude:

    sudo dpkg -i webmin_1.490_all.deb

    * Your downloaded version may differ. Just use the deb package you’ve just downloaded.

    Enjoy your Webmin installation at https://[serverIP]:10000 .
