How to Install Webmin on CentOS 7

This guide covers installing Webmin on a CentOS 7 server and accessing its web interface.

Requirements

• A CentOS 7 VPS or server.
• SSH access with root privileges.

Install Webmin

1. Connect to the server over SSH, then run:

   yum install wget -y
   wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.860-1.noarch.rpm
   yum -y install perl perl-Net-SSLeay openssl perl-IO-Tty perl-Encode-Detect
   rpm -U webmin-1.860-1.noarch.rpm

   When installation finishes, note the Webmin URL shown in the terminal.

2. Open the URL in a browser, replacing SERVER_IP with your server’s IP address:

   https://SERVER_IP:10000

If the page does not load and firewalld is enabled, allow TCP port 10000 and reload the firewall:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10000/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

After connecting, the Webmin dashboard will appear.
