Prerequisites

A Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 server
Root or sudo access to the server
A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) such as virtualmin.example.com
A firewall configured to allow necessary ports

Step 1: Update Your System

Before installing Virtualmin, update the system packages to ensure everything is up to date:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Once the update is complete, reboot the server:

Step 2: Download and Install Virtualmin

Download the Installation Script

Virtualmin provides an automated script to install all required dependencies easily. Download it using:

sudo wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh

Grant Execution Permission

After downloading the script, set the correct permissions:

sudo chmod a+x install.sh

Run the Installation Script

Now, run the installation script:

sudo ./install.sh

The installer will ask configuration questions. Press Y to continue and let the script complete the installation.

Step 3: Set the Hostname

Virtualmin requires a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). To set it, use:

sudo hostnamectl set-hostname virtualmin.example.com

Replace virtualmin.example.com with your actual domain.

Step 4: Configure the Firewall for Virtualmin

Virtualmin uses port 10000 for its web interface. Allow this port in the firewall:

sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 10000/tcp
sudo ufw reload

Step 5: Access Virtualmin Web Interface

Once the installation is complete, access the Virtualmin web interface by opening a browser and entering your server’s IP address or domain name:

https://your-server-ip:10000

https://your-domain.com:10000

Since Virtualmin uses a self-signed SSL certificate, your browser may show a security warning. Click on Advanced → Proceed to the site.
