Webmin is a web-based system administration tool for Unix-like servers that lets administrators manage operating system settings and many common network services from a browser. It provides a modular interface to configure server internals and to control popular open-source server applications.

Key Features

  • Web-based management of core system settings such as users, groups, permissions, and configuration files
  • Service administration for many common server components via built-in modules
  • Extensible module system with a large set of standard modules and third-party add-ons
  • Role-based access controls to delegate administrative capabilities
  • Remote administration workflows suitable for managing multiple servers

Use Cases

  • Administer a Linux or BSD server without working directly in configuration files
  • Manage common infrastructure services (for example DNS and web server components) through a unified UI
  • Delegate limited administrative tasks to operators using granular permissions

Limitations and Considerations

  • Primarily targets Unix-like systems and relies on underlying OS tools and service configurations
  • Functionality depends on available modules and the services installed on the host

Webmin is a mature, widely used control panel suited for administrators who want a flexible, browser-based way to manage server configuration and services. Its module ecosystem makes it adaptable to many server roles and environments.
