Ubuntu WebMin Install that actually works

Ubuntu WebMin Install that actually works

# Those dated tutorials are beyond annoying on Ubuntu's site. Here's how it worked for me 
# Option 1: Works on 18.04 server
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
# add (or pipe I just like adding :P)
deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
#back to command line
wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc
sudo apt-key add jcameron-key.asc
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install webmin 


# Option 2: Worked for PopOS
wget https://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.890_all.deb

dpkg --install webmin_1.890_all.deb

# For the three hours that took, it was incredibly simple and really those articles were 99% clickbait or annoying ubuntu 
# supremacists ranting about the need for command line. I use it but honestly sometimes just looking quickly is better. 

# if you want virtualmin too 
wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh
bash install.sh
