This article is very helpful me.
Good tutorial. Only suggestion would be to add a note about disabling the firewall temporarily to allow access to view Webmin in the browser. Once in, change the port from 10000 and check the box to “Open new ports on firewall”, then enable the firewall again and all will be good.
Great One, Helped Me A Lot . Thanks 🙂
