This tutorial will show you how to install Webmin on Arch Linux ARM installed on my Raspberry Pi 2. Webmin is a web based administration tool for server. Since my Arch Linux ARM does not have GUI, this Webmin is a great solution for me to manage it.
How to install Webmin on Arch Linux ARM – Raspberry Pi 2
Connect to the console via SSH or direct connection and execute the following command.
[root@alarmpi ~]# pacman -S webmin resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... Packages (2) perl-perl4-corelibs-0.003-3 webmin-1.710-1 Total Download Size: 11.76 MiB Total Installed Size: 57.33 MiB :: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
If you see the following note at the end of the initial step above, we need to install some additional packages and further configure Webmin.
Note: ==> It is not allowed to install 3rd party modules, or delete existing modules. ==> Please write your own PKGBUILDS for 3rd party modules and additional themes. Setup: ==> To make webmin start at boot time, add webmin to rc.conf daemons ==> Point your web browser to http://localhost:10000 to use webmin. ==> The access is restricted to localhost, if you want to connect from other locations ==> change /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf to something like that: allow=127.0.0.1 <your-ip> ==> If you want to have ssl encryption please install 'perl-net-ssleay' additional. :: Running post-transaction hooks... (1/1) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
At this point, Webmin can’t be accessed via https. To solve this, install perl-net-ssleay
pacman -S perl-net-ssleay
Finally we need to edit miniserv.conf and add the current IP address to the list.
nano /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
At the end, add the following lines
allow=127.0.0.1 192.168.1.3
Change 192.168.1.3 with your IP address from which you connect to Raspberry Pi (This is not the raspberry IP address)
Now, try open https://raspberry-ip-address:10000. Enjoy!
