how to login to Webmin server?

hi there,

i installed the virtualmin and followed from the guide https://www.virtualmin.com/download, and open https://example.com:10000, and which username & password need to enter to login? i use ssh key only on my server, not root password there.

os: ubuntu 16.04

cheers!

Howdy -- while SSH does indeed support keys, most other services do not, including Webmin and Virtualmin.

In order to log into Webmin/Virtualmin, you would need either a root account with a password, or an account with sudo privs that has a password. You could even give root a password, and not allow that password to be used over SSH. In general, you'd want some sort of admin password on the server, or else it wouldn't be possible to login from the console.

It looks like you're using Virtualmin GPL there though, the area here is for folks using Virtualmin Pro. If you had any followup questions, we'd encourage you to ask those in the Forums. We monitor the Forums, along with lots of wonderful folks in the community. Thanks!
