Virtualmin in Windows 11 about virtualmin-install

[iliajie]

Have you ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade before installing Virtualmin?

Have you ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade before installing Virtualmin?

yeah, probably.
Installed this before btw;

If you install fail2ban package manually on that system, and then try start/restart it, what error does it output?

[unsalkorkmaz]

Currently ubuntu system basically gives this error in anything install or update related:

[unsalkorkmaz]

this is the result of trying to purge:

[iliajie]

This seems as a general system error and must be sorted out before Virtualmin can be installed.

There is not much we can do here.

[iliajie]

Also, make sure that you are running as root.

We've never tested on WSL. It's not a high priority, as nobody would run that on a server.

[unsalkorkmaz]

Well.. Uninstalled ubuntu and restarted the process but this time directly tried to install virtualmin first;

sudo passwd root
sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
su
cd /tmp && wget http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh --minimal

[unsalkorkmaz]

Update: I retried the process but with changing hostname first with this:

it seems problem got fixed

I recommend using bridge connection:
microsoft/WSL#4150 (comment)

You can install mkcert for local SSL certification:
https://chocolatey.org/install#individual
choco install mkcert

Not sure why, but virtualmin doesnt start automatically;
/etc/init.d/webmin start

And this is the result;
Virtualmin in Windows 11.

[iliajie]

Not sure why, but virtualmin doesnt start automatically;
/etc/init.d/webmin start

We have a fix for this in upcoming Webmin 1.991.

sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf

[network]
hostname = korkmaz.local.dev
generateHosts = false

# Set a command to run when a new WSL instance launches. 
[boot]
command = /etc/init.d/webmin start

[unsalkorkmaz]

Current problem is, none of services starts automatically in start:

[unsalkorkmaz]

For automatically start the services;
System Settings -> Virtualmin Configuration -> Status collection -> Restart services that are detected as down -> YES

sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf
find:
command = /etc/init.d/webmin start
replace:
command = /etc/init.d/webmin start && sudo /etc/webmin/status/monitor.pl

[unsalkorkmaz]

ssh service doesnt start;

sudo ssh-keygen -A

[iliajie]

None of this is Virtualmin installer issue.

[unsalkorkmaz]

None of this is Virtualmin installer issue.

Yeah. Sorry, trying to collect info for people who needs in future. Should I stop it here?

[unsalkorkmaz]

sudo apt remove openssh-server
sudo apt install openssh-server

Webmin -> Servers -> SSH Server -> Authentication -> Allow authentication by password? -> YES
