Lamez Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have two Debian servers at home. I use a web management program called "Webmin", I love it. It even allows me to manage both servers from one webmin portal. I was wondering if anyone else uses it?

oni-kun Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I use something very custom on my (once working) main *nix server, I use IPCop and a custom webadministration tool that is based off what is provided on it, although SSH is a fun thing. +1 for that app, I'll install it next time I bother to get another running.

trq Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I prefer to manage server the old fashion way via shell access. Most of these gui applications end up making a mess of the configuration files if at any time you need to make customizations. The Debian developers themselves have made Apache very easy to manage.

zq29 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I've had a quick play with it before one someone elses server, but couldn't really see the benefit. Like thorpe, I just do everything via the shell.

Like thorpe, I just do everything via the shell. I'd have to agree that (the secure shell part of what I used in my other post) is the only thing I use for automation, If I'm lazy and am on a Windows laptop without too much resources (or lack thereof) to SSH, I'd find a webmin-like interface something I'd have to stick with, albeit IP-cop's shell like web interface is better for what i'm specifically doing (network/authentication tasks, not anything that shell would allow).
