HTTP and HTTPS are the main protocols on the Internet for web surfing. The main goal for the Apache service is to answer requests on HTTP and HTTPS ports of your Raspberry Pi. Web Server Components: An Introductionīefore going deeper into the installation steps, I want to be sure that everyone understands what we are doing and how a web server works. It’s a 30-days challenge from beginner to master, with step-by-step tutorials and many projects to practice along the way. And I’ll end this tutorial with some extra tips.īy the way, if you are really interested in improving your skills on Raspberry Pi, I highly recommend to check out my e-book here. I’ll also show you how to install and configure them to work together. We’ll now learn how to complete each step in detail. Install MariaDB (MySQL), the most popular database server.Install PHP, and configure Apache to allow dynamic content.Install Apache, to answer HTTP requests.Install Linux, Raspberry Pi OS is recommended.Here are the required steps to set up a web server on a Raspberry Pi: Let’s see how to set up a web server the right way. But I understand it may be overwhelming for some of you. I’m also a web developer and have built many web projects, so I’m used to it. Unfortunately, it isn’t really straightforward, especially if you need PHP and a MySQL database. Thanks for reading this long comment if you have any questions about my experience running Webmin/Virtualmin on four Raspberry Pis please ask, there doesn't seem to be too many posts on this.Setting up a web server can be useful for various projects. Don't know what it is, but it doesn't work. That's pretty much my story, and one note, the Webmin docs that are supposedly located at /docs just hang forever loading when I try to visit them. I still don't know what happened but I'm wiping the system and trying the manual install shown in the Vmin docs. systemctl status returned fine and there were no big errors in the error log. I connected and checked the status of everything. In the process of getting Certbot downloaded on the other three Pis, I left them overnight and when I came back in the morning my server was inaccessible through Webmin and only through SSH. I deleted the Vmin module and everything worked again. The post-install config failed for a lot of reasons which I don't remember and won't list here, and I decided to uninstall Vmin and do the cluster thing since I actually knew how to do it. When I tried to get to the dashboard it said some Postfix error and I hadn't even installed Postfix. I thought I was done but It instead asked me to do post-install config. wmd file and put that into Wmin and it installed the Vmin module. I decided to leave the cluster settings be and instead install Vmin. I didn't feel like doing SSL again on all the Pis because I wanted the three workers to be isolated from the web and to be fair SSL is just sort of annoying for me. It didn't work though, and complained about SSL. Then I went over to cluster settings to add them there. I first found the other pis through a scan of the network and edited them with the right user and pass. Everything was working and then I went to link my other Pis, and this is where the trouble started. SSL started working, and I changed FreeDNS to use my router's public IP, which port forwarded Pi #1 on ports 80, 443, and 10000. After getting a cert I used the shell to find the keys and list them and then I copied the keys to the clipboard and uploaded them via Wmin's cert upload form. I decided to use Certbot myself and downloaded it via the software packages form and ran the commands via the online shell. I then tried using the Letsencrypt form on Wmin but it didn't work because it said there was no virtualhost set up for that host. I went over to which provides a shared registry of domains I can put a subdomain on there I set an A record so the FQDNs I set earlier would point to the private IPs of my Pis. webmin_version_all.deb) it worked and I was able to get to Webmin via port 10000 using the Pi's local IP address. I downloaded the deb and installed it via apt. I then set up ssh keys and ran updates on the system. I set the hostname to an FQDN and created a user of my name and added it to the sudo group. After writing the image to all the four Pis I edited the network-config file in the system-boot partition so the Pis would use 1.1.1.1 DNS and have a static IP set by netplan.io software. img file and is using the armhf architecture and it's 32-bit. This version of Ubuntu was preinstalled on the. Keep in mind I had preconfigured the Pi by installing Ubuntu Server 20.04.10 on it. Now I'm going to tell you what I did with my Pis and Webmin/Virtualmin. I am a very new user to the Webmin and Virtualmin projects but have a lot of experience with Raspberry Pis and own a four-pi cluster that I want to run Vmin on.
