Cloudmin GPL Install Script for KVM

The installer should ideally only be used on systems that are not currentlyrunning Webmin or Virtualmin, but since it only installs packages it won'tdestroy any existing settings. The only supported Linux distributions areCentOS 5 and later, Redhat Enterprise 5 and later, Fedora 10 and later, Debian 5.0, and Ubuntu 8.04or later.

The install script will replace the systems existing eth0 networkinterface with a br0 interface with the same address. This is requiredto create a network bridge that KVM virtual machines can use to talk to therest of your network. The existing eth0 must have a staticallyconfigured IP address for this automatic conversion to work. Once it is done,a reboot is required to activate the new interface.

The CentOS or Redhat installer can be downloaded from cloudmin-kvm-redhat-install.sh. Once you have it on the Linux systemyou want to run Cloudmin on, execute it with the commands :

The Debian or Ubuntu installer can be downloaded from cloudmin-kvm-debian-install.sh. Once you have it on the Linux systemyou want to run Cloudmin on, execute it with the commands :

Because it downloads numerous packages from the Cloudmin website andyour Linux distribution's repository, it may take up to 10 minutes for theinstall to complete. Once it is done, you can login to Webmin athttps://yourserver:10000/ to see the Cloudmin user interface.

Cloudmin GPL Repository

One of the main advantages of using the installer over setting upCloudmin manually is the APT or YUM repository that it sets up on yoursystem. This includes Debian or RPM packages for Webmin and the Cloudminmodules, plus other dependencies like Perl modules.

When updates to Cloudmin-related packages are available, they willbe displayed on the System Information page that appears on the right-handframe after logging in. You can install all updates with the click of a button,or use the Virtualmin Package Updates module to install them selectively.
