Yes, we merged some of the old themes in the new Usermin release so that the list
of mail folders on the left menu is available to all users. However, you can turn
this off by removing access to the Read Mail module..

[webmin-l] Frame Theme is Now Obnoxious

[Michael R. <we...@ro...>]

Hey, with the new version of Usermin(1.861), the Frame theme has been changed to include a rather obnoxious left side bar that contains a list of all of the mail folders plus links.....that doesn't seem to be removable or changable.

One of the things I've always liked about the Frame theme is that it is pretty similar to the original Usermin theme.  No sidebars and stuff like that.

Is it possible to remove this or at least have an option to customize it so that it can be optional rather than forced?

Hi,

It’s known caching bug and @Jamie is aware of it.

To fix this, delete the following file and refresh the page:

/etc/webmin/bind8/zone-names

Re: [webmin-l] [UPDATE 1] How do I migrate my slave DNS server from CentOS 7.9 to Rocky Linux 9.1?

[Przemysław O. <prz...@ma...>]

Hi

Assuming this is a slave DNS for single virtualmin server I should just 
install new slave DNS and then add it to virtualmin as usual with the 
option to copy all existing zones.

Its also possible to do it when single slave DNS is used for many 
masters under the condition that there are no overlapping domains on 
different masters.

Even if your slave DNS is out for several hours it should have 
practically zero impact for clients

Your primary must remain operational and there is the problem of 
delegating domains if there is only single DNS (it might be impossible 
to delegate new zone to a single DNS server)

The master should populate the slave within minutes after its added in 
virtualmin as a slave.

Regards

[webmin-l] [UPDATE 1] How do I migrate my slave DNS server from CentOS 7.9 to Rocky Linux 9.1?

[Turritopsis D. T. En M. <tdt...@gm...>]

Subject: [UPDATE 1] How do I migrate my slave DNS server from CentOS
7.9 to Rocky Linux 9.1?

Good day from Singapore,

I have successfully migrated my Virtualmin master server from CentOS
7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1.

See https://forum.virtualmin.com/t/successful-migration-of-virtualmin-master-server-from-centos-7-9-to-almalinux-9-1/118208

However, I still haven't migrate my slave DNS server.

My slave DNS server is still running CentOS 7.9 and has Webmin
installed. Virtualmin is not installed. Since Virtualmin is not
installed, there is no Backup and Restore function.

How can I migrate my slave DNS server from CentOS 7.9 to Rocky Linux
9.1 under this circumstance?

Please advise.

Thank you very much.

[webmin-l] Migrating Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1

[Turritopsis D. T. En M. <tdt...@gm...>]

Subject: Migrating Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1

Good day from Singapore,

Author: Mr. Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming (TARGETED INDIVIDUAL)
Country: Singapore
Date: 15 Dec 2022 Thursday

I have successfully migrated Virtualmin Master Server from CentOS 7.9
to AlmaLinux 9.1 on 14 Dec 2022 Wed from 4.00 PM to 7.30 PM Singapore
Time.

Even though I have a fever of 38.5 degrees C on 14 Dec 2022 Wed, I
still managed to carry out the migration.

As of 15 Dec 2022 Thursday at 4.30 PM, I still have a mild fever of
37.5 degrees C.

Below are the detailed instructions. Special thanks to Jamie Cameron
at Virtualmin.com for providing guidance.

I am not migrating the slave DNS server yet. It is still running CentOS 7.9.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
======================

SECTION A - Installing Virtualmin 7.0.0 on new AlmaLinux 9.1 VPS
=================================================================

# wget https://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/scripts/install.sh

# /bin/sh install.sh

Running Virtualmin 7 pre-installation setup:
  Syncing system time ..
  .. done
  Updating CA certificates ..
  .. done

  Welcome to the Virtualmin GPL installer, version 7.0.0

  This script must be run on a freshly installed supported OS. It does not
  perform updates or upgrades (use your system package manager) or license
  changes (use the "virtualmin change-license" command).

  The systems currently supported by install script are:

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux and derivatives
      - RHEL 8 and 9 on x86_64
      - Alma and Rocky 8 and 9 on x86_64
      - CentOS 7 on x86_64

    Debian Linux and derivatives
      - Debian 10 and 11 on i386 and amd64
      - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS on i386 and amd64

  If your OS/version/arch is not listed, installation will fail. More
  details about the systems supported by the script can be found here:

    https://www.virtualmin.com/os-support

  The selected package bundle is LAMP and the size of install is
  full. It will require up to 650 MB of disk space.

  Exit and re-run this script with --help flag to see available options.

Post-Installation Wizard
=========================

Introduction
=============

This post-installation wizard allows you to configure Virtualmin
optimally for your system. You can make selections depending on
whether you want to host websites, email or databases, and based on
your system's memory and CPU power.
To continue, click the Next button below. To skip it and use the
default settings, click Cancel.

Click Next.

Memory use
===========

Virtualmin can be tuned to improve performance in its user interface
and email processing, but at the cost of increased memory use. The
best choice depends on how your system will be used.

Preload Virtualmin libraries? Choose Yes, faster UI with more RAM used (≈40M)

Run email domain lookup server? Choose Yes, faster mail processing
with more RAM used (≈70M)

Click Next.

If your system is going to host domains that will receive a large
amount of email, scanning incoming messages for viruses can generate
high CPU load. Because scanning is done using the ClamAV scanning
server clamd, it will consume RAM even when not processing email. If
your system will not be hosting email, virus scanning can be disabled.

Enable virus scanning with ClamAV? Choose Yes, uses up to 2G of RAM

Click Next.

Spam filtering
==================

If your system is going to host domains that will receive a large
amount of email, filtering incoming messages for spam can generate
significant CPU load. This is due to CPU use by the SpamAssassin mail
filter when it is started, which can be avoided by running the
SpamAssassin filter server spamd in the background. This consumes RAM,
but reduces CPU load and makes mail processing faster.

Run SpamAssassin server filter? Choose Yes, faster mail processing
with more RAM used (≈30M) and no per-domain settings

Click Next.

Database servers
================

Virtualmin supports both the MariaDB and PostgreSQL database servers,
but you might want to run only one (or neither) on your system. Each
consumes RAM when running, even if they are not being used.
Depending on the websites and applications you plan to host, running
MariaDB only may be enough, as most web applications do not support or
require PostgreSQL. If your system will only be used for mail or DNS
hosting, there is no need to run either.

Run MariaDB database server? Yes

Run PostgreSQL database server? No

Click Next.

MariaDB password
================

To prevent other users on your system from managing the MariaDB
database, a password for the root user should be set. Currently the
MariaDB password is not set, which is highly insecure.

Set MariaDB password: <removed>

Click Next.

DNS configuration
==================

For DNS zones created by Virtualmin to be resolvable, the primary
nameserver record for each zone must be set to something that can
itself be resolved by other systems on the Internet.

Primary nameserver: ns1.turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming.com

Click Skip check for resolvability.

Secondary nameservers (optional): ns2.turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming.com

Click Next.

All done
=========

Virtualmin post-installation configuration is now complete!
However, you can continue with the wizard to configure optional features.

Click Next.

Password storage
=================

Virtualmin gives you the option of storing plain-text passwords for
virtual servers and mailboxes, or storing only one-way encrypted
(hashed) passwords. Plain text passwords are more convenient, but less
secure if your system is compromised. However, with hashed passwords
enabled, password recovery for virtual servers will not be not
possible, and database password for new servers will be different from
the administration password, and will be randomly generated.

Password storage mode: Only store hashed passwords

Click Next.

MariaDB database size
======================

MariaDB can be configured to trade off memory use for performance,
depending on how much RAM your system has and how heavily you expect
the database to be used.

MariaDB configuration size: Keep MariaDB system defaults

Click Next.

SSL key directory
==================

Virtualmin gives you the option of keeping SSL certificates and keys
in each virtual server's home directory, or another location under
/etc. The former is easier to manage, but introduces the risk that
server owners may cause your webserver to fail to start if they delete
the certificate file.

Location for SSL certificates: Per-domain directory under /etc/ssl/virtualmin

Click Next.

Virtualmin can create a default virtual server that will serve web
requests to your system that don't match any other domain. It can also
be used to request a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for use by
Virtualmin's own UI.

Setup default virtual server? No, thanks

Click Next.

Additional post-installation configuration is now complete!

Click Finish.

SECTION B - Backing up Virtualmin Virtual Servers on old CentOS 7.9 VPS
========================================================================

Link b: https://marc.info/?l=webmin-l&m=167038794008036&w=2

SECTION C - Transferring Backup Files From CentOS 7.9 VPS to AlmaLinux 9.1 VPS
===============================================================================

laptop using WinSCP.

Upload all the 20 backup files from your laptop to AlmaLinux 9.1
server using WinSCP.

The backup files should be uploaded to /restore directory on AlmaLinux

IP address?

Link: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/292/10/how-can-i-update-my-personal-nameservers-ip-address/

SECTION F - Checking Virtualmin Configuration
===============================================

The status of your system is being checked to ensure that all enabled
features are available and properly configured ..
Your system has 7.5 GiB of memory, which is at or above the Virtualmin
recommended minimum of 256 MiB
BIND DNS server is installed
Mail server Postfix is installed and configured
Postfix is configured to support per-domain outgoing IP addresses

missing php.ini files
Webalizer does not appear to be installed on your system, or has not
yet been set up properly in Webmin's Webalizer Logfile Analysis
module. If your system does not use Webalizer, it should be disabled
in Virtualmin's module configuration page

   .. your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin

SECTION H - Tying up some loose ends for the Slave DNS Server
===============================================================

Part 1
=======

Because I haven't migrate the slave DNS server (it is still running
CentOS 7.9), we need to tie up some loose ends.

Use the following guide.

Reference guide: [PART 8 - DRAFT 2] [Virtualmin and Webmin] Teo En
Ming's Notes for Setting Up Slave DNS Server

Link a: https://sourceforge.net/p/webadmin/mailman/message/37373922/

Link b: https://marc.info/?l=webmin-l&m=163528877500627&w=2

Link c: https://pastebin.com/raw/hVShREH6

Part 2
=======

Then you need to login to the Webmin of the slave DNS server.

Click Servers > BIND DNS Server

For EACH AND EVERY DNS Zone, click on the DNS Zone.

Click Edit Zone Options.

Master servers: 217.76.54.74

Allow transfers from.. Click Listed.. and then specify 217.76.54.74

Click Save.

Part 3
=======

Putty/SSH into the slave DNS server.

# systemctl restart named

Run the below command for every domain name.

# rndc reload <domain name>

Reference guide: Force dns zone transfer
Link: https://archive.virtualmin.com/node/14479

CONCLUSION
==========

You have successfully migrated your Virtualmin master server from
CentOS 7.9 to AlmaLinux 9.1!

Yes, you should.

Yes, that will work.

No, you'll be able to restore all of them at once.

Yes, assuming that all your domains shared the same IP, just choose the
option with the new server's primary IP.
 
> As for the other restore options, can I choose the DEFAULT settings???

Yes, that should work.

Re: [webmin-l] Have I performed my backups using Virtualmin GUI correctly?

Dear Jamie Cameron,

I have opened backup files for a few domains using win-rar. I can see
all the email messages in Maildir directory.

I have very high confidence that 100,000 emails for 2 major domains
were backed up.

If I want to restore on the new server, do I create a /restore
directory on the new server and upload all the 20 backup files there?

The 20 backup files include:

*.tar.gz
*.tar.gz.dom
*.tar.gz.info

When I restore in the new server, do I choose "Restore source: Local
file or directory" and then specify the /restore directory?

Virtualmin will then automatically restore all the 20 backup files in
the /restore directory??? There is no need to specify each of the 20
backup files individually???

As the new server will have new IP address, I need to choose "IPv4
address for restored servers: Shared, on IP <new IP address>"???

As for the other restore options, can I choose the DEFAULT settings???

My new VPS server is now ready for restore operation as of 13 Dec 2022.

Thank you very much for your help.

Re: [webmin-l] Have I performed my backups using Virtualmin GUI correctly?

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

You could dump the contents of the backup and search for mail files by running
something like :

tar tvzf /path/to/backup.tar.gz | grep Maildir

Re: [webmin-l] Have I performed my backups using Virtualmin GUI correctly?

Dear Jamie Cameron,

Yes, I do realize that the backup is extremely fast for all 6 domains
containing around 100,000 email messages.

There are 2 major domains, each with around 50,000 email messages.

Virtualmin is supposed to backup /home directory for each domain.

How can I find out whether email messages are stored inside /home
directory for each domain?

I need to ensure / make sure all my 100,000 email messages are fully
and properly backed up.

Thank you.

Re: [webmin-l] Have I performed my backups using Virtualmin GUI correctly?

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

That does seem like a very fast backup for domains containing 100,000 email messages.

Do you domains store emails in the Maildir directory under each users' home dir?

[webmin-l] BIND DNS Server named.conf and chroot error after upgrading Virtualmin

[Turritopsis D. T. En M. <tdt...@gm...>]

Subject: BIND DNS Server named.conf and chroot error after upgrading
Virtualmin

Good day from Singapore,

I have upgraded Virtualmin web hosting control panel Master Server to the
following versions on the evening of 1st Nov 2022 Tuesday.

Webmin version: 2.001
Virtualmin version: 7.3
Usermin version: 1.860
Authentic theme version: 20.01.1:5

However, after the Virtualmin and Webmin upgrade, I get the following error
messages.

Information!

Virtualmin's configuration has not been checked since it was last updated.
Click the button below to verify it now.
Button: Re-check and refresh configuration

Checking Configuration
=======================

The status of your system is being checked to ensure that all enabled
features are available and properly configured ..
Your system has 7.63 GiB of memory, which is at or above the Virtualmin
recommended minimum of 256 MiB
The BIND DNS server version 8 or 9 does not appear to be installed on your
system, or has not yet been set up properly in Webmin's BIND DNS Server
module. If your system does not use BIND, it should be disabled in
Virtualmin's module configuration page

 .. your system is not ready for use by Virtualmin

Then I navigate to Webmin > Servers > BIND DNS Server. It says:

The primary configuration file for BIND /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
does not exist, or is not valid. Create it?

Options:
-  Setup nameserver for internal non-internet use only
-  Setup as an internet name server, and download root server information
-  Setup as an internet name server, but use Webmin's older root server
information

Button: Create Primary Configuration File and Start Nameserver

All along, ever since the initial deployment of my Virtualmin web hosting
control panel on 18 Oct 2021, I have never run BIND DNS Server in a chroot
environment. After upgrading Virtualmin last night, the configuration was
suddenly and unexpectedly changed to running BIND DNS Server in a chroot
environment. I have no idea why and what happened.

So I did a Google search and found the following discussion threads.

[1] BIND DNS Server is uninstalled after the last upgrade
Link: https://archive.virtualmin.com/node/32314

[2] Prevent OS updates from chrooting Bind
Link: https://archive.virtualmin.com/node/53785

Solution
=========

After reading through the above discussion threads, I have solved the
problem by performing the following steps.

Click Webmin > Servers > BIND DNS Server

Click Module config at the top left hand corner.

Chroot directory to run BIND under: choose None

Is named.conf under chroot directory? choose No

Click Save.

And now BIND DNS Server should be back running normally, without chroot
environment. It will revert back to using /etc/named.conf and zone files in
/var/named.

Problem solved! I hope this guide is useful to you.

You mean a link to /usr/sbin/rmt (not to /etc/sbin/rmt ), right? :-)

I guess that the link /etc/rmt is there for compatibility purposes. 
"type rmt" will give /usr/sbin/rmt .

Yes, in fact, I had already looked into this. rmt is indeed present (by 
default) on NetBSD, and its path is the same as on my Linux systems: 
/usr/sbin/rmt . So my conclusion was that this wasn't an obstacle.

Does the "rmt" command exist on your NetBSD system, and if so in what
location? I seem to recall that it's different from on Linux, and this can
cause remote tar backups to fail because the tar command expects to be
able to run it.

Hi Jamie,

Yes, backing up (via ssh in the Webmin module) from the Linux system to 
a different Linux system works fine. I've just tested this again.

But again, backing up (via ssh in the Webmin module) from the same Linux 
system to the NetBSD system doesn't work. In fact, I've just tried to 
back up to two different NetBSD systems, and neither works. In contrast, 
backing up via ftp works.

I'd agree that it looks like NetBSD is the problem here, but at the same 
time, on both (up-to-date) NetBSD systems, we're talking about 
garden-variety sshd (from OpenSSH) with barely any custom configuration 
(the only customized change is that X Forwarding has been turned on). 
Add to this that I can ssh/sftp/scp on the command line from the Linux 
system to either NetBSD system without difficulty.

So it's a puzzle to me. In addition, as I said in my initial message 
(above), Webmin doesn't provide any error message in this case: the 
process just seems to fall into a loop and to take a very long time. On 
my most recent attempt, the circle for "Save and Backup Now" is still 
spinning without any error message after more than an hour, whereas a 
backup via ftp of the same small directory takes less than 10 seconds.

C.

P.S.: If you would like to try to replicate this issue, I'd be happy to 
give you a temporary shell account on one of the NetBSD systems. I often 
wonder whether I'm missing something obvious, which is possible, despite 
my numerous tests/attempts (which is also why I hesitated to write to 
the mailing list). :-(

Hi Christopher,

What if you backup from your Linux system to a different Linux system,
rather than NetBSD? That would be a useful test to figure out if the 
issue is coming from the client or server side..

Hi Jamie,

I'm using a password to authenticate via ssh on the remote (NetBSD) 
system. (All of my backup tests via ssh with Webmin from Linux to NetBSD 
and from Linux to Linux have used a password to authenticate.)

On the command line of the Linux system (where Webmin is installed), I 
can use ssh/sftp/scp to reach my account on the remote NetBSD system. In 
fact, I've just tried all three of these commands and they work!

Even so, any attempt to use the "Filesystem Backup" module of Webmin on 
the Linux system to back up via ssh a (small) directory to the NetBSD 
system fails. Basically, the process takes many-many minutes -- it seems 
to hang -- before it finally gives up (or I kill it), with absolutely no 
result.

In contrast, choosing to use ftp in the module works fine.

I've experienced this issue since I began to use Webmin, which was 
around four years ago.

Thanks,
C.

Hi Christopher,

Are you using a password to authentication via SSH to the remote system,
or a private key? Also, can you SSH with the same credentials from the
command line on your Webmin system?

Re: [webmin-l] Issue with backing up *via ssh* from a Linux system to a NetBSD system using the "Filesystem Backup" module

[Forwarding this to the list -- I hope that you don't mind]

Thanks for the reply.

Although I don't use scp often, I've just tested scp on the command line 
in both directions (Linux <--> NetBSD) and it works.

Despite this, backup via ssh from Linux to NetBSD using the Webmin 
module (still) doesn't work. :-(

(Since Webmin isn't installed on the NetBSD system, I'm afraid that I 
can't test backing up from NetBSD to Linux using the Webmin module.)

[webmin-l] Issue with backing up *via ssh* from a Linux system to a NetBSD system using the "Filesystem Backup" module

[Christopher P. <cj...@ex...>]

Hi,

I've been using Webmin for a few years and am currently using v. 2.000 .

I've noticed a significant issue with backing up *via ssh* from a Linux 
system to a NetBSD system using the "Filesystem Backup" module. In fact, 
this is an issue that I've always experienced with Webmin, but I thought 
that I would finally ask about it. :-)

First of all, backing up *via ftp* from Linux to NetBSD works fine 
(whether by dump or by tar), and this is what I've been doing.

However, backing up *via ssh* from Linux to NetBSD doesn't work for some 
reason. If I start a backup from Linux to NetBSD, the process begins and 
takes a long time and finally gives up (or after a long time, I give up 
and terminate the process). There's never ever any trace of the dump or 
tar file on the NetBSD system.

(As a sanity check, backing up via ssh from Linux to Linux *does* work 
for me.)

Naturally, ssh/sftp work fine on the NetBSD system -- after all, it's 
(standard) OpenSSH.

Webmin doesn't display any error message, as far as I can tell: the 
backup process simply doesn't succeed after a long while. None of the 
files miniserv.error , miniserv.log , or webmin.log seems to indicate 
that anything went wrong, as far as I can tell.

I wanted to ask: is this a known issue? Where could I look for the 
source of the error?

I'd be grateful for any advice.

C.
