I have virtualmin hosting a website, how to I get to it locally something like
192.168.0.100/webtrees
Keith
In the Virtualmin panel for the VM(website) use the Menu on the left
Web Configuration → Preview Website
Easiest way 
I just used that menu a few days ago while testing Virtualmin on my home local network
Humm when I select the new VM and then goto Web Configuration → Preview Website all it does it bring up the Virtualmin site
Is Virtualmin running in a Virtualized environment? I had my test setup running in a VirtualBox VM and all worked fine.
Have you tried localhost/MyWayCoolAwesomeWebsite.com or 127.0.0.1/MyWayCoolAwesomeWebsite.com
Now sure how you setup DNS and all that
Is this website publicly available on the internet?
If so you need to enable NAT loopback on your router or add a DNS entry to your hosts file.
What does “locally” mean here? Why wouldn’t you just go to the domain name? Or are you on a consumer router that doesn’t route the external IP to the local network, so the domain name resolves to the public IP and you can get to it from the local network?
If that’s the case, the simplest is to add that IP to your hosts file so you can access it on its name. You’ve got name-based virtual hosts in Apache, so an IP alone can only ever take you to the first configured VirtualHost.
You could make it available on a path within an IP-based VirtualHost, or on a path in the first VirtualHost (whatever VirtualHost you get when you visit http://192.168.0.100). That’d be problematic, though, for anything short of a plain HTML site, without a lot of hoop-jumping to deal with the PHP-FPM configuration in a way that works.
You can configure BIND to serve different views, but that’s probably way too much complexity for one or two client machines (and would depend on you hosting DNS locally).
Anyway, for me, I would just put it in the hosts file.
What does “locally” mean here? A small network I have setup at home, part of it will not be accessible to the internet
Do you have any examples of the configuration files to accomplish reaching it only from within my home network
Thanks
Keith
The configuration is no different. The problem is the DNS server you’re presumably querying doesn’t resolve that name to your local IP.
So, as I said, the simplest thing is to add that name to your hosts file on your client system. Unless you want to run a DNS server locally just to make those local sites available, that’s the only reasonable option. You need to be able to browse to the name of your VirtualHost to be able to visit more than one on a given IP, whether it is local or not.
Any of these will do, but as @Joe says the host file entry on your PC is the easiest but it only works for that pc, not the whole local network.
you will have to set reverse proxy for that - if your router supports it. If not simplest way would be add imaginary domain for example miller.kd to your host file on the device you want to access that domain in your lan / home network and then in virtualmin just create domain miller.kd and use from your computer with altered host file as you would normally do. this is perfect for intranets or home testing environment. Anything connected to your lan with entry in host file would find that website without messing nat or opening outside - safe and local only. Are you using windows or linux or mac? I am sure you can google it how to edit host file on each platform - if not let me know and I will post it here
It’s called NAT loopback 
@shoulders reverse proxy or nat, loopback, whatever - I dont care as long as I can explain OP request, which on forums like these should…you know, they might not know - thanks for your laughing anyways your suggestion about editing host file was simplest and right.
which on forums like these should - I should said: which on forums like these should be allowed - for OP (original poster) to understand how it works and regards security point - I understand but this is for local lan hosted site not open to internet, but if someone explain out basics - they will understand and thats the point to understand it and they can explore and learn - at least on basic levels without being laughing at. - We all started somewhere..
