virtualmin-install-7.7.2
Hi,
The virtualmin-install script has an option to install a nano version,
without any Mail or DNS services. But when I select this option (-t nano), I get the fallowing error message:
E: Unable to locate package virtualmin-lamp-stack-nano
[2025-05-07 12:47:49 -03] [INFO] Installing Virtualmin 7 and all related packages: [2025-05-07 12:47:49 -03] [INFO] Failed with error: 100
Indeed, there’s no such package on the repository:
# apt search virtualmin-lamp-stack
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
virtualmin-lamp-stack/virtualmin,virtualmin 7.0.6-1 all
Metapackage for Virtualmin LAMP Stack.
virtualmin-lamp-stack-minimal/virtualmin,virtualmin 7.0.6-1 all
Metapackage for Virtualmin LAMP Stack.
Do I have to configure an alternative repository manually?
I know they talked about adding some other options but I only see ‘regular’ and minimal on the documentation page. Where are you getting this -t nano from?
No switch like that in help

Being in a printf statement I didn’t know if it was declared elsewhere and just being called here. Coding skills were always pretty limited. I can dig in a little if needed but that’s about it.
It shouldn’t have been tagged as a release, we were still discussing what to do about more custom installations. Which is why it is not what you get when you download the installer from our website, and not in the documentation.
I am opposed to a bunch of confusing and randomly named “sizes” and would rather we move in the direction of a modular installation, where we have a standard (full) installation, and for anyone who wants less, they can choose what to include or leave out. But, that needs more testing (as do all these extra sizes before we release them).
The thread had me thinking about what Virtualmin is. For most,
