Redis - official way of installing and configuring in Virtualmin

Thanks Joe. Could you please clarify if installing packages NOT through Virtualmin will still keep it possible to backup/restore server configuration through Virtualmin? There might be lack of understanding here of how free I am to install various packages and modules manually in command line in a way that keeps Virtualmin happy and functional. For instance, I just installed the latest Redis as per their documentation: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:redislabs/redis sudo apt-get update sudo apt-ge…

Thanks, that thread talks about using commands to install Redis.
I want to know if I can use builtin functionality of Virtualmin to install Redis.

Hmmm, Joe said.

There is no Webmin or Virtualmin module for Redis that I know of (certainly none from us, though maybe someone else has implemented one, but I don’t know of one); it hasn’t come up much.

The linked thread answers your question, and several related ones you’re likely to have, you should definitely read through it.

You can install any package available via your system software package manager in the Software Packages module in Webmin. That does the exact same thing as using the command line to install the package with apt or dnf. You should learn about our system package manager, it’s among the most valuable and important tools on your system.

Virtualmin and Webmin are not package managers, they do not install or manage installed software (even our own!), your OS has that covered (at least, assuming you’re using any reasonable Linux distro), but we do provide a GUI for apt or dnf so you can install and update packages in the GUI.

Thanks, you mentioned software package manager of Webmin.

Virtualmin has all of Webmin. It’s in the tab helpfully labeled “Webmin”.
