Does Virtualmin provides PostgreSQL and nginx server?

Could you suggest how to install the above apps into Virtualmin?

Yes.
Done when you first install Virtualmin.
You start with the LEMP install.
Then select PostgreSQL as your database when you get to the post install options.

That was on a new box + new install.
(I have no idea if it can be done on an install that has been done on the default LAMP + MariaDb install) but in theory it should be

Thanks for the reply.
LAMP +MariaDb was installed default while installing Virtualmin.

But I installed PostgreSQL and nginx manually using ssh.

  1. PostgreSQL database and nginx server has been installed in the server. Where as I could not access those in the installed scripts and available scripts. How to access those via Virtualmin when I install django?

  2. When I installed Django I got this message
    “Applying web server configuration … … not running!”

How to enable the web server?

Install using the --bundle LEMP option, as documented.

Then install the postgresql packages for your OS (they are no longer installed, by default, when installing Virtualmin, and so will not be offered as an option during the setup wizard, so you have to install them manually).

Just for my benefit.
When did that change? and was there a reason (other than PostgresSQL being a bit of a waste of space)?

Virtualmin 6, so four or five years ago? It was because 95% of our users do not use postgresql. It’s easy as heck to install it on any supported OS (assuming one knows how to use the package manager on their preferred OS, which is a fundamental skill for administering a Linux server), so there was no reason to install it, adding to the install footprint and the time it takes to install.

Thanks, didn’t realise I was that old! I only have one box with it on and was pretty sure it was installed with Virtualmin. Hence my suggestion above. Only one client has any use for it and I don’t. hence my negativity for postgresql. Most use mongoose or other non sql orms and just like nodejs that is done outside Virtualmin.
