Dont see self installed scripts

Virtualmin
1

I have a question and that is, I just added a script under “usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/scripts”, but it does not show up for me in the Install Scripts section at Virtualmin why is that?

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Debian Linux 10 e.g. (Linux 4.19.0-25-arm64 on aarch64)
Webmin version 2.101
Virtualmin version 7.8.2

Hello,

What script you are trying to add exactly?

I’m not too sure about this third-party script – I don’t know if it’s safe or if it even works. But just so you know, Virtualmin Pro has a built-in NodeJS installer that should be not only a better but also a safer choice.

If you still want to try out the third-party one, you can find it under System Settings ⇾ Script Installers.

Personally I wouldn’t use this:

  1. it installs php (and version 5!) php is not needed for node
  2. it installs “latest” Node version (not always advisable or even wanted)
  3. I am not sure what it has to do with mysql (Node uses many different databases and controls them from within its own package.json) most of my implementations have nothing to do with mysql.

It might be suitable for the system which it was written for, but personally I think it requires a careful rewrite. Anyway what is so difficult about doing this yourself?
