Howdy,

It unfortunately isn’t really going to work in your case, as virtualmin-base on that distro/version depends on it.

Would it work to disable that service though? You can disable the running service in Webmin -> System -> Bootup and Shutdown.

After doing that, you can go into Virtualmin -> System Settings -> Features and Plugins, and there, you can disable the actual Virtualmin feature.
