Installing cloudmin on top of virtualmin pro?

Is there any problem with installing cloudmin on top of virtualmin pro? I am finding it hangs at attempting to install cloudmin after virtualmin.

Here is the output:

root@giggle:/home# sudo ./cloudmin-install.sh

---

•        Welcome to the Cloudmin installer, version 1.1          *

A couple of things:

1. You should never use the tarball version of anything on a distro with a good package manager. Ubuntu has a good package manager. (Really, that’s just wild west chaos that you should never embark on.)
2. Ubuntu 22.04 is not yet supported by our Cloudmin installer or Cloudmin itself. It will be soon, it is my current development focus. I can’t say exactly when it’ll be available, though.

[Joe]

Also, I’m not super-confident running that version of the script wouldn’t do some actual damage to your Virtualmin install. Tarballs have no protections against, well, anything. You’re lucky that it failed (though I don’t understand why it failed, but since this version of the install script won’t exist soon, I’m not going to try to figure it out).

I understand and thank you for the quick reply. Are we looking at support in days, weeks, or months for ubuntu22.04? I can migrate to a supported os, but strongly prefer whats already installed.
Thank you again

[Joe]

I don’t know, but probably weeks, not days or months.

And, I would recommend you wait. The only supported distros are quite old at this point. But, I’ll also mention that you may want to run Cloudmin on its own system, instead of on the same system as Virtualmin. When I’m setting up hardware, I install Cloudmin, and then run Virtualmin inside VMs managed by Cloudmin (so, same physical system, but Cloudmin is installed at the top physical layer). Running Cloudmin and Virtualmin together is possible, but it doesn’t really make sense.

Thank you ffor your recommendation! Understood.
