Did a clean installation using default netinstall of Debian 12.
So I venture into starting a KVM host and got an error

eeeek well that didn’t work as planned is there a video walkthrough on cloudmin so I can verify I am intuiting the process of getting things going?
Well in the meantime I found a bookworm raw cloud image and got er uploaded locally but enough is enough for today I’ve been surfing quite some time.
I found there were similar issues other people were having and Jamie asked for a log file not long ago and the thread was closed something do to a signature error I believe not sure. But they mention pretty much all the same thing.
Anyway most likely all signs point to Repository woes for cloudmin I assume that need to be fixed on that end so I’ll wait see if I can get some feedback on this one instead of banging the keyboard and staying up till 3AM reading over posts.
Would be great if there were video’s on setup so I could at least have affirmation that I am intuiting the interface correctly as I believe it should work but that kind of media is like finding buried treasure for virtualmin stuff it seems or if its out there its not tagged well for searches to find it?
Well figured it might be the distro was temporarily out of order tried again just now get the same error. So yeah nothing else really sticks out as to why this would be in logs other than like I say not having the same username and server name.
@jcameron Jamie, the Cloudmin installer should use the correct package name.
Also, we need to create a new repo under GitHub.com/webmin for Cloudmin users, like cloudmin-gpl or server-manager, so users would be able to report the problem in the right place.
Having a heck of a time I don’t think its possible to get cloudmin up and running with a VM at current I think there is too many package manager issues…
Got a VM up and running problem being its only SSH for status.
so I try to install webmin or virtualmin and I get repo errors again.
Installing Webmin on superhosting.localhost from APT …
… install failed : Failed to upload Webmin public key : scp: dest open “\/tmp\/jcameron\-key\.asc”: No such file or directory scp: failed to upload file /usr/share/webmin/server-manager/jcameron-key.asc to \/tmp\/jcameron\-key\.asc
Either that or I am in some scatter brained nightmare at the moment…
Virtualmin was fairly intuitive you get your servers up and going fairly simply the security settings and a few other things are things you must configure on your own more or less but reasonable the problem is getting up and running and getting to that point is not currently possible using what I would consider normal anyways.
What I presumed is I could install my kvm image after setting up networking and have virtualmin installed when I click the radial selector to do so. I pull up my server and it says status SSH.
I try to install virtualmin or webmin even and it errors out ? Do I have to copy and use the same SSH keys across servers or is this a repo issue related to the other repo issue? Or is there maybe something else I’m potentially doing wrong?
This is correct I already affirmed there are some odd distro errors with the maker of cloudmin as stated I just posted some more in case they need the info that might be helpful in tracking things down quite possibly.
But I can look in my package manager and see my version of debian from pro has bookworm repos included so it isn’t that they are not included I am trying a few things like installing virtualmin security at current to see if this helps maybe things will work we shall see. Been at it off and on trying to ensure I’m not doing something wrong per say.
