I decided to give Ubuntu 20.04 LTS a quick Virtualmin test. I loaded a new machine with 18.04 LTS (min install + Lubuntu gui) , Loaded Virtualmin via the install script, and then ran the the upgrade process. All of this seemed to work very smoothly.
I then “Restored” via Virtualmin a couple of web sites with email.
Issues found.
-
Webmin. Nothing at all is displayed in the “System >> Running Processes” section of Webmin (all sections), and number of processes displayed on the Dashboard shows “0”.
-
I tried to recreate the dnssec key in BIND and was greeted with the following message
Creating DNSSEC key for captnslounge.com …
… creation failed : dnssec-keygen: fatal: The -r option has been deprecated. System random data is always used.
Is there a way to fix this locally? I’d like to continue if possible and see if I can get a working server.
- In the “Servers Status” section of Dashboard, Dovecot is shown as not running. I did a ps -ef| grep dovecot and I’m seeing 4 processes running dovecot. Hard to tell, but I assume that it is running OK.
Food for thought (enhancement request).

The first attempt never got off the ground as I used btrFS. Everything installed correctly, loaded Virtualmin, and then the machine would not boot. Seemed to be using ext4 options in the etc/fstab for the home directory. “data=ordered,relatime,rw,grpquota,usrquota,quota”. Should have had a warning message during Virtualmin install, or support other file systems.
-
php >> fpm/pool.d … These were all recreated, which means I lost all the php settings that I had. No idea if this is feasable, but could those web_site_fpm.conf files be apart of the backup?
Concussion.
I know this is a simple test I’m conducting and have onlt scratched the surface of Virtual / Webmin, this is looking very hopefull.
Hope this helps a little …
