Note: The installation may take a few minutes and will depend on the speed of your server. After it is done, the installation will display a message with the Webmin admin URL.
Step 2: Open your Webmin URL in a browser, such as https://ip-address here:10000

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=10000/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
The Webmin Dashboard will open. Webmin's new design looks great.
