SSH config, tmux, Ansible, Uptime Kuma, Zabbix and Webmin, ranked by how many servers you have: what each replaces, setup cost in minutes, the one gotcha.
Install Webmin on Ubuntu 24.04, then lock it down: SSH tunnel or IP allowlist, a real Let's Encrypt cert, two-factor, and Fail2ban on port 10000.
Cockpit or Webmin on your Ubuntu VPS: what each panel can change, how each logs you in, why neither belongs on a public port, and when to use neither.
Webmin ships no default username or password. The login is a system account. Reset a forgotten password or clear a blocked host from the shell.
