Virtualmin Setup DigitalOcean

Solved Customisation
  • @Hari yes, this should be fine.

  • @phenomlab one quick question

    host.domain.com virtualmin main domain used during setup (host)
    site.domain.com virtual server created in virtualmin

    i have lets encrypt certificates for both subdomains

    CF A name record is proxed, both sites are opening

    but when i try to access Virtualmin panel by using host.domain.com:10000 it is not opening

    but IP:10000 is working

    what am i missing?

    is CF preventing port access?

  • @Hari said in Virtualmin Setup DigitalOcean:

    is CF preventing port access?

    Yes, but not at the port level. The reason for this is that CF is handling the DNS side of things so when you try to access using your browser, it’s going to resolve to the address in DNS that resolves to CF.

    There’s a number of choices depending on your scenario.

    The most common approach is to create a page page rule that bypass the CF proxy and allows direct access. The issue here of course is that the free plan on CF only allows a small amount of ports, so you’d need to change the VirtualMin listener port to something else dish as 8443 which is routable in the free plan. You can change the VirtualMin port as explained here

    Another approach is to use a management station that has access, and then create a HOSTS file entry that contains a mapping from hostname to IP that overrides the DNS but only for your machine. The preferred order of resolution means host files are read before DNS, and if a match is found then that is used and DNS is ignored.

    The drawback with this is that you’d need to make this change on every single machine where you wanted to gain access. Not insurmountable, but quite clunky if you frequently used multiple machine or your phone to get access.

    The last method, which is by far optimum is to use a vacant or unused domain to access VirtualMin. I do this myself, and it just means that this domain has no other purpose other than to manage the VPS. In other words, it’s not used for web hosting etc. You can still host the DNS in CF, but you’d then need to ensure the proxy is disabled.

  • @phenomlab as suggested i have made a few changes

    changed my port
    changed my host domain from host.domain.com to hos.domain2.com for extra CF page rules

    how can i disable others accessing my IP?
    instead of using hos.domain2.com to manage virutalmin can i directly use my IP to access virtualmin?
    if i proxy or deny direct access to my IP how to give FTP access to one of my admin? as currently we use IP
    they need to access using FTP:hos.domain2.com?

    should i proxy hos.domain2.com at CF? currently i can not access Virtualmin using port how to add page rule to allow my port

  • @Hari said in Virtualmin Setup DigitalOcean:

    how can i disable others accessing my IP?

    Can you clarify this part ? Are you looking to hide the real IP behind CF ?

    @Hari said in Virtualmin Setup DigitalOcean:

    instead of using hos.domain2.com to manage virutalmin can i directly use my IP to access virtualmin?

    Yes, if you aren’t worried about certificate errors

    @Hari said in Virtualmin Setup DigitalOcean:

    should i proxy hos.domain2.com at CF? currently i can not access Virtualmin using port how to add page rule to allow my port

    No, do not proxy it. As soon as you do that, DNS will resolve at CF and not the actual server itself.

  • @phenomlab i thought once i set up the host domain i no longer need to access Virtualmin using IP. later realized that is not how it works.

    how do i install PHPmyadmin to all servers (domains)? … right now i had to do it manually for each and every domain

    though i install phpmyadmin for one domain it is not working, i have tired restarting server and all.

    cdda0c3b-2833-4d10-abbc-49b1f52087f5-image.png

  • @Hari What is in the error log ? Typically, you’d only need to install phpMyAdmin once and as long as it can see your MySQL server and databases, this should be fine.

    That’s a HTTP 500 error which indicates an issue on your side.

  • @phenomlab i messed the server, now i can not delete and reinstall.

    i have created subdomain1, 2, 3 as main servers instead of creating domain and adding them as sub servers. during this process, i requested for more than 5 let’s encrypt certificates and reached the daily limit. Now i have manually bought one certificate from CF Origin Certificate for 15years and installed it for the main domain

    moved all servers as sub servers now i see 403 error

    i hope i do not have any SSL issues all i get is 403 for 3 subdomains how can i fix it?

    Forbidden
    You don'\t have permission to access this resource.
    

    i did not move my main domain yet - planned to move after 1week

  • @Hari what’s in the NGINX error logs for each of these domains ? Looks like a permissions issue to me

  • @phenomlab where do i find it? i think i am not using it

  • @Hari you have the apache build. In that case, can you post one of the virtualhost configs (for one of the domains)

  • @phenomlab where can i find it? sent PM

  • Can you post the configs here remembering to redact sensitive information, and also use the code markers (three backticks) as this makes it much easier to read rather than standard text in a PM.

  • //update// since this is happening when a virtualmin server is moved to subserver i have made the sub server back to main server

    now i am getting Error 521

    trying to solve it using this guide https://bobcares.com/blog/cloudflare-error-521/#:~:text=What causes Cloudflare error 521,received a connection refused error.

    Edit: i have tried multiple ways to fix it at a moment i have felt it is very hard to manage Virtualmin the settings are confusing 😄 now taken the backup of my files and DB and destroyed the doplet

    i have felt it is very hard to manage Virtualmin the settings are confusing

    It’s a bit of a learning curve, admittedly, but very powerful and easy to use provided you understand the implications of what you are doing. For example, moving a VirtualMin server to subserver and then back again without changing underlying components that rely on the correct placement of the server, of course it will no longer work.

    @Hari welcome to Grafana, the most confusing stats package there is !

    According to the guidelines, you certainly have enough RAM at 4gb

    Here is an update. So one of the problems is that I was coding on windows - duh right? Windows was changing one of the forward slashes into a backslash when it got to the files folder where the image was being held. So I then booted up my virtualbox instance of ubuntu server and set it up on there. And will wonders never cease - it worked. The other thing was is that there are more than one spot to grab the templates. I was grabbing the template from the widget when I should have been grabbing it from the other templates folder and grabbing the code from the actual theme for the plugin. If any of that makes sense.

    I was able to set it up so it will go to mydomain/blog and I don’t have to forward it to the user/username/blog. Now I am in the process of styling it to the way I want it to look. I wish that there was a way to use a new version of bootstrap. There are so many more new options. I suppose I could install the newer version or add the cdn in the header, but I don’t want it to cause conflicts. Bootstrap 3 is a little lacking. I believe that v2 of nodebb uses a new version of bootstrap or they have made it so you can use any framework that you want for styling. I would have to double check though.

    Thanks for your help @phenomlab! I really appreciate it. I am sure I will have more questions so never fear I won’t be going away . . . ever, hahaha.

    Thanks again!

    @gotwf said in Email issue (virturalmin):

    @jac Typically you want your domain’s MX records to point to FQDN server name, e.g. foo.example.eg

    % drill stockportcounty.fans mx ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 63911 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; stockportcounty.fans. IN MX ;; ANSWER SECTION: stockportcounty.fans. 600 IN MX 10 stockportcounty.fans.

    Yours do not. Although a bit more drillin’ and reverse lookup indicates thusly;

    % drill stockportcounty.fans ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 160 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; stockportcounty.fans. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: stockportcounty.fans. 600 IN A 65.108.63.35 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ;; Query time: 127 msec ;; SERVER: 204.8.232.207 ;; WHEN: Sun Oct 10 19:37:02 2021 ;; MSG SIZE rcvd: 54 <kvg@loon:~>% drill -x 65.108.63.35 ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, rcode: NOERROR, id: 57802 ;; flags: qr rd ra ; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;; 35.63.108.65.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR ;; ANSWER SECTION: 35.63.108.65.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR vps.stockportcounty.fans.

    I think you probably want your mx record to point to vps.stockportcountry.fans.

    It is important for forward and reverse lookups for MX records jive. Maybe you are looking like a spammer in that they do not?

    Edit: But at least you have a reverse record, many spammers do not, so that is a big red flag.

    Thanks for the advice, will look into it all later once back home.
