Webmin stops working

[stevespaw]

I am getting started and have Cloudron running now.
I had Webmin preinstalled before installing Cloudron. But now once Cloudron starts it kills Webmin. Is this to be expected? Can I fix this?

This is probably to be expected, Cloudron will essentially take over the whole server and generally installing things on the side is not supported and will break eventually. This is mostly because a platform like Cloudron needs to modify lots of system components to work as well as it makes it much easier to provide tested updates in an ongoing manner.

Thanks, I am trying to wrap my head around how this works. The concepts seems great. If I have a docker app that I use, I am trying to understand how this works in this eco system. I may for example have to tweak a config file. Any way to do this without SSH? This is what I use Webmin for, for non linux people - I am also a noob

This very much depends on the app you install. Often they have config files which can be edited (local to the container though, not the host system). For this the Cloudron dashboard has a webterminal into the app to edit or use the webbased filemanager with the built-in text editor.

@nebulon So, I am looking for the web terminal and this file manager. I am sure I am missing something simple.....

Ahh I found them - they are in the app that is installed! Got it!
