Question 1

Ajenti vs Webmin: which is better for home servers?

Accepted Answer

Ajenti is lighter and has a more modern interface, but Webmin offers a broader plugin ecosystem and longer stability. For low-resource setups, Ajenti shines; for extensive feature needs, Webmin might be preferable.

Question 2

How to install Ajenti on Ubuntu 20.04?

Accepted Answer

Install via pip and the provided script from the documentation. Ensure Python3 is installed, run the installer, and access the web interface on the default port (usually 8000). Detailed steps are on the Ajenti docs site.

Question 3

Is Ajenti safe to expose to the internet?

Accepted Answer

While it includes authentication, it's recommended to use HTTPS, firewall rules, and VPN access for security. Public exposure increases risk, as web admin panels are common targets for attacks.

Question 4

Can Ajenti manage Docker containers?

Accepted Answer

No, Ajenti focuses on traditional server management and lacks built-in Docker support. Plugins for container management might be planned, but it's not a core feature currently.

Question 5

How to create a custom plugin for Ajenti?

Accepted Answer

Use Python with Ajenti's APIs; the documentation provides a tutorial for writing your first plugin. It involves defining plugin classes and leveraging the framework for UI and backend integration.

Question 6

Does Ajenti support multiple users with different permissions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it has basic user management, but role-based permissions might be limited. Check the documentation for current ACL features, as advanced granular controls may not be fully implemented.
