"I've been trying to install Webmin on my Ubuntu 18.04 server following various guides, but I keep running into issues. After adding the repository and updating, the installation seems to complete, but I can’t access Webmin at **https://[server IP]:10000/**. I checked that `ufw` is allowing port 10000, but still no luck. Restarting Webmin with `sudo systemctl restart webmin` doesn’t seem to help either. I'm wondering if there's something outdated in the process or if Webmin no longer supports 18.04 properly. Should I be looking at a different method? I found this updated guide on **[Install Webmin on Ubuntu](https://docs.vultr.com/how-to-install-webmin-on-ubuntu-24-04)**—would following those steps work on my version, or should I consider upgrading my server? Any advice would be appreciated!"
