Webmin
From ArchWiki
Webmin runs as a service. Using webmin, you can administer other services and server configuration using a web browser, either from the server or remotely.
From the webmin website
- Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.

Installation
Webmin requires perl-net-ssleay to enable access via https.
To install the latest versions of Webmin, and perl-net-ssleay, run
pacman -Sy webmin perl-net-ssleay
Configuration
To allow access to webmin from a remote computer, edit /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf to include your network address. (Note - 127.0.0.1 is there by default)
allow=127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0
The above example allows all computers on the 192.168.1.0 network to access webmin.
Starting
Start webmin
/etc/rc.d/webmin start
Include webmin in the DAEMONS=() section of rc.conf to start it on boot.
DAEMONS=(.. vsftpd webmin ...)
Using
In a web browser, enter the https address of the server with the port number 10000 to access webmin - for example:
https://192.168.1.1:10000 -or- https://myserver.example.net:10000
You will need to enter the root password of the server running webmin to use the webmin interface and administer the server.
