login as root or use sudo for the following commands.

now you'll need to add the webmin sources list by editing /etc/apt/sources.list by using nano, vi or another method.

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

then use i to edit the file and (esc) then :wq to write the file to memory.

once you've done that you can add the Webmin PGP key

wget http://www.webmin.com/jcameron-key.asc

then

apt-key add jcameron-key.asc

now update using 

apt update

I like to also install perl as it seems to prevent some issues

apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python

and finally install webmin 

apt install webmin

continue (y)

Now you can login with https://(server-IP/domain):10000

How to run restore Microsoft Edge Classic and/or run Edge Chromium at the same time.

If you're a designer/developer and used the Edge F12 developer tools the new Edge Chromium was a major downgrade in this regard. So you may want to reinstall Edge just for this purpose.

If you have already installed Edge Chromium or it was installed in a recent update you can follow these steps to bring back the classic Edge and/or run both browsers at the same time.

 

First, download the Edge Chromium installer and Policy Files from here: 

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download

Now extract the Policy files any copy msedge.admx and msedgeupdate.admx from the extracted folder.

copy these to the C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions folder on your computer.

Once you have done that then open group policy editor, 

once open, under Computer Configuration go to Administrative Templates, Microsoft Edge Update, Applications then open "Allow Microsoft Edge Side by Side browser experience" and set to enabled.

now uninstall Edge Chromium.

Once its uninstalled open search and type "Edge" and the old edge icon should show up, pin this to your task bar because you will not be able to after Chromium is reinstalled. 

Now if you want Chromium installed as well, install the .msi package from the step above that you downloaded from Microsoft downloads.

Now you should be able to run both browsers together.
