- Apache installed by following How To Install Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP (LAMP) stack on Ubuntu 18.04. We’ll use Apache to perform Let’s Encrypt’s domain verification and act as a proxy for Webmin. Ensure you configure access to Apache through your firewall when following this tutorial.
- A Fully-Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), with a DNS A record pointing to the IP address of your server. To configure this, follow the tutorial How To Set Up a Host Name with DigitalOcean.
