			echo "deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository `lsb_release -cs` contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/percona.list

Start Using

By default, webmin starts on port 10000 with https. So you can open https://example.com/10000 in browser. Ignore any security warning that browser may give if example.com do not have a SSL certificate.

Hey I’m not getting anything after I try to add the repos, and after updating, I get these two:

 W: Failed to fetch http://download.webmin.com/download/repository/dists/precise/contrib/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository/dists/precise/contrib/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Are they at a different address now?

It looks like temporary error. Can you give it a try again?

Update on repo.
I use this instead and the repo seems to work. create new webmin.list via nano and add the two line.

nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webmin.list

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
deb http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib

then apt-get update
