Virtualmin

Virtualmin is an open-source web hosting control panel for Linux and BSD, built on top of Webmin, that lets administrators and resellers manage websites, virtual servers, DNS, email, FTP, databases, SSL certificates, WordPress and more from a single interface. Distributed as a community GPL edition and a commercial Pro edition, Virtualmin (with its sibling Cloudmin for VM/cloud management) has run for 20+ years and manages over a million domains across 200K+ active users. For automation it exposes a command-line API and an HTTP-based Remote API served from Webmin's remote.cgi on port 10000, covering ~200 documented programs for creating and modifying virtual servers, users, aliases, databases, resellers, plans, templates, SSL certs, backups and cloud storage, with plain-text, JSON, XML or Perl output.

Virtualmin publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Web Hosting, Control Panel, Server Management, and Webmin.

Virtualmin’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, authentication, CLI, and 14 more developer resources.

  description: HTTP-based Remote API served from Webmin's remote.cgi on port 10000. Each call passes a `program` parameter
    naming one of ~200 command-line programs (create-domain, list-domains, create-user, create-alias, create-database, generate-letsencrypt-cert,
    backup-domain, etc.) plus that program's parameters as CGI query/POST params. Authentication is HTTP Basic as the Webmin
    master administrator. Output is plain text with an exit-status line, or JSON (json=1), XML (xml=1) or Perl (perl=1); list-*
    programs accept multiline for detailed output. The API is self-hosted per Virtualmin installation.
