webmin.dev: webmin/webmin / build (push) Has been cancelled
Webmin now uses the bundled QRCode::Encoder implementation by default to generate TOTP QR codes locally and inline, without relying on qr.cgi or external services. This encoder requires Perl 5.24 or newer, so qrencode is no longer included as a recommended package dependency. On older systems where the bundled encoder cannot run, admins can still install qrencode manually to restore QR generation support. Systems old enough to lack Perl 5.24 are typically already well past their supported security lifecycle, so keeping qrencode preinstalled by default is no longer treated as a packaging requirement. When neither option is available, Webmin falls back cleanly to manual TOTP setup using the shared secret. https://github.com/webmin/webmin/issues/2667#issuecomment-4247431279 [no-build]

About
Webmin is a web-based system administration tool for Unix-like servers, and services with about 1,000,000 yearly installations worldwide. Using it, it is possible to configure operating system internals, such as users, disk quotas, services or configuration files, as well as modify, and control open-source apps, such as BIND DNS Server, Apache HTTP Server, PHP, MySQL, and many more.
Usability can be expanded by installing modules, which can be custom made. Aside from this, there are two other major projects that extend its functionality:
- Virtualmin is a powerful, flexible, most popular, and most comprehensive web-hosting control panel for Linux, and BSD systems, with over 150,000 installations worldwide. It is available in an open-source community-supported version, and a more feature-filled version with premium support;
- Usermin presents and controls a subset of user-centred features, rather than administrator-level tasks.
Webmin includes 116 standard modules, and there are at least as many third-party modules.
Requirements
Perl 5.10 or higher.
