What are some good Web-based UI for a server OS?
I recently got an older server. 6gb RAM, 1x2tb RAID array. 4 core CPU. Literally an old file server.
I upgraded their server and took this one.
It originally came with Server 2008, but I was unable to recover the key (they wiped the drives and it didn't have a sticker on it.
I was wondering of a linux OS with a web-based GUI. I have used Webmin in the past, and I like it, but it doesn't seem to be updated very often.
I want to know if there are any similar to you Webmin that you like to use. I don't really want to hang out in my office staring at a screen and I ain't great with terminal commands (through SSH). I like the module options like in Webmin. I have also tried Cockpit project, but it doesn't have much on it. And ClearOS is not that easy to use when setting up samba share. Amahi, I have the same issues.
What are your recommendations??

Linux GUIs tend to be very limited in what types of actions they can perform.
Before you go the GUI route, make sure the work you'll be doing on your server, lends itself well to a GUI system.
Many server tasks are better done on the command line.
