Hi
We are setting up new servers and would like to transfer our Content Styles from our old server, how can we do this.
Also is there a way to get a list of packages we have added on the old server so we install them all on the new servers.

Closed (fixed)

If you have custom Content Styles installed via the UI, they can be found in /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/styles and the directories can be simply copied to the new server. Or, you could use Virtualmin's backup feature to include third-party content styles in your backup. Look for the option labeled "Third-party content styles" in the Backup "Virtualmin settings to also backup" section.
The Webmin Cluster category has a Cluster Software Packages module that can compare the installed packages across multiple servers...but this is only sensible if the OS/version across all servers is identical (package names change, dependencies change, conflicts can occur, etc.). So, if your new system is a newer version this is not as useful. I'm also not sure if this module supports Debian and apt-get (I've only used it on RPM-based distros).

Actually, custom styles that you have uploaded will be in /etc/webmin/virtual-server/styles
Oops. Did not know that.
/etc/webmin/virtual-server/styles /usr/share/webmin/virtual-server/styles
I dont have these directories, however my self made custom style resides in /usr/libexec/webmin/virtual-server/styles
Debian and CentOS/RHEL have different paths for the Webmin install directory. /usr/libexec/webmin is the location on CentOS and other RPM based distros, while /usr/share/webmin is the location on Debian/Ubuntu.

I'd recommend using /etc/webmin/virtual-server/styles for your custom styles, as there is less chance of them being deleted if you upgrade the Virtualmin RPM package..
