Include Features and Plugins settings to Virtualmin's backup

Submitted by yngens on Tue, 10/10/2017 - 13:16

Apparently, whatever you set on Features and Plugins page, it won't get backed up together with other Virtualmin's configuration settings. We would like to be able to restore Virtualmin's settings including Features and Plugins on the newly deployed Virtualmin systems. So please include Features and Plugins to Virtualmin's backup.

Meanwhile, can you please guide how to automatize disabling certain options like, for example, ProFTPD virtual FTP on Features and Plugins page via bash script. We usually turn certain options in /etc/webmin/virtual-server/config, but unfortunately there is no option for disabling ProFTPD virtual FTP.

Do you mean specifically including which features are enabled or disabled in the backup?

If you want to automate this, you can actually edit /etc/webmin/virtual-server/config - it's possible to turn off ProFTPd by setting the ftp=1 line to ftp=0

I was comparing directories not recursively, so couldn't detect the change in the file on the first run. Thanks for pointing to right solution.
