Is there a way to safely install Virtualmin after already having the LAMP Stack installed?
The reason that I need Virtualmin is that I need to create multiple domain email addresses and create DNS records such as DKIM, SPF, DMARC, etc… I noticed that it’s easy to do this with Virtualmin. I already have Postfix installed as well, but I was advised by Joe who runs Virtualmin that this may be a bad idea, but still possible.
Has anyone successfully installed Virtualmin after installing LAMP stack?
Also, do I really need Virtualmin to create domain email addresses and DNS records or is there a better and easier way of doing so?
Thanks for any support.

Hi there @AaronEsteban1,
I believe that Virtualmin is a good choice for a server admin panel. However I would recommend installing it on a fresh Droplet as it does some customizations and would not be happy that there are other services already running.
This is also recommedned on the Virtualmin official website:
Start with a freshly installed OS on your server or VPS.
And also they mention the following:
Do not pre-install or pre-configure any additional packages on your OS.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
