I tried setting up Virtualmin here on DigitalOcean and it consistently fails with errors. I’ve tried those very same servers with other hosts on a VPS without any issues. Any recommendations on how to install virtualmin here on DigitalOcean?

Hi there,
What are the exact errors that you are seeing?
I’ve just tested this on a 2GB RAM Ubuntu 20.04 Droplet and 1GB swap file and it worked as expected.
After creating the Droplet, I added an A record for a test domain to point to the Droplet’s IP address as I could then use that domain as the hostname for the Virtualmin installation.
Next, I used the following instructions to do the installation:
Download the installation script:
And then run it:
After that just follow the installation flow.
What OS were you using with the other hosting provider that the installation was successful for?
Best,
Bobby
