    Webmin configures the OS with a GUI whereas Cloudron is a GUI front-end for Docker. They are not similar.

    Cloudrons main purpose is managing premade docker container. It will take care of installation, updates, backups and much more. Webmin on the other hand is a tool to help manage Linux servers. Completely different tools.
