Is webmin a good choice or is there other alternatives. I have used
cockpit for sometime but webmin has more options. Also how do i setup
two factor in webmin using authy?

Yes.

By reading and following the documention:

authentication

SSH?

I also used Webmin for years. But now I only use Cloudpanel and
Easypanel.
I've never used Webmin to the full extent that it offers anyway.

Tell us more! I guess you are referring to
[https://www.cloudpanel.io](https://www.cloudpanel.io) and
[https://easypanel.io](https://easypanel.io)? How do those replace
Webmin for you? And why/how use both?

It was all a while ago and I never fully exploited the potential that
Webmin offers.
I once created a user or made a few settings for the respective vHosts
- that was all.
Then at some point - after I had learned a bit more - I switched to
managing the servers manually.
For some time now, however, I have been using Cloudpanel and
Easypanel. Cloudpanel on two servers just to host my PHP projects,
Easypanel on another server to try out a few other things, like all
the tools in the one-click installation of Easypanel. It's all pretty
simple and convenient.

I love webmin. It helped me alot to figure out server config. I don't
expose it to external network though and only use VPN to connect to
it.

I use webmin instead of exposing ssh to external network. What vpn do
you use?

I don't use authy. I use open VPN.
