Original and Larabel's Take

  • Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) released

    Codenamed "Cosmic Cuttlefish", 18.10 continues Ubuntu's proud tradition
    of integrating the latest and greatest open source technologies into a
    high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at
    work through this cycle, introducing new features and fixing bugs.

    The Ubuntu kernel has been updated to the 4.18 based Linux kernel,
    our default toolchain has moved to gcc 8.2 with glibc 2.28, and we've
    also updated to openssl 1.1.1 and gnutls 3.6.4 with TLS1.3 support.

    Ubuntu Desktop 18.04 LTS brings a fresh look with the community-driven
    Yaru theme replacing our long-serving Ambiance and Radiance themes. We
    are shipping the latest GNOME 3.30, Firefox 63, LibreOffice 6.1.2, and
    many others.

    Ubuntu Server 18.10 includes the Rocky release of OpenStack including
    the clustering enabled LXD 3.0, new network configuration via netplan.io,
    and iteration on the next-generation fast server installer. Ubuntu Server
    brings major updates to industry standard packages available on private
    clouds, public clouds, containers or bare metal in your datacentre.

  • How To Install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9 - idroot

    In this tutorial, we will show you how to install MongoDB on AlmaLinux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, MongoDB is a high-performance, highly scalable document-oriented NoSQL database. Unlike in SQL databases where data is stored in rows and columns inside tables, in MongoDB, data is structured in JSON-like format inside records which are referred to as documents. The open-source attribute of MongoDB as a database software makes it an ideal candidate for almost any database-related project. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the MongoDB NoSQL database on AlmaLinux 9. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux.

  • Self-host a Ghost Blog With Traefik

    Ghost is a very popular open-source content management system. Started as an alternative to WordPress and it went on to become an alternative to Substack by focusing on membership and newsletter. The creators of Ghost offer managed Pro hosting but it may not fit everyone's budget. Alternatively, you can self-host it on your own cloud servers. On Linux handbook, we already have a guide on deploying Ghost with Docker in a reverse proxy setup. Instead of Ngnix reverse proxy, you can also use another software called Traefik with Docker. It is a popular open-source cloud-native application proxy, API Gateway, Edge-router, and more. I use Traefik to secure my websites using an SSL certificate obtained from Let's Encrypt. Once deployed, Traefik can automatically manage your certificates and their renewals. In this tutorial, I'll share the necessary steps for deploying a Ghost blog with Docker and Traefik.
