  • CockroachDB relicensed

    The CockroachDB database management system has been relicensed; the new license is non-free.

  • Why We’re Relicensing CockroachDB

    CockroachDB was conceived of as open source software. In the years since it first appeared on GitHub, we’ve tread a relatively typical path in balancing open source with creating a viable business. We’ve kept our core code under the Apache License version 2 (APL), launched a managed service, and gated some features for established companies under an enterprise license.

  • CockroachDB Wants To Take A Bite Out Of Oracle [Ed: Missing the real news, which is CockroachDB becoming proprietary software and screwing FOSS after using that premise to capture users]

    Cockroach Labs has created a clone of Google’s Spanner geographically distributed database, and it looks like adoption of the CockroachDB database is starting to ride up the blade of the proverbial hockey stick and is moving quickly towards the much steeper handle.

    According to Spencer Kimball, one of the company’s co-founders and its chief executive officer and importantly one of the ex-Googlers that created Spanner, the company started selling CockroachDB support contracts last year, and in the first quarter of this year it did a little more business than it did in all of 2018, and in the second quarter it almost doubled the business it was doing in the first quarter. Companies that tried CockroachDB in a proof of concept and then a net new project are coming back and re-upping for 3X, 4X, 8X, and sometimes 40X the subscriptions, and at the same time the company has 50 paying customers out of tens of thousands who have downloaded and played with the software. That base of paying customers is growing very fast, too.

  • 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.
