OpenSUSE Leap 15.1 Beta

  • Leap 15.1 entering Beta phase

    Leap 15.1 entered the Beta phase with build 416.2 that reached the
    mirrors yesterday. Everyone is encouraged to download¹ the current
    builds and help testing. There are also live images to e.g. check
    hardware compatibility without installation.

    The Beta phase will last until mid April. Planned release is before
    the conference in May.

    Issues found need to be filed in Bugzilla². There is also a test
    plan³ to help coordinate the efforts. Feel free to fill in what you
    tested so we get an overview of what was covered already.

    Note that Leap 15.1 did not automatically sync with package versions
    in Factory. That is intentional as 15.1 is meant to be a minor
    update. Please submit any necessary bigger version updates the next
    two weeks to still have time for thorough testing. Please contact
    the release team⁴ in case of questions.

    Users of 42.3 please be aware that 42.3 reaches end of life a few
    weeks after the release of 15.1. In general an update to 15.1
    directly is possible. It's recommended to participate in beta
    testing to make sure your specific workload or use case still works
    after an upgrade.

    The upcoming first point release of the openSUSE Leap 15 operating system series has entered beta phase of development, which will last until mid-April 2019.
    While the OpenSuSE project has no plans to support the openSUSE Leap 42.x series, the openSUSE Leap 42.3 release being the last one to be maintained until June 2019, the development team will concentrate their efforts on the openSUSE Leap 15 operating system series by working on openSUSE Leap 15.1.

    openSUSE Leap 15.1 will be based on the SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE) 15 SP1 (Service Pack 1) operating system and will bring lots of updated packages, new features, and security fixes in up-to-date installation and live medium to facilitate the deployment of openSUSE Leap 15 on new computers.

    Among some of the highlights of the openSUSE Leap 15.1 release, we can mention support for applying updates as a single operation (a.k.a. atomically), improved minimal system installation, support for installations on disk drives with less than 12 GB free space, better UEFI support, GPT (GUID Partition Table) partitioning support, and support for HiDPI displays in the YaST installer.

  • 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.
