  • 5 Months After Migrating Servers, Linux Game Publishing Remains Knocked Out

    Five months ago today was when LGP was planning a server migration with minimal downtime, while to this day they've yet to return.

  • Neverending Nightmares Released For Linux

    Neverending Nightmares is a black and white psychological horror that looks pretty awesome. There are moments of colour for things like blood, but it's mostly black and white.

    The game was funded on Kickstarter last year and hit a tidy $100K, so it's pleasing to see another crowdfunded game have a full release.

  • Tesla Breaks The World! Released For Linux

    Tesla Breaks the World! A platformer that mixes puzzles, adventure and Nikola Tesla into a mixed bag of gameplay.

    The current reviews of the game are mixed, so it's one of those hit-or-miss platformers that you may or may not want to pickup. The current issues with the game seem to stem from the imprecise controlling of your character which is noted in multiple reviews.

  • Preview: Radeon Gallium3D Performance For CS:GO On Linux

    Following last week's release of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive for Linux I published many AMD/NVIDIA GPU benchmarks of CS:GO. Those initial results were done using the proprietary AMD and NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers while starting today will be the open-source graphics driver results for this highly popular Valve game.

  • Intel Haswell HD Graphics With CS:GO On Linux

    Like this morning's RadeonSI results, the Intel HD Graphics 4600 trial run was done with the current Ubuntu 14.10 development packages -- the Linux 3.16 stable kernel and Mesa 10.2.6, although Mesa 10.3 is in the process of landing. As said in the article as well, I will have Mesa 10.3/10.4 results out soon for the open-source Intel/Radeon/Nouveau graphics on Linux, among other Steam on Linux benchmark results.

  • Cosmochoria Released For Linux In Early Access, It's Fun

    Cosmochoria is a funny little game that puts you in the space-suit of little naked cartoon cosmonaut who jet packs around space.

    The game although it is in early access is very playable right now, and it's quite fun as well. The Linux version of the game seems to be well done as far as I can see with no immediate problems that I noticed at all, so it's great to see early access games come out that actually work reasonably well. That's a refreshing change of pace from other early access releases.

  • GOL Cast: Heavy Bombardment In Cannon Braw
  • GOL World Tour: Linux Gaming From Germany

    This instalment of the GOL World Tour visits Germany, differing from the last two in that it will focus on a country more established in the video game industry and that most people will know quite a bit about anyway. So to make it more interesting and less controversial, the History and Culture section has been replaced with some interesting facts.

  • 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.
