  • The first expansion to Surviving Mars revealed with Space Race giving you a little competition

    Surviving Mars is set to get a bit more competitive with the Space Race expansion just announced pitting you against rival colonies.

    While I do love Surviving Mars one thing is for sure, it can end up feeling lonely after many hours. Space Race will change that, as AI colonies from rival sponsors will also attempt to set foot on Mars. You will be competing for the already light resources, trade with them, pinch their colonists, deal with distress calls and more.

  • Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor enters Early Access and it's fantastic, you can win a key

    Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor is probably going to suck a lot of my free time dry with the easy to use drone builder, lots of fun options to give it some AI along with fun combat.

    The developer, Stray Fawn Studio, previously released the genetics survival game 'Niche' which also supports Linux. While I liked the idea, I wasn't a big fan of it overall. Then along comes Nimbatus on Kickstarter last year which made me love the developer. Taking inspiration from games like Faster Than Light, Reassembly, Kerbal Space Program and Besiege it was quite impressive. Especially so since they had a working Linux demo from the very beginning.

  • Streets of Rogue adds 60 new traits along with a new booth to adjust your traits, plus livestream VOD is up

    Streets of Rogue, the excellent and completely ridiculous rogue-lite that allows a lot of freedom just had another rather interesting update.

    The developer is continuing to polish the game now towards an eventual release, since the game now actually has a rather brilliant ending. With update 61, you can now find an addition 60 character traits. Some of them do require you to unlock them with Nuggets, which you earn each time you do optional missions or level up during a run. They're a permanent currency that persist between runs, so you can go to your "Home Base" to unlock stuff.

    Some of the new traits are hilarious like "Friend of the Family" that causes Mobsters to be aligned with you, "Bullet Breaker" allowing your bullets to break enemy bullets, "Wall Walloper" giving melee weapons the power to destroy certain walls, "Burning Bullets" giving your bullets the ability to set things alight and much more.

  • Descent: Underground is now just Descent and plans to release next year, new trailer up

    Descendant Studios have teamed up with Little Orbit to bring the new Descent out in full next year, along with a new trailer.

  • Colony builder Maia has a massive upgrade, leaving Early Access later this month

    The colony building simulation game Maia just had a pretty huge patch and the developer announced it's leaving Early Access on October 30th. In the recent update notes, the developer Simon Roth noted that while the game will be leaving Early Access, it will still be updated. They will be sticking with their no-DLC policy and so future upgrades will be free.

  • 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.
