  • Paul Wise: FLOSS Activities October 2019
  • Chris Lamb: Free software activities in October 2019

    Whilst anyone can inspect the source code of free software for malicious flaws almost all software is distributed pre-compiled to end users.

    The motivation behind the Reproducible Builds effort is to ensure no flaws have been introduced during this compilation process by promising identical results are always generated from a given source, thus allowing multiple third-parties to come to a consensus on whether a build was compromised.

  • Sparky news 2019/10

    The 10th monthly report of 2019 of the Sparky project:

    • Sparky 5.9 based on Debian stable “Buster” released
    • Linux kernel updated up to version 5.3.8 & 5.4-rc5
    • Perl updated to 5.30 in Debian testing repos, so libgtk2-perl has been removed and -> obmenu-generator as well, from the Openbox edition (rolling/testing line only)
    • sparky-obmenu installs and automatically configures obmenu for Openbox users, instead of obmenu-generator
    • and the Rescue edition’s menu has been reconfigured as well
    • Sparky rolling 2019.11 is on the way, stay tuned

  • Sylvain Beucler: Debian LTS and ELTS - October 2019

    Here is my transparent report for my work on the Debian Long Term Support (LTS) and Debian Extended Long Term Support (ELTS), which extend the security support for past Debian releases, as a paid contributor.

    In October, the monthly sponsored hours were split evenly among contributors depending on their max availability - I was assigned 22.75h for LTS (out of 30 max) and 20h for ELTS (max).

    There was a bit of backlog during my LTS triage week and for once I didn't make a pass at classifying old undetermined issues.

    MITRE was responsive for public (non-embargoed) issues in common free software packages, when I submitted new references or requested a CVE to identify known issues. There was more ball passing and delays when there was an another CNA (CVE Numbering Authorities).

  • Jonathan Wiltshire: Daisy and George’s Corfian Holiday

    Daisy and George have worked hard all year being diplomats in Arabia, helping test Debian CDs and writing best-selling books.

  • How to install go1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04 – NextGenTips

    In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to install go on Ubuntu 22.04 Golang is an open-source programming language that is easy to learn and use. It is built-in concurrency and has a robust standard library. It is reliable, builds fast, and efficient software that scales fast. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel-type systems enable flexible and modular program constructions. Go compiles quickly to machine code and has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. In this guide, we are going to learn how to install golang 1.19beta on Ubuntu 22.04. Go 1.19beta1 is not yet released. There is so much work in progress with all the documentation.

  • 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.
