  • Lair of the Clockwork God Mac and Linux versions available now

    Open source (and very, very, very closed source) fans rejoice! Lair of the Clockwork God is now available on Linux and Mac OS.

    Let’s just be clear for a second: We loved Lair of the Clockwork God. It’s funny, it’s heartwarming, and it’s unique. It’s a splicing of point-and-click and platforming that blunts the biggest flaws of each with structure and pacing. But most of all, it’s so very clever.

    In our review, we talked about it in the same breath as Portal, The Stanley Parable and Return of the Obra Dinn. That’s just how clever it is.

  • 2D isometric adventure 'BEAUTIFUL DESOLATION' now has a Linux Beta available

    Another project successfully funded (see more here) and released thanks to a crowdfunding campaign, and so far it looks like it's been a hit with players. Since the release last month, it's already got a "Very Positive" rating on Steam.

    If you own it or plan to pick it up soon and wish to help test, you can find the details on how to get involved in this Steam forum topic. This is a pretty quick turnaround on the port, so the game must be quite stable as they originally said Linux would happen once the Windows build was solid.

  • Rocket League March Update features blueprint trade-ins & the end of Mac/Linux support

    Rocket League is about to get its next update. Psyonix just announced that the March update for rocket-powered car soccer is just around the corner. There are features such as new blueprints and the ability trade blueprints in for better ones. That said, the March update is also unfortunately the setting sun of support for Mac and Linux. This is the last update both platforms will get.

  • Rocket League’s Last Update for Mac and Linux Releases March 10

    Rocket League developer Psyonix detailed what is coming in the March update for the game, which will also be the final update for the Mac and Linux versions.

    The update for all platforms changes a few default settings for the camera and controls, adds three Dynamic Range Presets for the game’s HDR Audio, and features the ability to trade in five Blueprints of the same series and rarity for a higher rarity blueprint in return.

    The March update also disables all online features for the Mac and Linux versions, such as matchmaking and in-game purchases.

  • 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.
