  • Ubuntu Core: an independent security analysis

    Once in a while an opportunity comes along that brings out our inner geek like no other, which is what happened when Canonical asked if we’d be willing to review the overall cybersecurity model of Ubuntu Core and its ecosystem. We’re no strangers to operating system security — we’ve been hands-on operating system cybersecurity practitioners and contributors dating back to the 1990s, with Berkeley (BSD) Unix and early Intel/embedded variants such as BSD/OS, and in more recent years on embedded Linux platforms for mission-critical devices ranging from card access control systems to medical devices and traffic lights.

    One of the challenges we often run into is that the traditional focus on a wide array of user-centric features has resulted in Linux distributions that are easy-to-use and incredibly powerful, but not well-suited for purpose-specific uses such as appliances and IoT/Industrial IoT (IIoT) devices. Specialized embedded OSs have been available for many decades, but typically have suffered as “closed” products where functionality was limited and enhancements were highly dependent on the vendor. Even more problematic is the lack of “fleet management” functionality. Typically, the embedded OS was installed when the device was shipped, and barring some herculean effort, that same version and functionality were likely still on the device when it went to its grave.

  • Robotics pages on Ubuntu: bridging the gap

    Canonical is not a robotics company, but we like robots and want to support robotics. We do this through contributions to ROS and to ROS 2, as well as developing and supporting Ubuntu Core. The overview page is mostly a restructure of what we had before in order to reflect this. This page focuses on what Ubuntu can offer to organisations looking at robotics in the enterprise. Information was taken out and put onto the other new pages to make this one more concise and consumable. We added new links to more up-to-date content. The links throughout the pages will now send you to learn more about robotics on Ubuntu. And we refreshed the page with new logos under “Companies using ROS on Ubuntu.” These are some of our favourite robotics companies that we know for a fact are using ROS on Ubuntu. Paving the way.

  • 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.
