  • Challenging roguelike spaceship simulator 'Shortest Trip to Earth' released for Linux

    Shortest Trip to Earth takes elements of FTL, and then sprinkles in a huge amount more to make it have a lot more depth and quite a lot of challenge to it. Originally released in August last year, the Linux release arrived a few days ago.

    The tutorial is definitely recommended to go through on this one. When you first get into the game, it's pretty clear it's needed as they advertise the "brutal" difficulty of it. If you lose all your crew and/or your ship is destroyed, it's game over. However, you can unlock certain perks to help your next run.

  • Humble 2K's Game Together Bundle went live with a few Linux games

    Humble Bundle has a new set of games ready with the Humble 2K's Game Together Bundle, there's a few nice picks for Linux gaming fans in it and more if you use Steam Play Proton.

    For actual Linux support, there's not a lot. What's there though, is definitely good. In the first tier for £1 / $1 you can get Spec Ops: The Line for Linux. Plus there's also The Darkness II, Sid Meier's Pirates! and Carnival Games VR.

    If you pay more than the average it includes the BioShock: The Collection, with that having BioShock Infinite as part of the package which does support Linux and is a huge amount of fun. There's also The Golf Club 2019, Sid Meier's Civilization III: Complete and NBA 2K Playgrounds 2.

  • Gun simulating first-person shooter 'Receiver 2' is out now

    Wolfire Games have released 'Receiver 2', their brand new first-person shooter that takes gun simulation to an interesting level that makes it different to other traditional shooters.

    Acting as a much expanded sequel to the first iteration, Wolfire Games have taken the basic idea and expanded all parts of it. Receiver 2 simulates every internal part of each firearm based on manufacturer schematics and gunsmithing resources and can help people learn about guns including how to load and unload them, clear malfunctions, and operate their safety features.

  • UNIGINE 2 Community is a new edition of the powerful cross-platform game engine that's free to use

    Are you a game developer or an enthusiast looking to use a cross-platform and powerful game engine? UNIGINE 2 is now available in a 'Community' edition that's FREE to use.

    Once one of the most promising game engines around, UNIGINE doesn't really get a lot of press and not a lot of games use it but their feature set is impressive. It's also the tech that powers their very popular benchmarks including Superposition, Valley, Heaven, Tropics and Sanctuary.

  • Free and open source Master of Orion clone 'Remnants of the Precursors' has a Beta release

    Remember the original Master of Orion? Remnants of the Precursors is a strict feature clone of the 1993 classic. It's free, open source and a Beta version is out now. Given the age of Master of Orion, it's nice to see a fresh modern take on it while sticking to what made the original popular.

    The developer said it's feature-complete and fully playable, to the point that it should be enjoyable. However, there's plenty still to do before it reaches the shiny 1.0. They're still working through bug fixes, AI improvements, new artwork, additional writing, translations and so on.

  • 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.
