  • From openbox to sway

    I've been running the Openbox window manager since 2005. That's longer then I've lived in any one apartment in my entire life!

    However, over the years I've been bracing for a change.

    It seems clear the Wayland is the future, although when that future is supposed to begin is much more hazy.

    Really, I've felt a bit like a ping pong ball, from panicking over whether Xorg is abandoned to anxiously wondering if literally everything will break the moment I switch to Wayland.

    In fact, I started this blog post over a year ago when I first decided to switch from the Openbox to Sway.

    This is my third major attempt to make the change and I think it will finally stick this time.

  • How to install Roblox Game on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Linux

    Roblox is not just a game but a whole universe that the Roblox community has created over time. Although it is officially available for Windows 10, macOS, Amazon store, Android, and Xbox One, is it possible to install Roblox on Linux such as Ubuntu somehow? Well, the answer is Yes. We can test it using Wine but some glitches would be there depending upon the system. Nevertheless, in our usage of Roblox on Ubuntu 20.04, it worked perfectly fine…

    In Roblox, we can play one of the thousands of mini-games or create our own. There are no limits to your creativity. The graphic style of Roblox is based on Lego bricks o Minecraft, but in principle, Roblox is more similar to the module system of Gameglobe, a 3D game kit that has already been shut off by Square Enix just after few years of launch. The selection of games ranges from shooters and platformers to puzzles and RPGs. Design your own characters, conditions to win, challenges, in the short whole virtual world according to your own ideas.

  • 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.
