  • GNU Guix 1.3.0 released

    We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Guix version 1.3.0!

    The release comes with ISO-9660 installation images, a virtual machine image, and with tarballs to install the package manager on top of your GNU/Linux distro, either from source or from binaries. Guix users can update by running guix pull.

    It’s been almost 6 months since the last release, during which 212 people contributed code and packages, and a number of people contributed to other important tasks—code review, system administration, translation, web site updates, Outreachy mentoring, and more.

    There’s been more than 8,300 commits in that time frame, which we’ll humbly try to summarize in these release notes.

  • Request to reinstate project: m4-1.4.18b.pot
    The following beta release includes a new m4.pot, where we would like to
reinstate the m4 translation domain with disclaimers required (since FSF
owns M4 copyright):

file m4-1.4.18b/po/m4.pot within
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/m4/m4-1.4.18b.tar.xz
announced at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/m4-discuss/2021-05/msg00001.html

Notice of translations can be sent to m4-patches@gnu.org; a mere URL of
the available translation would be sufficient (no need to send
translations themselves, since m4's bootstrap is designed to download
the .po files prior to release, the list posts are just a courtesy
rather than a patch to be applied manually).

See also [1], where the m4 package was removed, because at the time
there had never been a released build of m4 that used m4.pot.  More than
10 years ago, when m4.pot was first uploaded, it was for a version
number 1.9.x in preparation for an experimental 2.0 release; that
release is nowhere near close, but in the meantime, the stable branch
for m4 1.4.x has finally enabled the use of translations [2].  The set
of strings for 1.9.x are probably dissimilar enough from 1.4.18b that it
is not worth trying to revive the old translations, rather, you can
treat this request as a new project, even if you are able to reinstate
the m4 package name (and if you must pick a different package name, I
need to know, as that will introduce its own wrinkles into how m4's
bootstrap script downloads available .po files).

[2] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=m4.git;a=commit;h=610290de87f

Given comments at [3], I may still need to make some tweaks to what
strings are offered for translations between now and 1.4.19, but we've
got to start somewhere, and I want to get 1.4.19 out the door this month.

  • 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.
