  • How to Set the $PATH Variable in Linux

    The $PATH variable is a crucial component on Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It specifies a list of directories that hold various executables on the system and tells the shell where to look for these executable files.

    On a fresh Linux installation, the directories included in $PATH ensure that most programs you run work faultlessly. However, there may be times when you might want to quickly run custom scripts or programs on your system.

    In such cases, you need to set the $PATH variable appropriately before running those programs.

  • How to Import and Export OVA Files in Virtualbox - Make Tech Easier

    One of the biggest strengths in working with virtual machines is their portability.

Here we show you how to import and export OVA files in VirtualBox, which is one method of accomplishing this.

  • 5 Reasons to Choose the Linux Terminal Over GUI

    As a Linux newbie, the preference for a Graphical User Interface (GUI) comes naturally. Also, shifting from Windows can be a bit difficult without a GUI. The unfamiliar syntax and the need to memorize the commands might scare you at first, but getting comfortable with the terminal will definitely be helpful in the long run.

    More so, you can use the up and down arrows on your keyboard to navigate commands that you have entered before. This greatly simplifies your work and makes it more beginner-friendly. As you become a better developer, the need to use the Command Line Interface (CLI), commonly known as the terminal, will become more apparent.

  • The magic behind snap interfaces

    Snaps are confined, self-contained applications, designed with portability and security in mind. By default, strictly confined snaps run in isolation, with minimal access to system resources. For instance, they cannot access home, network, audio, or display. To make their snaps usable, developers and publishers can declare a set of interfaces, which allow granular, per-resource access to the underlying system in a secure, controlled manner.

    In today’s article, we want to talk a bit more about the mechanics behind the interface. What happens when a developer declares an interface plug in snapcraft.yaml, and when that snap gets installed on a user’s machine?

  • 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.
