  • Internxt: Conserv Your Files and Photos in Total Privacy and Security [Ed: Internxt seems to be paying sites to promote its junk, some proprietary software which falsely promises security. Best thing is, save locally, not buzzwords like "Web 3".]

    Linux users have plenty of options when it is about cloud services. Most people use only a few popular storages like Dropbox, pCloud, etc. But there are some newly invented cloud services available that don’t compromise with privacy and security issues anyway. Internxt is one of them, and it has already placed a mark on the list of the best-encrypted cloud services for its best-in-class security and encryption system.

    After learning about the top-notch features of this open source cloud service, I planned to give it a try on my Ubuntu system. And finally, I am here to share my experience of using this app. So, let me introduce you to Internxt first.

  • 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.
