  • How to Open a URL in the Web Browser from Linux Terminal

    Flexibility is an underrated attribute overlooked by many users of the Linux operating system. Being a flexible Linux user implies that you can launch most; if not all, of your user and system applications from the command line interface without having to navigate and search for them from the system GUI applications’ menu.

    Also, the flexibility of your Linux OS user experience not only applies to system-based applications like installed apps but also to non-system-based applications like web apps that require a URL for access.

  • Setting up Etherpad on Debian

    The following article assumes you are already familiar with what Etherpad is. If that
    isn’t the case, then the wikipedia article should suffice for a quick introduction.

    Even though the Etherpad project is well documented, it isn’t always easy to make sense from just documentation. This article aims to condense some of the tutorials available on the project wiki in an easy-to-follow manner.

  • Network Bonding in Alma Linux

    It is a common requirement to be able to combine network interfaces into a logical interface to achieve better redundancy and possibly higher throughput. There are two methods to achieve this: NIC Teams and Network Bonding.

    NIC Teams works as a form of load-balancer with failover where you have sort of these two pipes that act as one. So if one of them fails, the other one can still handle the traffic. This way, the end user doesn’t experience any downtime. However, configuring network teams doesn’t really guarantee better network throughput. So, if you configure a team from two 1 GB adapters, youwon’t get a 2 GB throughput.

  • Security Auditing with Lynis

    I originally intended to write about how to secure a server/workstation system. However, I changed my mind after realising that there is already this battle-tested tool called lynis that does the auditing for us and also provides us suggestions.

    Lynis is a security auditing tool for Unix-based operating systems. In this article, I am going to inspect my default installation of Debian 11 with lynisand try to secure. Lynis performs an in-depth scan of the system. This includes basic checks like permissions in the filesystem to even performing specific tests of the software and libraries that are installed on a system.

    This way, it only uses and tests the components concerned with the system on which it is scanning. As an example, for a web server it will only include the web-service related tests after doing the general checkup.

  • How to Update Your Multi-Boot Linux Setup Like a Pro | by Michael L. Hawkins | CodeX | Apr, 2022 | Medium

    If you’re a Linux enthusiast like me, there’s no way you can make do with just one distribution on your laptop or p.c. If you’re like me, you run at least one large-capacity SSD device on your laptop, or even a second one installed in a dvd caddy. You’re able to fit 3 to 8 (or more) operating systems on these internal drives, which scratches the distro-hopping itch while challenging you to gain proficiency with multiple package managers, such as apt (Debian/Ubuntu), dnf (Fedora), zypper (OpenSUSE) or pacman (Arch and its derivatives). If you’re a fan of rolling-release distributions like me, you spend a portion of most days running system updates.

    On a multi-boot system, what is the most efficient and safe way to ensure that all your distributions stay updated, requiring the least amount of time and energy? Is a graphical user interface (GUI) the best way to go, or is the command line a better choice?

  • 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.
