  • Ubuntu 22.04: What’s New? [Video]

    The Ubuntu 22.04 release carries a colossal crop of cumulative changes and improvements added in the previous three releases — but what are the most notable?

    That’s the question I answer in my Ubuntu 22.04: What’s New video.

    Yes, I’m back with a breathy, bi-annual bulldoze through the biggest and best embellishments on offer.

    As Jammy is a long-term support release — fun fact: > 90% of all Ubuntu users use an LTS release — there’s a lot to cover with features carried over from 20.10, 21.04, and 21.10, plus the newly new stuff that debuts in 22.04!

  • Linuxfest NorthWest VIRTUAL this weekend | www.montanalinux.org

    LFNW hasn't been in person since the start of the pandemic. I don't think it was even held in 2020. Anyhoo, they played it safe for 2022... and put in a bit of effort with planning what will hopefully be a very successful virtual event for 2022... this weekend.

  • Advantest Joins Open Invention Network [Ed: Software patents shored up by hostile corporations that create pools instead of abolishing fake patents]
  • Advantest joins Open Invention Network for Linux cooperation [Ed: While many of us fight to abolish software patents Keith Bergelt and other people who never ever use Linux are trying to 'normalise' such patents]

    OIN’s community, according to the Network, agrees non-aggression in patents in core Linux and adjacent open source technologies by royalty-free cross-licensing of Linux patents to one another. Patents owned by the Network are similarly licensed royalty-free to any organisation that agrees not to assert its patents against the Linux System.

    [...]

    “By joining OIN, Advantest is doing its part to mitigate global patent risk for open source,” said OIN CEO said Keith Bergelt. “The benefits inherent in the cooperatively competitive business model that is harnessed through open collaboration are unmatched.”

  • Install Gnome Software as Ubuntu Software with Flatpak Support in Ubuntu 22.04 | UbuntuHandbook

    This simple tutorial shows how to replace the default Snap Store (Ubuntu Software) with Gnome Software with Flatpak support in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

    Many applications today publish Linux packages via Flatpak. However, Ubuntu’s software center (aka Snap Store) does not support this universal package format.

    If you like, Gnome Software can be a good alternative which has both Snap and Flatpak as well as Deb packages support.

  • 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.
