Setting Up a Telnet Server in Ubuntu

Filed under
HowTos

A terminal emulation program for TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. The Telnet program runs on your computer and connects your PC to a server on the network. You can then enter commands through the Telnet program and they will be executed as if you were entering them directly on the server console. This enables you to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network. To start a Telnet session, you must log in to a server by entering a valid username and password. Telnet is a common way to remotely control Web servers.

re: Telnet - Hahahahahahahaha

Looking forward to his next article "How to run with Scissors" and "Trimming your Eyelashes with a Small Gas Powered Chainsaw".

Lets say it together: "When it comes to Telnet - JUST SAY NO!".

You talk the talk, but do you waddle the waddle?

re: Telnet - Hahahah

I found the irony of Telnet on Ubuntu (home of the "our users are too stupid to figure out root" distro) to much to pass by un-commented.

And odd article

I'm sure most techie people know that using Telnet isn't secure...And so does the author of the article! (Read the last paragraph, they recommend using SSH).

So the question is: Why bother with an article about Telnet in the first place? (especially those who are just starting out with Ubuntu!)

Why not just make aware that Telnet exists, and it shouldn't be used?

Most Ubuntu folks are from Windows. They have little clue about Telnet and the potential issues it will bring. (Hell, you wouldn't even enable Telnet service on Windows!)

I think its just unwise and irresponsible to give people ideas on doing stuff that is equivalent to giving them a gas can to put out a fire.

  • 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.
