    By default, every command that you execute on your terminal is stored by the shell (command interpreter) in a certain file called a history file or shell command history.

  • How to Make Nested Directories in Linux Command Line

    Creating nested directories when the parent directory does not exist is... impossible. But that also does not mean that you need to create the parent directory first and invoke mkdir again.

    There is a faster way to achieve this; you can use the -p flag with mkdir command.

    mkdir -p parent_dir/child_dir/nested_child_dir
    Using the -p flag will let mkdir know that it is okay to make a parent directory if it does not exist yet, and then create a nested child directory.

  • How to install Composer on CentOS 9 Stream?

    PHP Composer is a dependency manager for PHP. With this dependency manager, you will be able to manage the libraries that your web application requires.

    One of the examples where the usefulness of Composer is best shown is when our project depends on many external libraries. Thanks to Composer, we will be able to add them, to eliminate them and to update them in a fast and simple way.

    The operation of PHP Composer is quite similar to the one we give to the package managers for Linux, like APT or DNF.

  • How to Create Your Own Mail Server Using Modoboa in Ubuntu

    The main reason for considering other mail servers like Modoboa over the likes of Gmail and Yahoo is the unlimited customization associated with your mailbox.

    The Modoboa open-source mail server makes it possible to create a mailbox from a unique username and a registered domain name (username@domain-name.extension). Since Modoboa is written in Python, you will need the latest Python version installed on the Linux system intended to run/host this mail server.

  • How To Install MySQL on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - idroot

  • Secureboot Signing With Your Own Key

    First, we'll need some packages:

    dnf install pesign mokutil keyutils
    (Package names are the same on most major distros, though of course your package manager won't be the same.)

    Next, we create a key for signing. This uses efikeygen, from the pesign project; I prefer efikeygen because it also creates an NSS database that will be useful for pesign later.

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.

  • 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.
