Tux's Dream

Filed under
Humor

a fat, little penguin, dressed up quite spiffy
had too many computers, some of them quite iffy.

their conditions ranged from old thing to new
how to run them all, he wasn't sure what to do.

he had all kinds of advice from penguins everywhere
some from the big city and some from town here.

Most of the penguins,thought they were helping, would say
"make it do wonders" and "make it my way"

this chubby little genius, thought all he could
and finally came up with an idea, it'll work, it should.

a system to make all these pc's work well
it will be super fancy, yet simple as hell.

It will work for them in the city, with all their big hi tech
it'll do for the town folk, straight forward, not a pain in the neck.

It'll be as complex or plain as can be
and to show what a nice penguin he was, he'd even make it free.

so he started to work, then asked some friends
and their friends asked their friends
who asked yet more friends again

as the system improved, he'd test it on those machines
then gave them away, to those who helped and those in need

as the system gets better, and fills so many needs
more penguins arrive to tell of more needs, indeed

and all of these penguins, pitch in as they can,
building a dream, as best as they can.

and all of them were happy as though their dream was his
the truth of it though, the reality is

each has their own way of thinking and dream
this system brings them together as one it would seem

your dream and my dream varied though they may be,
can share the same framework and tools it would seem

This fat little penguin has made something unique
an operating system for every kind of geek.

you want it to do this way and I to do that
it will do things his way and hers off the bat

so many different ways it can get all this done
all wrapped into this system making them all one.

  • 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.
