  • Fedora 25 Linux Beta Might Land on October 11, 2016, Beta Freeze Now in Effect

    Fedora Project's Mohan Boddu announced on September 26, 2016, that the upcoming Fedora 25 Beta milestone, which is scheduled for release next month on the 11th, is now officially in freeze stage.

    Fedora 25 is the next major release of the Red Hat-sponsored computer operating system for power users and anyone else who wants a well-designed Linux-based OS. It has been in development since July 2016, and the Alpha snapshot has hit the streets on August 30, after being delayed by a week due to some nasty regressions and bugs that have been patched quickly.

    The next stop in the Fedora 25 Linux development cycle is the Beta, which, according to the official release schedule, is now in freeze state. The Beta Freeze stage means that developers won't be allowed to add any other features to the upcoming Beta release, but only to fix blockers and other annoyances that might not offer users a quality product.

Why is Fedora Linux number six when it should be number one

The Fedora distribution is USA based, and as such, RedHat (Fedora) have to follow two sets of rules.

FOSS Free to use Open source software.
GPL2 License Only, no commercial software, aside from Adobe, ATI, or other Video card drivers.

The five other Linux distributions ahead of Fedora contain
FOSS Rule -- no commerical software
GPL2 -- a copyleft license.

A Fedora installation requires the individual to learn about other repositories, to install their configuration rpm file and then to work to build up his Fedora system to where it contains the software and codec drivers provided with each of the previous six.
That statistic about being number six originates with Distrowatch which presents (statistics for the prevous 6 months and also for the previous year.

However, the user has a choice. He can skip Fedora altogether, he can download and then manually install the codecs and necessary drivers, he can use Fedora as is, without the ability to watch CNN, BBC, Fox news or even some youtube videos and other sites that use adobe flash format.

Or he can install a Fedora Remix -- A Fedora Remix is a version of Fedora that a programmer or group of programmers has taken and embellished with the codecs and extra software to make Fedora a fully complete tool. With that embellishment, Fedora becomes equivalent or superior to the previous six listed on Distrowatch.

If a programmer off-shore takes Fedora and proceeds to add missing software, codecs and images, we end up with a superb Fedora, There are three Remixes that are outstanding

a) Korora Project
Cool Chapeau Linux
c) RfRemix (Russian based Remix, hosted on Yandex)

  • 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.
