Announcing Linux Graphics Users.com

Filed under
Web

Linux Graphics Users.com is a forum created by artists, for artists in the Linux community. It is true, that most of the Linux graphics software listed on our site has their own forums (some more than one).... But, LGU is much more than just about the software, or the distro.... It's about the people. People like you and me who just wanna talk about art & design, and share advice, tips & tricks, tutorials to help others, etc. without having to talk about which distro they use... or this one is better than that one. There are more than enough of those places on the web for that... this is about art, and people who are interested in art, and anything related to it from basic wallpapers.... to designing / creating entire window decorator themes, icons, bootsplashes, photography, printing, etc.

We will also be including discussions on Linux in the world of art & entertainment, as well as in-depth discussions about Linux Graphics Software / Applications

Linux Graphics Users.com, is a young community. We opened our doors on December 8, 2007 hosted by http://www.smffree.com/free-forum.php and were off to a great start. But, over time we realized we would need more control over the forum, on the backend to build our community around our members to give them the most pleasant experience we could.

This brought us to the decision to sign on with http://www.lunarpages.com as our new host, and then went to http://www.simplemachines.org for their wonderful forum software. Our search for a new host took a bit longer than intended but, we wanted to be sure we were getting the best we could.

We are still under construction in a few areas, but we are getting closer to our goal each day. And we strongly encourage our members to make suggestions and express their ideas & thoughts on every level... and we strive to please as many as we can, without compromising our original idea. We are still considering whether to incorporate a http://coppermine-gallery.net gallery or not, or something similar, but the topic will be discussed more within the community when the time is right.

If you are have any interest in art / design on the Linux platform.... then Linux Graphics Users.com is the place for you.

We look forward to seeing you there http://linuxgraphicsusers.com

L.G.U. Staff
So come on by, register and introduce yourself, and have fun.

  • 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.
