Redis provides two high-availability mechanisms: Sentinel for automatic failover on a primary-replica setup, and Cluster for horizontal partitioning across multiple nodes. Both are production-grade solutions supported on RHEL 8 through the EPEL 8 repository or directly from the Redis package. Understanding when to use each helps you design a topology that meets your durability and […]
Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine capable of handling large volumes of structured and unstructured data in near real time. It is the core component of the Elastic Stack, widely used for log aggregation, full-text search, and observability pipelines. On RHEL 8, installing Elasticsearch requires adding the official Elastic repository and configuring […]
SQLite is a serverless, file-based relational database engine that requires no installation of a separate server process and no ongoing administration. It stores an entire database — tables, indexes, and data — in a single cross-platform file, making it ideal for development environments, embedded applications, configuration stores, and lightweight production workloads that do not need […]
PostgreSQL provides two complementary tools for database backups: pg_dump and pg_basebackup. pg_dump takes logical backups of individual databases or selected objects and can restore to a different PostgreSQL version or host. pg_basebackup takes a physical, byte-for-byte copy of the entire data directory, which is the foundation of streaming replication and point-in-time recovery. This tutorial covers […]
PostgreSQL streaming replication continuously ships Write-Ahead Log (WAL) records from a primary server to one or more standby replicas in near real time. The standby can serve as a warm failover target or, in hot-standby mode, accept read-only queries to offload reporting traffic from the primary. This tutorial configures a two-node streaming replication setup on […]
A default PostgreSQL installation on RHEL 8 only accepts connections from the local machine over a Unix socket. To allow client applications on other hosts to connect, you must configure the server to listen on a network interface, update the host-based authentication file, open the firewall port, and enable SSL so that credentials and data […]
MySQL ships with several default settings and accounts that must be hardened before the server handles production data. On RHEL 8, the combination of mysql_secure_installation, strict privilege grants, TLS enforcement, and the audit log plugin provides a strong baseline. This tutorial walks through each layer of MySQL security so that nothing is left at its […]
pgAdmin 4 is the official open-source administration and development platform for PostgreSQL, providing a rich web interface for managing databases, running queries, monitoring activity, and visualizing schemas. On RHEL 8, the recommended installation path is the official PostgreSQL Global Development Group (PGDG) repository, which ships pgAdmin 4 as a dedicated web application package with a […]
Regular database backups are one of the most important operational habits for any MySQL deployment, and RHEL 8 provides all the tools you need to implement a solid backup strategy. mysqldump produces portable SQL dumps that are easy to restore and inspect, while mysqlpump adds parallelism for faster exports on larger datasets. This tutorial covers […]
MySQL Group Replication extends traditional replication with built-in automatic failover and a distributed consensus protocol, making it suitable for high-availability deployments without requiring additional orchestration tools. In single-primary mode, one node accepts writes at a time while all nodes serve reads, and the group automatically elects a new primary if the current one fails. This […]
