Go is a statically typed, compiled language developed by Google that excels at building fast, portable command-line tools and system utilities. On RHEL 8, the version available through the default repositories may lag behind the upstream release, so installing directly from the official tarball ensures you get the latest stable toolchain. This tutorial walks you […]
How to Configure Network Interface Settings with nmcli on RHEL 7 Network configuration on RHEL 7 is managed by the NetworkManager service, and the primary command-line interface for NetworkManager is nmcli. Unlike directly editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ files — which still works but is error-prone — nmcli provides a structured, validated way to create, modify, and activate […]
Terraform by HashiCorp is the industry-standard tool for provisioning and managing infrastructure as code (IaC) across cloud providers, on-premises platforms, and SaaS APIs. On RHEL 8 you can install Terraform directly from the official HashiCorp RPM repository, keeping it up to date through the standard dnf package manager. This tutorial walks through adding the HashiCorp […]
ClickHouse is an open-source columnar database management system designed for real-time analytical queries over large datasets. Unlike row-oriented databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, ClickHouse stores data by column, allowing it to scan only the columns needed for a query and apply aggressive compression, resulting in query performance orders of magnitude faster for analytical workloads. […]
How to Set Up a Git Server with Gitea on RHEL 7 Gitea is a lightweight, self-hosted Git service written in Go. It provides a GitHub-style web interface for repository management, issue tracking, pull requests, webhooks, and user management — all from a single binary that consumes a fraction of the resources required by GitLab […]
.NET is Microsoft’s open-source, cross-platform framework for building web APIs, console applications, microservices, and more. RHEL 8 is a fully supported platform for .NET 8, and Microsoft provides a dedicated package repository that integrates cleanly with dnf. This tutorial shows you how to add the Microsoft repository, install the .NET 8 SDK and ASP.NET Core […]
A LEMP stack — Linux, Nginx, MySQL (or MariaDB), and PHP — is one of the most common foundations for hosting WordPress, Laravel, and other PHP applications. On RHEL 8, each component is available from the default AppStream repository using module streams, giving you fine-grained control over which PHP version you install without relying on […]
Although firewalld ships as the default firewall manager on RHEL 8, some administrators prefer the well-known iptables command syntax for its long history, broad documentation, and deterministic rule ordering. RHEL 8 supports running iptables as a standalone service through the iptables-services package, which must be installed after disabling firewalld to avoid conflicts. This tutorial covers […]
Uptime Kuma is a self-hosted monitoring tool that provides a clean web interface for tracking the availability of HTTP endpoints, TCP ports, DNS records, and ping targets. On RHEL 8, you can deploy it quickly using Docker or run it directly with Node.js managed by PM2. This tutorial walks through both installation methods, configuring monitors, […]
Network File System (NFS) is a distributed filesystem protocol that allows RHEL 8 servers to export directories over the network so that client machines can mount and use them as if they were local storage. NFS is a cornerstone of Linux infrastructure, used in everything from home lab setups to large-scale HPC clusters and virtualization […]
