NetworkManager is the default network management service on RHEL 9, and it provides a powerful command-line tool called nmcli for configuring network interfaces. Assigning a static IP address is a common requirement for servers that need a predictable, stable address on the network. This tutorial walks through every method available on RHEL 9 to configure […]
Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes — it allows defining, installing, and upgrading complex Kubernetes applications using charts, which are pre-configured packages of Kubernetes resource manifests. Instead of manually writing and applying dozens of YAML files for a complex application (deployments, services, config maps, secrets, ingress rules, RBAC), a single helm install command deploys […]

Podman is Red Hat’s recommended Docker-compatible container engine that runs containers without requiring a root-owned daemon. Unlike Docker, which requires the Docker daemon (dockerd) running as root, Podman runs containers directly as the user executing the command — a model called rootless containers. This eliminates an entire class of privilege escalation vulnerabilities: even if a […]

Introduction FreeBSD 14 is a UNIX-derived operating system renowned for its network stack performance, ZFS integration, and Jail isolation primitives. Setting up set up carp high availability on freebsd 14 on FreeBSD 14 follows the rc.conf/service(8) paradigm rather than systemd, which means enabling a service and configuring its startup options are done differently from any […]
Introduction How to Install Keepalived for High Availability on FreeBSD 14 is a core administration task for any FreeBSD 14 server operator. FreeBSD 14 ships with the 15.0-RELEASE kernel, ZFS as the default root filesystem, Capsicum capability sandboxing improvements, and an updated ports tree. Unlike Linux distributions, FreeBSD uses rc(8) for service management, pf for […]
Introduction This guide explains how to Write Ansible Playbooks for FreeBSD 14 on FreeBSD 14. FreeBSD uses the pkg(8) binary package manager, rc.conf(5) for service startup configuration, and pf(4) as its primary packet filter. There is no SELinux or AppArmor — instead, FreeBSD provides the MAC (Mandatory Access Control) framework and Capsicum for fine-grained privilege […]

Introduction Deploying install clamav on freebsd 14 on a FreeBSD 14 machine differs from Linux in several important ways: packages come from the FreeBSD Ports Collection or the binary pkg repository, services are registered in /etc/rc.conf via sysrc(8), and firewall rules are written in pf.conf(5) syntax. This tutorial stays entirely within the standard base + […]
