phpMyAdmin is a popular web-based interface for managing MySQL and MariaDB databases, offering a graphical alternative to the command line. On RHEL 8, you can install it quickly from the EPEL repository, which provides community-maintained packages not included in the default RHEL channels.

Introduction This guide explains how to Configure Infrastructure as Code on FreeBSD 12 on FreeBSD 12. 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 […]
Accurate system time is essential for security certificates, log correlation, scheduled jobs, and Kerberos authentication. RHEL 8 ships with Chrony as its default NTP implementation, replacing the older ntpd daemon. Chrony is faster to synchronize on startup, handles intermittent network connections well, and is better suited to virtual machines. This guide covers installing and configuring […]

Introduction This guide explains how to Configure Docker Logging Drivers on Debian 9 on Debian 9 Stretch. Debian Stretch uses systemd for service management, nftables as the underlying packet filter (with ufw or iptables front-ends still available), and AppArmor for mandatory access control. Every command is designed for a minimal Debian 9 install with the […]
Introduction Deploying set up capistrano deployment on debian 9 on a Debian 9 Stretch machine is straightforward thanks to Debian’s policy-compliant packaging. Unlike rpm-based distributions, Debian stores configuration helpers in /etc/default/, uses update-rc.d for older init scripts, and provides dpkg-reconfigure for interactive package configuration. This tutorial stays on the systemd path throughout. Prerequisites Before you […]
How to Configure Nginx Server Blocks (Virtual Hosts) on RHEL 7 Nginx server blocks — the equivalent of Apache virtual hosts — allow a single Nginx instance to serve multiple websites on the same server by routing requests based on the domain name or IP address. This is one of the most common Nginx configurations […]
Apache virtual hosts allow a single Apache HTTP Server instance to respond to multiple domain names, each with its own document root, logs, and settings. On RHEL 8, virtual host configuration files are placed in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and are automatically included by the main httpd.conf. This tutorial walks you through creating and enabling an Apache name-based […]
