How to Scan for Vulnerabilities with OpenVAS on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Scan for Vulnerabilities with OpenVAS on RHEL 9

OpenVAS, now distributed as Greenbone Community Edition (GCE), is one of the most comprehensive open-source vulnerability scanners available, capable of identifying thousands of known CVEs across network services, web applications, and operating system configurations. Installing it natively on RHEL 9 requires complex dependency management, so the recommended approach is to deploy it via Docker Compose, […]

How to Harden the Linux Kernel with sysctl on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Harden the Linux Kernel with sysctl on RHEL 9

The Linux kernel exposes hundreds of tunable parameters through the sysctl interface that control network behavior, memory protection, and file system security. Many of these defaults prioritize compatibility over security. By writing a hardening configuration to /etc/sysctl.d/, you can reduce the kernel attack surface, enable mitigations against common network attacks, and enforce memory safety features […]

How to Use Skaffold for Kubernetes Development on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Use Skaffold for Kubernetes Development on RHEL 9

Skaffold is a command-line tool from Google that automates the inner development loop for Kubernetes applications: it watches your source files for changes, rebuilds container images, re-runs tests, and redeploys to your cluster — all in a single continuous process with a single command. Instead of manually running docker build, docker push, and kubectl apply […]

How to Set Up a CI/CD Pipeline with Tekton on Kubernetes on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Set Up a CI/CD Pipeline with Tekton on Kubernetes on RHEL 9

Tekton is a Kubernetes-native open-source framework for building continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. Unlike Jenkins or GitLab CI, Tekton runs entirely as Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), meaning every pipeline, task, and run is a Kubernetes object you manage with kubectl — no separate CI server to maintain. This cloud-native approach gives you full […]

How to Configure Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Configure Infrastructure as Code with Pulumi on RHEL 9

Pulumi is a modern Infrastructure as Code platform that lets you define, deploy, and manage cloud resources using general-purpose programming languages — Python, TypeScript, Go, C#, and Java — instead of a domain-specific language like Terraform’s HCL. This means you get real loops, conditionals, functions, classes, and access to the full ecosystem of your chosen […]

How to Set Up a Local Container Registry with Harbor on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Set Up a Local Container Registry with Harbor on RHEL 9

Harbor is an enterprise-grade open-source container registry that extends the basic Docker Registry with role-based access control, vulnerability scanning, image signing, and replication across multiple registries. While Docker’s official registry:2 image is suitable for simple use cases, Harbor is purpose-built for teams that need audit logs, project-level isolation, and automated security scanning before images reach […]

How to Use Makefile for Build Automation on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Use Makefile for Build Automation on RHEL 9

GNU Make is one of the oldest and most widely used build automation tools in the Unix ecosystem, yet it remains just as relevant today as it was when first released in 1976. Unlike language-specific build tools such as Maven, Cargo, or npm scripts, Make is completely language-agnostic — it works equally well for C […]

How to Install and Configure Drone CI on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Install and Configure Drone CI on RHEL 9

Drone CI is an open-source, container-native continuous integration and delivery platform that runs every pipeline step inside an isolated Docker container. It integrates natively with GitHub, Gitea, GitLab, and Bitbucket, making it a lightweight alternative to Jenkins for teams already working with containers. Drone’s configuration lives in a .drone.yml file committed alongside your code, keeping […]

How to Install and Use Podman with Buildah on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Install and Use Podman with Buildah on RHEL 9

Buildah is a daemonless, rootless command-line tool for building OCI-compliant container images — without requiring a running Docker daemon or root privileges. On RHEL 9, Buildah ships as a first-class tool alongside Podman, and the two integrate tightly: images built with Buildah appear immediately in Podman’s local image store. Buildah’s fine-grained API lets you build […]

How to Set Up Vagrant and VirtualBox on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Set Up Vagrant and VirtualBox on RHEL 9

Vagrant is a command-line tool for creating and managing reproducible local development environments backed by virtual machines. Combined with VirtualBox as a hypervisor, it lets developers spin up a fresh Linux VM with a single command, configure it through a version-controlled Vagrantfile, and destroy it just as easily. This eliminates the “works on my machine” […]
