Introduction Deploying set up mariadb replication on debian 10 on a Debian 10 Buster 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 […]
Introduction This guide explains how to Secure the MariaDB Installation on Debian 10 on Debian 10 Buster. Debian Buster 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 10 install with the […]
Introduction Debian 10 Buster is built around the ethos of stability and free software. Setting up install mariadb on debian 10 on Buster leverages the same proven Debian packaging system that powers millions of servers worldwide, while benefiting from the latest upstream releases included in the Buster freeze. Follow each step carefully and the resulting […]
Huge pages reduce the overhead of virtual memory management by using larger memory page sizes — typically 2 MB instead of the default 4 KB. For memory-intensive databases such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, huge pages eliminate millions of Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) misses per second, lower page table walk overhead, and prevent the kernel […]
The perf tool is a powerful Linux profiling framework built directly into the kernel, capable of sampling CPU performance counters, tracing system calls, and generating flame graphs that reveal exactly where an application spends its time. On RHEL 8, perf is packaged in the standard repositories and integrates with the kernel’s built-in performance monitoring units […]
Linux kernel parameters control how your system allocates resources, handles network connections, and manages memory. On RHEL 8, the sysctl utility provides a clean interface for reading and writing these parameters at runtime, while drop-in configuration files under /etc/sysctl.d/ make changes persistent across reboots. Properly tuned kernel parameters can significantly improve throughput, reduce latency, and […]
Pacemaker and Corosync together form the de facto high-availability (HA) cluster stack for Linux. Corosync provides the cluster messaging and quorum layer, while Pacemaker manages resources — ensuring that services like virtual IP addresses and web servers start, stop, and migrate between nodes according to defined constraints. On RHEL 8, both packages are available through […]
A Linux network bridge acts like a virtual switch, forwarding frames between connected interfaces at Layer 2. Bridges are essential when running virtual machines with QEMU/KVM or containers (Podman/Docker) that need full network access on the same subnet as the host. On RHEL 8, NetworkManager is the authoritative networking service, and nmcli is the recommended […]
Bacula is a mature, enterprise-class open-source backup solution that supports tape libraries, disk-based storage, and remote clients across heterogeneous environments. Its client-server architecture separates the Director (job scheduler and catalog manager), Storage Daemon (tape or file I/O), and File Daemon (agent running on each backed-up host), allowing you to scale from a single server to […]
Postfix is a high-performance, security-focused Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) that ships with RHEL 8 and is the default replacement for Sendmail. It handles the delivery of outbound email and, when configured correctly, accepts inbound mail for local users. Understanding Postfix is foundational for any RHEL administrator who needs to send system alerts, application notifications, or […]
