PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is the recommended interface between Nginx and PHP on RHEL 8, replacing the older mod_php approach with a more flexible and performant process pool model. Rather than embedding PHP inside the web server, PHP-FPM runs as a separate systemd-managed service that Nginx communicates with over a Unix socket, isolating the two […]
Symfony is a mature, enterprise-grade PHP framework and a collection of reusable components that power many of the world’s largest PHP applications, including Drupal and parts of Laravel itself. It emphasises strict standards, comprehensive testing support, and long-term support releases that align well with RHEL 8’s stability-first philosophy. This tutorial covers installing the Symfony CLI […]
Laravel is the most popular PHP framework in the world, offering an elegant syntax, a powerful ORM (Eloquent), built-in authentication scaffolding, and a rich ecosystem of first-party packages. Installing Laravel on RHEL 8 involves a few more steps than on a generic Linux distribution because of SELinux and the systemd-managed PHP-FPM service. This tutorial guides […]
Composer is the de facto dependency manager for PHP, used by virtually every modern PHP framework and library including Laravel, Symfony, and Guzzle. It resolves and installs packages from Packagist, handles autoloading, and tracks version constraints so your project dependencies stay consistent across environments. This tutorial covers installing Composer on RHEL 8 using the official […]
PHP is the most widely used server-side scripting language on the web, powering platforms like WordPress, Drupal, and countless custom applications.

PgBouncer is a lightweight connection pooler for PostgreSQL that sits between your application and the database server, reusing a small pool of backend connections across many client requests. Without a connection pooler, PostgreSQL must fork a new backend process for every client connection, consuming memory and CPU as connection counts grow. On RHEL 8, PgBouncer […]
Apache Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform capable of handling millions of messages per second, making it a popular choice for real-time data pipelines, log aggregation, and event-driven microservices. Kafka is distributed as a self-contained binary archive and does not require a package manager installation, so the setup process involves downloading, configuring, and wrapping […]
RabbitMQ is a robust open-source message broker that implements the AMQP protocol, enabling asynchronous communication between application components. It is widely used for task queuing, event streaming, and decoupling microservices. On RHEL 8, RabbitMQ requires a compatible version of Erlang that is best installed from the official RabbitMQ Cloudsmith repository rather than the default RHEL […]
Prometheus is a popular open-source monitoring system that collects metrics by scraping HTTP endpoints called exporters. The mysqld_exporter binary exposes MySQL server metrics in Prometheus format so you can build dashboards, set alerts, and track database health over time. In this tutorial you will create a dedicated MySQL monitoring user with least-privilege grants, deploy mysqld_exporter […]
Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching system used to speed up dynamic web applications by reducing database load. On RHEL 8, Memcached is available directly from the AppStream repository, making installation straightforward.
