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 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

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 Install Packer for Machine Image Automation on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Install Packer for Machine Image Automation on RHEL 9

HashiCorp Packer is an open-source tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single configuration source. Rather than manually configuring servers after deployment, Packer bakes your configuration — packages, users, services, certificates — directly into the image at build time, embodying the immutable infrastructure pattern. The resulting AMIs, OVA files, or container […]
