How to Set Up a Certificate Authority with OpenSSL on RHEL 9

A private Certificate Authority (CA) lets you issue and manage TLS certificates for internal services without paying a public CA for every certificate. On RHEL 9, OpenSSL provides all the tools needed to build a two-tier CA hierarchy: a root CA (kept offline and highly protected) and an intermediate CA (used for day-to-day signing). This […]

How to Configure Network QoS with tc on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Configure Network QoS with tc on RHEL 9

Network Quality of Service (QoS) lets you control how bandwidth is distributed across different types of traffic, ensuring that latency-sensitive applications like VoIP or interactive SSH sessions remain responsive even when bulk transfers saturate the link. The Linux tc (traffic control) subsystem implements this through a combination of queuing disciplines, classes, and packet filters. This […]

How to Deploy a Flask Application with Gunicorn and Nginx on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Deploy a Flask Application with Gunicorn and Nginx on RHEL 9

Flask is a lightweight Python web microframework that provides only the essentials: URL routing, request/response handling, and Jinja2 templating. Unlike Django, Flask does not include an ORM, authentication, or admin interface by default — these are added through extensions like SQLAlchemy, Flask-Login, and Flask-Admin. This minimalism makes Flask the ideal choice for REST APIs, microservices, […]

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” […]

How to Use Terraform to Provision Infrastructure on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Use Terraform to Provision Infrastructure on RHEL 9

Terraform’s power lies in its ability to provision real cloud infrastructure — virtual machines, networks, databases, DNS records, load balancers, and Kubernetes clusters — using declarative configuration. A Terraform configuration describes the desired end state, and Terraform calculates and executes the actions needed to reach that state. Key concepts in practice are: resources (infrastructure objects […]

How to Set Up Checksum Monitoring with AIDE on RHEL 9 — step-by-step RHEL 9 tutorial on Progressive Robot

How to Set Up Checksum Monitoring with AIDE on RHEL 9

AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment) builds a cryptographic database of file attributes and checksums, then alerts you whenever a monitored file changes unexpectedly — a technique known as file integrity monitoring (FIM). On RHEL 9, AIDE is available in the standard repositories and integrates cleanly with systemd timers for scheduled checks and with auditd for […]
