SSH (Secure Shell) is how you’ll manage your AlmaLinux 10 server for almost everything, installing packages, editing configs, checking logs, and deploying applications. Whether you just spun up a fresh cloud VPS or you’re setting up a home lab server, this guide covers the full process: verifying SSH is running, connecting from your local machine,
AlmaLinux 10 ships lean by design, stable, security-hardened, and limited to a conservative set of packages. That’s great for production reliability, but it means common tools like htop, fail2ban, ffmpeg, or certbot simply aren’t available through the default repositories. That’s what EPEL is for. This guide covers exactly how to install and enable EPEL on
Few things stop an AlmaLinux 10 server faster than a broken package manager. Whether dnf install hangs indefinitely, yum update throws a wall of dependency errors, or you get a flat Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo message, you can’t patch, install, or remove anything until it’s fixed. The good news on AlmaLinux 10
If something breaks on your AlmaLinux 10 server, the logs almost always know why. AlmaLinux 10, built on the RHEL 10 codebase and running systemd 257, uses a dual logging architecture: the structured, binary systemd-journald system accessed through journalctl, and the traditional plain-text logs written by rsyslog into /var/log/. Knowing how to use both is
Apache Maven is the backbone of most Java build pipelines, and if you’ve just moved to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (“Resolute Raccoon”), you’ll want to get it running correctly from day one. This guide walks you through every method of installing Maven on Ubuntu 26.04, from the quick APT method to the manual binary install that
dnf (Dandified YUM) is the default package manager for AlmaLinux 10 and every modern RHEL-based distribution. It is how you install new software, apply security updates, remove unwanted packages, manage repositories, roll back broken transactions, and automate patching across your entire server fleet. This complete guide covers every essential dnf command with verified syntax, real-world
systemctl is the single most important command-line tool for any AlmaLinux 10 system administrator. It is the primary interface to systemd, the init system and service manager that controls every background process on your server from the moment it boots. Whether you are running a web server with Apache or Nginx, a database with MariaDB
Upon installing a new Ubuntu 26.04 LTS “Resolute Raccoon” server, you might have noticed that this release ships with GNOME 50 preinstalled on Wayland (by default), and the old notions of VNC and Ubuntu don’t quite apply anymore. That is why it is important for so many admins to look for the steps to set
Running out of disk space on your Ubuntu server or desktop is one of the most frustrating operational surprises, and tracking down the culprit using the traditional du command alone can take far too long. ncdu (NCurses Disk Usage) solves that problem instantly by giving you an interactive, keyboard-navigable terminal interface that shows exactly which
Testing internet speed is essential for diagnosing slow deployments, validating bandwidth-tier upgrades, benchmarking a new VPS, or troubleshooting high-latency connections before opening a support ticket with your ISP. Because Ubuntu 26.04 LTS servers typically run headless with no browser available, web-based tools like Speedtest.net or Google’s Internet Speed Test simply aren’t an option. Speedtest-CLI solves
