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
Docker is the industry standard for containerization, and it allows developers and system administrators to package applications and all the dependencies needed to run them into a lightweight and portable container. From web application deployments to constructing CI/CD pipelines, managing cloud-native workloads, and everything in between, Docker ensures a consistent development, test, and production environment.
Security on websites has become a must-have. The Internet’s modern web browser, search engines, and users want websites to use HTTPS (secure) encryption when it comes to transmitting data from the Internet user to the web server. Browsers could show security alerts if a site is not using SSL/TLS encryption. AlmaLinux 10 has one of
One of the best options for efficiently managing multiple sites on a single Linux server and saving infrastructure costs is to host multiple websites on a single server. Name-based virtual hosts enable multiple web hosts on a single IP address, and they are particularly useful in shared hosting, VPS, development servers, and production web deployments.
Installing LEMP (LAMP) on AlmaLinux 10 is one of the best ways to install a high-performance web application on Linux. LEMP stack is the combination of Linux, NGINX, MySQL, and PHP in order to provide a fast, secure, and scalable web hosting environment for modern websites and applications. The AlmaLinux 10 distribution is gaining popularity
One of the most crucial layers of Linux server security is a properly configured firewall. Firewalld is the default firewall management service used by AlmaLinux 10, providing a modern, flexible approach to managing network traffic, opening ports, securing SSH access, and protecting production servers. In this tutorial, you’ll create a simple firewall setup on AlmaLinux
phpMyAdmin is one of the most popular web-based database administration interfaces in the world, and one of the most common attack points on Linux servers. By scanning any server’s access logs, you will see bots constantly probing the server for /phpmyadmin, /pma, /myadmin, and many other default phpMyAdmin paths that are known for being scanned
