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
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
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
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
One of the most vulnerable resources is an unprotected, installed database server. Database attacks continue to be one of the three most recurring causes of enterprise data breaches year after year, and most of the attacks take advantage of misconfigurations that could have been avoided during initial setup in less than 30 minutes, according to
