I’m so happy to let you guys know about a very special development with LearnLinuxTV, that it’s going to be my only job going forward. It’s been a lot of hard work to get to this point, but it’s here and I’m very excited! Check out the video for more details on my decision.
Backing up your virtual machines and data is extremely important, yet something that quite a few administrators don’t spend enough time on. In this video, I’ll walk you through the backup and snapshot options that are available within Proxmox.
Flatpaks are a universal package type that gives you cross-distribution access to popular Linux apps. In this video, I’ll show you how to configure Ubuntu for Flatpak support, and we’ll install a few apps. In addition, I’ll show you command-line methods as well.
The process of launching a Windows virtual machine on Proxmox is a bit more involved when compared to launching a Linux VM, but in this video, I’ll go over the entire process to make it easy. Follow along with me, and you’ll have your own Windows VM running on Proxmox. This method covers both Windows 10 and Windows Server.
Welcome back to LearnLinuxTV’s full course on Proxmox Virtual Environment! In class #9, we’ll look at how user management is structured, and we’ll walk through the process of creating several accounts. Also, we’ll take an initial look at groups and permissions as well.
When you write software, there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel – shared libraries and other resources exist to enable you to create applications while avoiding redundant work. Unfortunately, sometimes the software supply itself chain is attacked, which would mean that your application contain malware or security threats you didn’t account for. In this episode of Enterprise Linux Security, Joao and I discuss supply chain attacks, as well as some ways to mitigate this threat.
Universal Linux Apps/Packages (Flatpaks, Snaps, AppImages) seem to get a lot of hate in the Linux community, but why?! In this video, I talk about why this type of technology is not only necessary, but a good thing.
Public Key Authentication with OpenSSH is preferred, as it’s a much stronger method of authenticating to your servers when compared to using password authentication. In fact, password authentication in OpenSSH should always be disabled. But before you can password authentication, you’ll need to set up public key authentication, and that’s exactly what we’ll do in today’s video.
Welcome back to LearnLinuxTV’s full course on Proxmox Virtual Environment! In class #8, we look at the process of converting a container into a template, that can then be used as a basis for launching additional containers.
As Linux server administrators, we need to be able to schedule tasks to run at some point in the future. Perhaps as a one-off command, or a job that’s expected to repeat on some sort of schedule. And that’s exactly what Cron helps us to do – by setting up a Crontab, we can schedule tasks to run at some point in the future.
LearnLinuxTV’s full course on Proxmox Virtual Environment continues with the 7 class in the series, and this time it’s all about containers. In this video, you’ll see the process of launching LXC containers through Proxmox VE.
Thank you to TuxCare for sponsoring today’s episode.
Migrating your servers from one Linux distribution to another can be a daunting task, even moreso if it’s a migration you’re doing because of unforeseen events or changes within the ecosystem. In this video, Jay and Joao discuss the challenges when it comes to migrating Linux distributions, and the effect this has on security.
