Everyone has heard of Docker by now, it’s one of the most popular ways to create and run containerized apps and services. Docker isn’t difficult to use and understand but there are tools that exist that make managing, creating, and modifying docker containers even easier and user-friendly. This is exactly what Portainer does, it provides you with a simple-to-use and nice-looking web interface to manage your Docker instances and clusters. ...
Fedora 37 was released in November of 2022, and since then it has gained a lot of attention. Fedora supports Flatpaks by default and is running the latest Gnome desktop environment which is version 43 at this time. While it does run Gnome by default, you can find Fedora Spins with alternative desktop environments such as KDE Plasma and XFCE. Fedora is an excellent option for new users and seasoned users as well. Many developers with plenty of experience with Linux choose Fedora for the availability of apps, ease of use, and stability. ...
Ad and tracking blocker plugins are popular in most web browsers, but what if you could apply ad blocking to your entire network without a need for these plugins? This is where Pi-hole comes in, providing you with whole network ad blocking. In this guide, I will walk you through installing Pi-hole on Proxmox using a Ubuntu container so you don’t need many resources to do this. What is Pi-hole? To put it simply, Pi-hole is a DNS server that uses a blocklist to block ads, trackers, and more. It is customizable, meaning you can add additional blocks manually or via openly available blocklists. You can further customize your DNS by whitelisting domains that you find should not be blocked by Pi-hole. ...
I recently rebuilt my Proxmox server and decided that I wanted to give Fedora 37 with KDE Plasma 5.27 a spin. It’s not ideal to always use the console built into Proxmox for remote desktop, as the experience is not the best. To improve the experience, I was going to install and set up XRDP to get the best speed and experience possible while connecting from my main Manjaro laptop. Here, I’ve documented how to XRDP on the Fedora virtual machine and set up the connection on my Manjaro machine using Remmina. ...
There are times, especially if you are a developer when you really need to create or test something on macOS. Luckily, there is a very easy way to do this on Linux, using Docker. There are many methods out there, such as running macOS in Virtual Box or even dual booting if you have the right hardware combination and a lot of time to fiddle with it. Running macOS in Docker on Linux is really easy thanks to an open-source project from sickcodes called Docker-OSX. This will actually run on most distributions of Linux, assuming you can install Docker and the other dependencies. I will be covering the steps for Manjaro specifically since this is what I run. This exact process should also work on Arch and EndeavourOS flavors of Linux as well. ...
