In this part of the tutorial we're going to take a look at the important parts of setting up DNS in order to run a mail server. https://unixsheikh.com/tutorials/arch-linux-mail-server-tutorial-part-3-get-dns-right-it-is-important.html
If you have experience running any of the popular Linux distributions like Debian GNU/Linux, Arch Linux, Fedora, OpenSUSE, etc., and are trying out OpenBSD, one of the easiest things to get confused about is the package management, it's a bit different on OpenBSD. https://unixsheikh.com/tutorials/package-management-in-openbsd.html
In this tutorial we're going to take a look at setting up full disk encryption on the Void Linux base system using GRUB for a BIOS/MBR based setup. While the choice to install in UEFI mode is encouraging, vendor UEFI implementations still carry more bugs than their BIOS/MBR counterparts. Contrary to "modern" advice I still haven't found any compelling reason to use UEFI yet. https://unixsheikh.com/tutorials/real-full-disk-encryption-using-grub-on-void-linux-for-bios.html
I have been using OpenBSD, a FREE, multi-platform 4.4BSD-based Unix-like operating system, both professionally and privately since about 2004, and today I'm going to share some of my experiences. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/openbsd-is-fantastic.html
Void Linux is a great rolling release and independent Linux distribution that uses the X Binary Package System (XBPS) package manager, which was designed and implemented from scratch, and the runit init system. Excluding binary kernel blobs, a base install is composed entirely of free software, but users can access an official non-free repository to install proprietary software. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/void-linux-a-great-and-unique-linux-distribution.html
In this article we're going to take a close look at the real motivation behind the development of systemd, and we're going to take a look at some of the future perspectives for GNU/Linux as an operating system. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/the-real-motivation-behind-systemd.html
I decided it was time to try and revive my old Cubox that has been lying around unused for a very long time. Back then it was running a custom Armbian (Debian for ARM) release from SolidRun, but SolidRun have long since abandoned the old Cubox and deleted all content from their servers. In this tutorial I'll share how I got the Cubox up and running again with the latest Linux kernel. It is currently working as a small backup server running two USB harddrives in a Btrfs mirror. https://unixsheikh
In this article I share the results of a home-lab experiment in which I threw some different problems at ZFS, Btrfs and mdadm+dm-integrity in a RAID-5 setup. https://unixsheikh.com/articles/battle-testing-zfs-btrfs-and-mdadm-dm.html
In this small tutorial we're going to install Arch Linux with ZFS on a USB stick. This can be useful if you're running a homelab NAS and you want to boot of the USB stick and only use your drives for ZFS. It can also be used as a diagnostic or administration tool for dealing with ZFS. https://unixsheikh.com/tutorials/installing-arch-linux-with-zfs-on-a-usb-stick.html
