Secure NGiNX with Let’s Encrypt SSL on CentOS 7
Just another tutorial from Tufora where we will be showing you how to secure NGiNX with Let’s Encrypt SSL on CentOS 7. As you are well aware NGiNX is a very powerful software that can be used for various applications and workloads being as HTTP server, reverse proxy, load balancer and nowadays even as router for containers, pretty good portfolio we would say. On this tutorial we will be focusing on securing a NGiNX deployment with a SSL certificate issued by Let’s Encrypt (letsencrypt) using certbot utility on a CentOS 7 server.

Enabling SSL on AWS Elastic Beanstalk with Classic Elastic Load Balancer is not that easy, it might seem impossible when for example we have to use a standard PHP Environment for our application deployment. Unfortunately Amazon AWS does not provide any option or additional tools to achieve this when using Classic Elastic Load Balancer and we will end up using being HTTP or HTTPS. There is no way to set up a redirect from HTTP to HTTPS being on Classic EB or ELB. No matter how unrealistic this it may sound taking into account that nothing publicly exposed should respond […]

NGiNX SSL setup and 301 redirects, this is how is called our next tutorial where we will explain in just a few easy steps how to setup a SSL certificate on NGiNX and also how to force client browser to use HTTPS by managing all necessary 301 redirects served from HTTP protocol on port 80 to HTTPS protocol on port 443. The journey from a non-secured domain to a secured one is quite easy to implement with NGiNX and also very easy to maintain and renew in the future. This solution was tested using a CentOS 7 server but it […]

Setting up a private Docker registry locally for our organisation or maybe for personal use can be seen as a must if we don’t want to expose publicly our custom Docker images. It is true that we can easily get a private repository if we would go for a paid subscription to one of the providers available out there on the market that are offering such services, but why doing so when we can simply do it by ourselves, internally, completely isolated and being under our control. Having a private Docker repository / registry will give us the ability to […]

Kubernetes is considered one of the most mature and stable platform for Docker orchestration – at the time of writing this tutorial -, being used in production environments by many big names from the tech industry. Mastering Kubernetes is not an easy task, it really takes time and require a lot of practice, it is well known of having a not so easy learning curve. Here, in […]
Category: Kubernetes | Published: 19/12/2019 | Updated: 22/12/2019Python is one of the most used programming language and in this tutorial we will show you how to install Python from source on a CentOS 7 operating system. We can safely say that Python, conceived in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum, comes these days preinstalled on most Linux distributions. If it is not there by default then we can always install it, for example on CentOS we can get Python using yum utility but as we know that will not be the latest Python version available. We may have a new project that requires to be built […]
