Enforce SSL on AWS Elastic Beanstalk
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 […]

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.

Kubernetes Cluster setup on CentOS isn’t that difficult anymore as it used to be in the past where we had to perform some major OS changes in order to build a proper environment. In this short tutorial we will guide you step by step how to actually set up a simple Kubernetes Cluster based on CentOS 7.5 and Kubernetes 1.12.1. Exactly like any other cluster a Kubernetes Cluster must always have an odd number of nodes like 3, 5, 7 and so on but in this particular tutorial we will resume to use only 3 nodes, one master node and […]

In this tutorial we’ll explain how to install and configure a three node Elasticsearch 2.4 cluster on CentOS 7. Also, we’ll learn how to install OpenResty that will provide a layer of security for our Elasticsearch cluster, Elasticsearch-HQ that will give us some nice metrics, Kopf plugin and of course Kibana. Why ES 2.4? Well it’s complicated but lets say we’ve choose 2.4 just because this particular version isn’t supported anymore by Elastic and some of you may be “forced” to use this version for a while until you redesign your software to comply with a newer version in terms […]
