Tired of your data living on a lonely single machine? Ready to let your MySQL/MariaDB server spread its wings and accept connections from anywhere on your network? Buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a playful yet technically rich journey: installing MariaDB on Ubuntu Server, creating a new database, creating and tying a user to it, and—even better—opening the gates for remote connections. By the end of this guide, you’ll be deploying your own remote-ready database faster than you can say “SELECT * FROM awesome_table.” Let’s dive in! Why MariaDB on Ubuntu Server? MariaDB is a community-driven fork of MySQL that often boasts better performance and open-source licensing. On top of that, Ubuntu Server (version 24.04 LTS in our...

As the person responsible for our company’s IT infrastructure, one of my essential tasks was optimizing our web servers. After much research, testing, and consideration, Nginx emerged as the optimal solution due to its high performance, reliability, and flexibility. Understanding Nginx Architecture and Working Model One aspect that immediately attracted me to Nginx was its highly efficient architecture. Unlike Apache’s thread-based approach, Nginx uses a Master-Worker architecture. Master and Worker Processes The Master process manages global operations: reading configurations, launching worker processes, and overseeing their health. Each Worker process, operating independently, handles client requests using an event-driven model, efficiently managing multiple connections with minimal resource usage. Event-Driven Asynchronous Model Worker processes employ a non-blocking, event-driven model, ensuring quick request handling...
