How to Deploy Next.js on Ubuntu 26.04 with PM2, Nginx, and PostgreSQL

November 2, 2026 by Jeff Wilson

In this blog post, we will show you how to deploy a Next.js application with PM2, Nginx, and PostgreSQL on Ubuntu 26.04 OS. A Next.js application can be deployed using PM2, Nginx, and PostgreSQL to create a reliable and efficient web environment. Next.js handles the frontend and backend logic, providing a fast and responsive user experience. PM2 manages the application process, keeps it running in the background, and automatically restarts it if something goes wrong. Nginx acts as a reverse proxy, handling incoming HTTP/HTTPS requests and forwarding them to the Next.js application. PostgreSQL serves as the database, storing application data securely and efficiently. Together, these technologies provide a solid foundation for building, deploying, and maintaining modern web applications.

This setup will take about 20 minutes to make fully functional. Let’s start!

How to Configure Log Rotation, Journald, and Centralized Logging on Debian and Ubuntu Servers

October 28, 2026 by Jeff Wilson

Logs are files that record activity during an application’s execution. They are also sometimes used to analyze an application’s status. Log files are therefore important files within a system that continuously record all events (activities) occurring within the system. These files are crucial to a system, making it easier for us, especially administrators, to examine and trace various problems that arise. Log files help admins identify bugs, attack sources, and system damage, even if they don’t know how to fix them. In this article, we will show you how to configure log rotation, journald, and centralized logging on Debian and Ubuntu servers.

Log files, typically located in the /var/log directory, can grow in size, potentially filling your hard drive and causing system or service failures. Fortunately, this usually won’t happen because Linux systems generally come with a log rotation mechanism through the logrotate software package.

Flask is one of the most popular microframeworks for creating websites in Python. Gunicorn (Green Unicorn) is a WSGI (Web Server Gateway Interface) HTTP server for the Python programming language. Gunicorn implements a standard WSGI server specification, allowing it to run Python web applications that also implement it, such as Django, Flask, or other frameworks. In this article, we will show you how to set up a Flask Python application with Gunicorn and Nginx on Ubuntu 26.04.

How to Set Up Dokploy Self-Hosted PaaS on Debian 13

October 19, 2026 by Jeff Wilson

If you’re looking for a Self-Hosted PaaS on Debian 13, Dokploy may be perfect for your case. Dokploy is an open-source deployment platform that simplifies the management and distribution of self-hosted applications. Simply put, Dokploy helps developers manage application build, configuration, and deployment directly from a single, centralized dashboard. Dokploy is often referred to as a self-hosted PaaS (Platform as a Service) solution. This means that instead of relying on third-party services managed by vendors, users have full control over their own server infrastructure.

Unlike traditional PaaS like Heroku or Vercel, Dokploy doesn’t lock users into a specific ecosystem (no vendor lock-in). Developers are free to determine server specifications, network configurations, and scaling strategies according to project needs. In this article, we will show you how to set up Dokploy on Debian 13.

How to Install Zabbix Server and Agent on Ubuntu 26.04 (2026 Guide)

October 14, 2026 by Jeff Wilson

Zabbix is an open-source monitoring software tool. This software offers real-time monitoring of thousands of metrics collected from servers, virtual machines, network devices, and web applications. Zabbix metrics can help you assess the health of your IT infrastructure and detect problems with software and hardware components before customers complain. This information is stored in a database, allowing you to analyze data over time and improve the quality of your services. Zabbix stores data in a relational database supported by MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle. You can also store historical data in NoSQL databases like Elasticsearch and TimescaleDB. In this article, we will show you how to install Zabbix server and agent on Ubuntu 26.04

How to Integrate Prometheus with Alertmanager for Advanced Alerting (Beyond Basic Grafana Setup)

October 12, 2026 by Jeff Wilson

In this tutorial, we will explain how to integrate Prometheus with Alertmanager for advanced alerting on Ubuntu 26.04. Prometheus is an open-source monitoring system that collects metrics from servers, applications, and services, while Alertmanager is responsible for processing, grouping, and sending notifications whenever an alert is triggered. Together, they provide a complete monitoring solution that helps administrators detect problems early and respond before they affect production environments. Alertmanager supports multiple notification channels, including email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, and webhooks, making it suitable for both small deployments and enterprise infrastructures.

Learning to integrate Prometheus with Alertmanager on Ubuntu 26.04 is a straightforward process that can be completed in about 20 minutes. Let’s get started!

How To Set Up a Firewall with UFW on Debian 13

October 7, 2026 by Jeff Wilson

A firewall is a security system that controls inbound and outbound access to a system. On a Linux server, a firewall is a crucial component to add as a security measure. In general, a firewall can be either hardware or software that prevents unauthorized access and protects the network from threats such as malware, DDoS attacks, and hacking. UFW is an iptables front-end feature in Debian 13 that can be used to configure a firewall system. UFW filters data and creates rules about what data can enter or exit a computer system. In this guide, we will show you how to set up a firewall using UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall) on Debian 13.
