IBM’s Red Hat Just Killed CentOS as we Know it: With CentOS Stream, Stability Goes out of the Door

CentOS is regarded as a stable, secure and free Linux distribution for servers. The stability part of it is being jeopardized thanks to the latest changes made to this project by IBM-owned Red Hat. Here’s a quick summary:

  • Focus shifts from CentOS Linux, the rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) to CentOS Stream, which tracks just ahead of a current RHEL release.
  • CentOS Linux 8, as a rebuild of RHEL 8, will end at the end of 2021.
  • After that, the rolling release CentOS Stream becomes the identity of CentOS project. There will be no CentOS 9 based on RHEL 9 in the future.
  • CentOS Linux 7 will continue its lifecycle and will end in 2024.

Let’s go in detail.

Before CentOS Stream, learn a little background knowledge of Red Hat, CentOS and Fedora

Let me explain it to those who are unaware. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) is a commercial Linux distribution developed by Red Hat and it offers both servers and desktop editions. They have strict guidelines to protect Red Hat trademark.

Red Hat has two main community projects on Linux distribution: Fedora and CentOS.

Redhat Fedora Centos
Situation until now

For years, Fedora worked as upstream for RHEL. This means that new features and changes get introduced in Fedora first and some of them get to be included in the next release of RHEL. In loose terms, Fedora works as testing ground for Red Hat. At least that’s what it used to be until a couple of years ago.

CentOS, on the other hand, is/was a downstream community project. Whatever changes RHEL introduced also get to be included in CentOS. A new version of RHEL released? A new version of CentOS would follow a couple of months later.

Basically, CentOS is a clone of RHEL with most of RHEL’s benefits but without RHEL’s cost. So far, it was regarded as the paying customers get the features first in RHEL and then the community users get them through CentOS.

CentOS Stream: What started as an experiment, becomes the future

Centos Stream Fiasco

In September 2019, Red Hat announced CentOS Stream. It is a rolling release version of CentOS.

The idea was to use CentOS Stream as a midstream between the upstream development in Fedora and downstream development in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).

So, Fedora is testing ground for the future major version release of RHEL and CentOS. At the same time, CentOS Stream clears the path to contribute to future minor release to RHEL and CentOS.

Sounds like a good idea? It was until Red Hat announced that in the future CentOS will only exist as CentOS Stream.

The latest stable release CentOS 8 suddenly has its life cut short to the end of 2021 instead of the earlier projected date of May 2029. The older CentOS 7 will still be supported till 2024.

Do you see the problem with this change? You deployed CentOS 8 thinking that you’ll get a stable production server till 2029. Instead, it gets discontinued next year and you are forced choose between opting for CentOS Stream or replace it with other distributions like Debian or Ubuntu.

This means while the paid RHEL users will enjoy the well-tested stable server, community members will have no option other than using a not-so-stable rolling release distribution.

Corporate interference often spell doom

As Nixcraft observes, when a big corporate enters the scene, it may not always bring good news. Community projects often take the hit.

Red Hat had been a successful company for a long time. It was the first billion dollar open source company. Red Hat also put itself as industry leader with its focus on containers and orchestration platforms.

A cash-rich but struggling IBM bought Red Hat for $34 billion. It remains one of the biggest tech buy-outs in the history.

IBM is directing Red Hat and Red Hat is directing CentOS. The move to convert stable CentOS to CentOS Stream will discourage the use of freely available CentOS server. CentOS is the second most popular choice for server and some of its users may opt for RHEL licenses. This will bring additional revenue to Red Hat.

Red Hat wants to you trust CentOS Stream for your servers

CentOS assures that this move will not make CentOS Stream a RHEL beta test platform.

CentOS Stream will be getting fixes and features ahead of RHEL. Generally speaking, we expect CentOS Stream to have fewer bugs and more runtime features than RHEL until those packages make it into the RHEL release

Red Hat also suggests putting your faith in the CentOS Stream project. It mentions that many enterprises are already using CentOS Stream for their servers.

we’ve seen our ecosystem embrace CentOS Stream as a “rolling preview” of what’s next in RHEL, both in terms of kernels and features. Facebook runs millions of servers supporting its vast global social network, all of which have been migrated (or are migrating) to an operating system they derive from CentOS Stream.

What lies ahead?

It will be interesting to see how things develop in the future. For the moment, despite all the assurances, it looks like CentOS is becoming the beta of RHEL future releases.

What do you think of the development? What’s your opinion on CentOS Stream?

How to Pretty Print JSON File in Linux Terminal

JSON files are awesome because they store collection of data in a human-readable format. However, reading the JSON file can be a pain if the JSON file is minified.

Take this for an example:

Print Json
Minified JSON is difficult to read

A computer can easily read it. Even a human can still read it but if JSON file is properly formatted to display the content, it will be much easier. I mean JSON files are supposed to read like this after all:

Pretty Printed Json
Pretty Printed JSON is easier to read

You can use most text editor with some plugins to display it with proper formatting. However, if you are stuck to a terminal or if you want to do it in your shell script, things will be different.

If you got a minified file, let me show you how to pretty print the JSON file in Linux terminal.

Pretty print JSON with jq command in Linux

jq is a command line JSON processor. You can use it to slice, filter, map and transform structured data. I am not going in details about using jq command line tool here.

To use jq, you need to install it first. You can use your distribution’s package manager to install it. With universe repository enabled, you can install it on Ubuntu using the apt command:

sudo apt install jq

Once you have it installed, use it in the following manner to pretty print JSON file on the display:

jq . sample.json
Pretty Print Json Linux Terminal
Pretty printed JSON file

You may also tempt to use cat but I believe it one of the useless use of cat command.

cat sample.json | jq

Keep in mind that the above command will not impact the original JSON file. No changes will be written to it.

You probably already know how to redirect the command output to a file in Linux. You probably also know that you cannot redirect to the same file and the tee command is not guaranteed to work all the time.

If you want to modify the original JSON file with pretty print format, you can pipe the parsed output to a new file and then copy it to the original JSON file.

jq . sample.json > pretty.json
Pretty Printing Json Linux Terminal
Pretty printing JSON file in Linux Terminal

Bonus: Minify a JSON file with jq command

Let’s take a reverse stance and minify a well formatted JSON file. To minify a JSON file, you can use the compact option -c.

jq -c < pretty.json
Minify Json File Linux
Minified JSON file display

You can also use cat and redirection if you want:

cat pretty.json | jq -c

Using Python to pretty print JSON file in Linux

It’s more likely that you have Python installed on your system. If that’s the case, you can use it pretty print the JSON file in the terminal:

python3 -m json.tool sample.json
Pretty Print Json With Python
Pretty printing JSON with Python

I know there are other ways to parse JSON file and print it with proper format. You may explore them on your own but these two are sufficient to do the job which is to pretty print JSON file.

Meet Twake, A Modern Open-Source Collaboration Platform [Nextcloud Alternative]

Brief: Twake is a modern looking collaboration platform with focus on Kanban project management methodology. You can use it for free, opt for paid plans, or simply host it yourself.

Twake: A Modern Open-Source Nextcloud-like Collaboration Platform

Twake Document Storage

We’ve covered Nextcloud as one of the finest options to facilitate remote working and collaboration. At It’s FOSS, we use it to store our internal documents, manage tasks via Kanban board and more.

I’m sure you will find several other options as collaboration platforms. Here, I’m going to give you a brief introduction on something that I stumbled upon i.e. Twake.

Twake is a modern take on a collaboration platform which aims for a rich user experience along with useful features as well. Unlike Nextcloud or ownCloud, you can opt to use the official hosted instance without any hassle or just self-host it if you want.

To test how it works and what it offers, I signed up for an account on their official instance with a free account.

Twake App Sign In

Let’s take a look at some key highlights of Twake.

Features of Twake

Twake App Board

You get all the features you’ll find in a standard collaboration platform. You have tools to:

  • Store documents
  • Manage to-do lists
  • Create Kanban project boards with tasks deadlines, labels, subtasks and calendar view
  • Shared calendar
  • Video conferencing
  • Slack like discussion boards
  • Collaboratively edit documents, even MS Office documents
  • Share documents or invite outsiders to discussions
Twake

The features that you can make use of will depend on what you’re using. For instance, if you self-host it, you will have no restrictions and can control whatever you need.

But, if you opt for the free plan on the official instance, you will be limited a single workspace, no guest collaborators, and a few other restrictions.

Here, I shall list all the key features and leave the rest for you to explore:

  • Collaborative messaging
  • Ability to create different channels (like Slack, Rocket.chat etc)
  • Create tasks and manage them
  • Board view of tasks
  • Document management support
  • Calendar view with task as well
  • Unlimited message history (premium or self-hosted)
  • Unlimited members (premium or self-hosted)
  • Direct Messaging support
  • Invite external members
  • Guest collaborators (premium or self-hosted)
  • Application integrations like Jitsi, Giphy
  • Cross-platform desktop support (Linux, Windows, and macOS)
  • Mobile apps for Android and iOS
  • Can be self-hosted

Installing Twake client on Linux Desktop & Server

Twake Calendar View

For desktop, you just have to head to the download page and get the AppImage file. You might want to read how to use AppImage files in Linux if you don’t know about it.

If you want to self-host it, you should go through the official documentation to get the necessary information. Our DevOps team deployed it on our test server using Docker containers and it worked pretty well in our limited testing.

Can’t self-host? Let us help you

Deploying open source applications and managing Linux servers takes some expertise and time. If you lack either but still want to have your own instance of open source software like Twake, we can help you out.
With our new project, High on Cloud, you can leave the deployment and server management part to us while you work on growing your business and community.

Closing Thoughts

Twake is developed by LINAGORA, a France based open source company. Their servers are hosted in EU and they are GDPR compliant.

Twake looks to be an incredibly promising collaborative platform while providing a rich user experience. I do find it a bit slow at login page so this is something they could improve. But other than that, it’s a good alternative to platforms like Trello, Sunsama, Asana etc.

What do you think about Twake? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

Always on Top: An Often Ignored But Handy Feature in Linux Desktop

“Always on Top” is one of those features that people are either not aware of or they simply ignore it.

And this surprises me. Because for me, it is one of the features that I simply love to use on Linux desktop.

If you are not aware of it already, (almost) all applications have this “Always on Top” option. Usually, when you open a new application, it gets the focus and occupies the screen above all other running applications.

With the “Always on Top” option selected, the application window will always be visible, no matter what other application you open.

This comes handy for me in situations where I have to use terminal and read something together. I can keep the terminal in “Always on Top” mode so that it remains visible while I browse the internet or interact with team members through Rocket Chat.

Using “Always on Top” feature in Linux

This cannot be simpler than this. All you have to do is to right-click on the top bar of the application. In here, select the Always on Top option. That’s it.

Set Always On Top Linux
Right click on the application bar and select the option

Keep in mind that the position of the application is not fixed. You can move the application to any corner of the screen. It will remain visible on the top of all opened applications.

To disable the “Always on Top” mode, you have to select it one more time.

Disable Always On Top
Same steps: Right click on the application bar and select the Always on Top option

Do note that you won’t see the “Always on Top” option if your application is in full-window mode.

I know switching between applications is a matter of Alt+Tab keys but when you have several applications running, switching apps will require more than two keystrokes.

This feature should be available in most desktop environments. If you don’t see it, please check which desktop environment you are using and let me know. I’ll update the article with the information.

Do you like the “Always on Top” feature

This is like the “Picture in Picture” feature that modern web browsers like Firefox are providing these days. Linux had it way before.

I know this is a tiny thing and perhaps did not warrant an entire article. But I also have a feeling that in the world full of Poirots, there will be some Hastings and for them, this will be a revelation.

So, are you Hercule Poirot (already using this feature) or Captain Hastings (didn’t know about it)? Or perhaps you are Chief Inspector Japp (knew about this feature but never bothered to use it).

I couldn’t help using Agatha Christie jargon. If you are not a fan, just ignore it :)

9 Open Source Forum Software That You Can Deploy on Your Linux Servers

Looking to have a community forum or customer support portal? Here are some of the best open source forum software you can deploy on your servers.

Just like our It’s FOSS Community forum, it is important to always build a platform where like-minded people can discuss, interact, and seek support.

A forum gives users (or customers) a space to reach out for something that they cannot easily find on the Internet for the most part.

If you are an enterprise, you may hire a team of developers and build your own forum the way you want but that adds a lot of cost to your budget.

Fortunately, there are several impressive open source forum software that you can deploy on your server and you’re good to go! You will save a lot of money in the process and still get what you need.

Here, I have compiled a list of best open source forum software that you can install on your Linux server.

Best open source forum software to build a community portal

Open Source Forum Software

In case you haven’t built a website yet, you might want to take a look at some open-source website creation tools before you deploy a forum.

Note: The list is in no particular order of ranking.

1. Discourse (modern and popular)

Itsfoss Community Discourse

Discourse is the most popular modern forum software that people deploy to set up their discussion platforms. In fact, our It’s FOSS community forum utilizes the Discourse platform.

It offers most of the essential features that I’m aware of which includes email notifications, moderation tools, style customization options, third-part integrations like Slack/WordPress, and more.

It is completely free to self-host and you can find the project on GitHub as well. If you do not need the hassle of deploying it on a self-managed server, you can always choose to opt for managed services offered by Discourse itself (which will be certainly expensive).

2. Talkyard (inspired by Discourse and StackOverflow)

Talkyard Forum

Talkyard is completely free to use and an open-source project. It looks close to Discourse but there are distinctions if you inspect it.

You get most of the key features from StackOverflow here along with all essential features that you would expect on a forum platform. It may not be a popular forum solution but if you want something similar to Discourse along with some interesting features, this is worth trying out.

You can explore more about it in their GitHub page.

3. NodeBB (Modern and full of features)

Nodebb

NodeBB is an open-source forum software based on Node.js. It aims to be simple, elegant, and fast as well. Primarily, it is geared towards organizations and enterprises with managed hosting plans available. But, you can choose to host it yourself as well.

You get a real-time native analytics feature along with chat and notification support as well. It also offers an API, if you want to integrate it with any of your existing product. It also supports moderation tools and tools to fight spam.

You get some 3rd party integration support out of the box like WordPress, Mailchimp, etc.

Explore more about it in their GitHub page or the official website.

4. Vanilla Forums (enterprise focused)

Vanilla Forums

Vanilla Forums is primarily an enterprise focused forum software with essential features to brand your platform, offer a Q/A for customers, and also gives the ability to vote on posts.

The user experience is geared with a modern look and is being used by the likes of EA, Adobe, and some other big shot companies.

Of course, if you want to try the cloud-based Vanilla Forums (managed by a team of professionals) along with the access to some premium features, feel free to request a Demo. In either case, you can opt for the community edition, which is free to use with most of the latest features with the responsibility of hosting it yourself and managing it.

You can explore more about it on their official website and GitHub page.

Recommended Read:

5. bbPress (from WordPress)

Bbpress

bbPress is a solid forum software built by the creators of WordPress. It aims to provide a simple and snappy forum experience.

The user interface would seem old-school but it is easy to use and offers the basic functionalities that you would normally look for in a forum software. The moderation tools are simple and easy to set up. You can extend the functionality using plugins available and choose from several themes available to tweak the look and feel of your forum.

If you just want a simple forum platform with no fancy features, bbPress should be perfect. You can also check out their GitHub page for more information.

6. phpBB (classic forum software)

Phpbb

If you want a traditional forum design and just want the basic functionalities, phpBB software is a good choice. Of course, you may not get the best user experience or the features, but it is functional and quite effective as a traditional-design forum plaform.

Especially, for users comfortable with the traditional approach, it will be a simple and effective solution.

Not just limited to the simplicity, but also it is way easier to set up with an average hosting provider. You get a 1-click installation feature on every shared hosting platform, so you do not need a lot of technical knowledge to set it up as well.

You can explore more about it in their official website or the GitHub page.

7. Simple Machines Forum (another classic)

Simplemachines

Similar to php BB, Simple Machines forum is yet another basic (or simple) implementation of a forum platform. You may not be able to customize the look and feel by a long extent (not easily at least) but the default look is clean and offers a good user experience.

Personally, I like it better than php BB, but you can head to their official website to explore more about it. Also, you can easily install Simple Machines Forum on any shared hosting service using the 1-click installation method.

8. FluxBB (old school)

Fluxbb

FluxBB is yet another simple and lightweight open source forum. When compared to some others, it may not be super actively maintained but if you just want to deploy a basic forum with a few users, you can easily give this a try.

You can explore more about it in their official website and the GitHub page.

9. MyBB (less popular but worth a look)

Mybb Example

MyBB is a unique open-source forum software that offers a wide range of styles and includes essential features you’ll need.

Starting from plugin support and moderation tools, you get everything necessary needed to manage a big community. It also supports private messaging to individual users similar to Discourse and similar forum software.

It may not be a popular option but it checks out for most of the use-cases and it completely free. You might want to support and explore the project on GitHub as well.

Bonus: Flarum (in beta)

Flarum Screenshot

If you want something simpler and unique, have a look at Flarum. It is a lightweight forum software which aims to be mobile-first while offering a fast experience.

It supports some third-party integrations and you can extend the functionality using extensions as well. Personally, it looks beautiful to me. I haven’t got a chance to try it you can take a look at its documentation and it is safe to assume that it features all the necessary features for a forum.

It is worth noting that Flarum is fairly new so it is still in beta. You might want to deploy it on your test server first before taking a leap of faith on your production environment. Do check out their GitHub page for more details.

Can’t self-host? Let us help you

Deploying open source applications and managing Linux servers takes some expertise and time. If you lack either but still want to have your own instance of open source software, we can help you out.
With our new project, High on Cloud, you can leave the deployment and server management part to us while you work on growing your community forum.

Wrapping Up

Most of the open source forum software offer pretty much the same features for basic use-case. If you are looking for something specific, you might want to explore their documentations.

Personally, I recommend Discourse. It is popular, modern looking and has a significant user base.

What do you think is the best open source forum software? Did I miss any of your favorites? Let me know in the comments below.

Watch Live TV on Linux With Hypnotix: A New IPTV Application Being Developed by Linux Mint Team

The rise of streaming services like Netflix made people speculate about the dim future of TV channels. While the newer generation might not watch TV anymore, TV channels are not out of fashion, yet.

Many streaming services like Hulu and Hotstar include TV channels in their offering. TV channels are also utilizing live streaming to broadcast their content to viewers on the internet.

Another way to watch live TV is by using IPTV. There are a number of TV channels available via IPTV so that viewers can use internet to watch the live broadcast. Some channels are available for free while some might require subscription.

There have been a few applications on Linux to watch IPTV channels but most have been discontinued. Linux Mint team announced that they are working on a new app that will allow you to watch TV channels via IPTV on your Linux system.

Hypnotix: New IPTV application under development

Hypnotix Iptv App Linux Mint

Hypnotix is an IPTV streaming application with support for live TV, movies and series. It supports IPTV providers using M3U URL, Xtream API or local M3U playlist.

If none of the above make sense to you, don’t worry. Hypnotix comes with FreeIPTV preconfigured. FreeIPTV is a project that has M3U for over 2,000 TV channels that are legally free to watch.

Which means that you can get a huge list of freely available TV channels from all over the world.

Hypnotix Free Tv Channel Lists

You can click on the country or region of your choice. It will show you the list of channels in the left sidebar. Clicking on a channel will start playing the content in the right sidebar.

Live Tv Linux

You can also go full screen with F or F11 keyboard shortcut or use the button in the application.

There is also provision to handle VOD (Video on Demand) library but I couldn’t figure out a way to use it.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Viewing experience depends on your internet speed and the TV channels’ servers.
  • Some TV channels might not work even if they are listed in the application.
  • You may go back a few seconds or minutes but this depends upon the cache.
  • You may also pause the live streaming and it will maintain a cache so that you can resume later. I don’t know how big the cache could be.
  • There is no way to control the video streaming quality as you do on YouTube and other video streaming websites.
  • You won’t get running program’s detail in the player.
  • This is TV broadcast so you get to see the same ads that are broadcasted during program breaks.
Hypnotix Cache
Streaming is cached

Installing Hypnotix on Linux

Hypnotix is still in beta phase of development. The .deb file for the beta version is available for testing. On Ubuntu and Debian-based distributions, you can install it from the DEB file.

At the time of writing this article, no other package is available for Hypnotix. This means Fedora and Arch users will have to wait.

More features to come

Linux Mint development team plans to add more features in the future:

  • EPG support (Live TV Program)
  • PVR: pausing, time-shifting, recording, etc.
  • Custom categories: To list channels in appropriate categories
  • Favorites: so that you don’t have to search for your favorite channels all the time.
  • Hiding unused content

I like Linux Mint team. Unlike many other distributions, they are not just Ubuntu or Arch repackages with different theme and wallpapers. They put effort in developing not only the distribution but also applications like Hypnotix, Warpinator etc for their users. Other distribution maintainers should learn from Mint team.

Hypnotix provides a way to watch the IPTV channels with a simple and easy to use interface. Personally, I don’t watch TV but I know many people do. Are you one of them? If yes, do you look forward to using it? Do share your views in the comment section.

How to Add Third-Party Repositories in Fedora and Get Access to a Huge Number of Additional Software

After you install Fedora, you may discover that some of the software that you want to install and use is not available in the software store. These packages may not be in the Fedora repos for several reasons.

Don’t worry, I’ll tell you how to make them available by adding third party repos for Fedora.

What are the third party repositories in Fedora?

Operating system devs often make decisions on what packages can and cannot be available in their repos. Fedora is no different. According to the Fedora docs, third party repos contain packages that “have more liberal licensing policies and provide software packages that Fedora excludes for various reasons”.

Fedora enforces the following guidelines when it comes to packages:

  • If it is proprietary, it cannot be included in Fedora
  • If it is legally encumbered, it cannot be included in Fedora
  • If it violates United States laws (specifically, Federal or applicable state laws), it cannot be included in Fedora

For this reason, there exists a couple of repositories that a user can add. This enables the user to get access to the additional software packages.

Enabling RPM Fusion Repositories in Fedora

RPM Fusion is the main source for third party applications for Fedora. RPM Fusion is the result of three projects (Dribble, Freshrpms, and Livna) merging. RPM Fusion offers two different software repos.

  • The free repo contains open-source software.
  • The nonfree repo contains software that does not have an open-source license, but the source code is freely available.

There are two ways to enable RPM Fusion: from the terminal or by clicking a couple of buttons. We’ll take a look at each.

Method 1: Command line method

This is the easiest method to enable the RPM Fusion repos. Just enter the following command to enable both repos:

sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

You will be asked to enter your password. You will then be asked to verify that you want to install these repos. Once you approve it, the installation will be completed in a few seconds or minutes.

Install RPM Fusion via command line
Install RPM Fusion via command line

Method 2: Graphical method

To enable the RPM Fusion repos using this method, you need to visit the RPM Fusion Website. You will see links for both repos for different Fedora versions.

RPM Fusion recommends installing the free repo first. So, click the link for the free repo for your version of Fedora. This will open a window asking if you want to install the repo. Click install.

Install RPM Fusion via GUI

Once the installation is completed, go back and install the nonfree repo using the same steps.

Enable Fedora’s Third Party repositories

Fedora recently started offering its own repo of third party apps. The number of applications available in this repo is very small. You can install Chrome browser on Fedora with it. Apart from Chrome, it also includes Adobe Brackets, Atom, Steam, Vivaldi, Opera, and more.

Just like RPM Fusion, you can enable this repo via the terminal or graphically.

Method 1: Command line method

To enable Fedora’s third-party repo, enter the following command into your terminal:

sudo dnf install fedora-workstation-repositories

Be sure to ensure your password when prompted and type Y to approve the installation.

Method 1: Graphical method

If you are not comfortable using the terminal, you can use the graphical method.

First, you need to open Gnome Software. Next, you need to click on the hamburger menu in the top right corner and select “Software Repositories” from the menu.

Gnome Software Menu
Gnome Software Menu

In the Software Repositories window, you will see a section at the top that says “Third Party Repositories”. Click the Install button. Enter your password when you are prompted and you are done.

With these additional repositories enabled, you can install software to your heart’s content. You can easily install them from the software center or using the DNF package manager.
