This tutorial is an updated and improved version of a previous tutorial that I wrote. This new tutorial will work 100% on a (fresh) Ubuntu 22.04 system. The tutorial was put together in August 2023. All throughout this tutorial, I will be using the non-existing domain name: your.hostname.com as an example. You will need to replace every instance in the tutorial that contains your.hostname.com with your own domain name / …
This post is the full introduction that goes together with a new tutorial that I’m posting shortly after this.

This short guide will show you how to install Ant Media Server (Community Edition) on a Ubuntu 18.04 VPS server. Ant Media Server is a fork of Red5. The community Edition is free, but it does have it’s limitations that can be unlocked by purchasing a license. It runs on Java so we’re also installing that on our server. The server that I used in this example has Nginx installed …

Update 30-7-2023 – This post is a bit old. I have written a new article on the subject. Check it out here: https://www.ustoopia.nl/featured/block-countries-based-on-geo-data-with-ufw-firewall/ I was noticing some really strange requests in my web server’s log files on a VPS that I manage.

I have Ubuntu16.04 servers running and I want to run database engines like MariaDB on it. Normally I would just type sudo apt install mariadb-server and the database system would be up and running in under two minutes. Ubuntu16.04 will install version 10.0 by default, but I want to install a different version. At the very least 10.1. Why 10.1 you might ask? Well because 10.1 was the first release …
Just found an awesome script online that I tested today and it works great. It’s a script that allows you to create an ISO for a unattended installation for Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. Just made myself one of those ISO’s and I’m going to try to see if I can implement it in my PXE environment. If not, I can always place it on a USB flash drive and boot from …

This can be done really easy on any operating system that runs a desktop environment. But I wanted to add my storage as a mounted drive on Ubuntu Server, and it does not use a desktop environment so I use WinSCP and Putty to administrate my server. I did …
If you want IPv6 disabled permanently on a Ubuntu 16.04 system, here’s a good way to do it. Disabling it like this should keep it disabled permanently, even after performing updates that could potentially enable it again without you knowing it.
