March 15, 2025

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install MySQL on Ubuntu 24.04 OS. MySQL is an open-source relational database management system storing data in table structures under different data types. The data types are integer, string, float, datetime, varchar, etc. Every data type stores various kinds of information. For example, an integer is for numbers, a float is for decimal numbers, the string is intuitive and stores strings, DateTime stores the date in a unique format, and so on.

Global applications like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter use MySQL for their database management needs.

How To Create a Self-Signed SSL Certificate for Nginx in Ubuntu 24.04

February 15, 2025

This blog post is about creating a self-signed SSL certificate for the Nginx web server in Ubuntu 24.04 OS.

The only difference is that certificate authorities do not trust the self-signed SSL certificate included with the web browsers. Self-signed certificate in most cases is used when there is no domain associated with your server, otherwise, if there is a domain it is better to use CA-Signed (Certificate Authority) SSL certificate. However in both cases with or without a domain(only IP address) we can install a self-signed SSL certificate. The CA-Signed can only be installed on a domain.
