Practical guides for engineers who build and run infrastructure

ComputingForGeeks has been the go-to resource for Linux, DevOps, and infrastructure engineers since 2014. No fluff, no filler – just tested commands and real configurations you can deploy today.

What we cover

Every article is written from hands-on experience – we run the commands, hit the errors, and document the solutions before publishing.

Linux Administration

RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux – from installation to production hardening. Package management, systemd, networking, storage, and security.

DevOps & Automation

Ansible, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows. Infrastructure as code, configuration management, and deployment automation that scales.

Databases

MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis. Installation, replication, backup strategies, performance tuning, and high availability setups.

Containers & Kubernetes

Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Helm. Container builds, orchestration, service mesh, monitoring, and production cluster management.

Virtualization

KVM, Proxmox, VMware, VirtualBox, OpenStack. Hypervisor setup, VM management, live migration, and cloud infrastructure deployment.

Security

Firewalls, SELinux, TLS certificates, hardening guides, vulnerability scanning, and compliance. Practical security for production systems.

Our approach

We don’t write about things we haven’t done ourselves. Every tutorial starts on a real system – a fresh VM, a production server, or a home lab. We run every command, capture every output, and troubleshoot every error before it reaches you.

  • Tested commands – every code block is verified on the target OS version
  • Version-specific – we specify exact software versions and OS releases
  • Complete workflows – from prerequisites to verification, nothing skipped
  • Production-ready – firewall rules, service hardening, and monitoring included

Who’s behind ComputingForGeeks

Josphat Mutai

Josphat Mutai

Founder & Lead Author

Infrastructure engineer, Linux nerd, and terminal dweller with 12+ years deep in the stack – from bare metal to Kubernetes, BGP peering to GitOps pipelines. I live in the intersection of systems engineering and automation: Linux administration, cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, OpenStack), container orchestration (Kubernetes, OpenShift, Nomad), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Crossplane, Pulumi), configuration management (Ansible, Salt), databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis), networking, and security hardening.

I started ComputingForGeeks in 2014 because I was tired of solving the same problems twice and finding outdated docs everywhere. Every article here comes from real deployments – production clusters, home lab experiments, and the occasional 2am incident that turned into a tutorial. My philosophy: if I had to figure it out the hard way, I’ll document it so you don’t have to.

Current obsessions: Crossplane for platform engineering, Cilium for eBPF networking, Talos Linux for immutable Kubernetes nodes, and finding new ways to break things in my Proxmox home lab.
