The Edmonton Linux User Group (ELUG) is a chance to get together with other users of Linux, GNU, and Unix-like operating systems, and open source software. Our members range from newcomers to power users to seasoned administrators and developers; so, all are welcome!

We meet as an opportunity to exchange ideas, knowledge, and experiences for several reasons:

– to educate for personal and professional growth
– to promote and advocate for the free and open source movement
– to support and assist with Linux related challenges
– and to socialize with peers who have a common interest

Examples of topics that may be discussed or presented include (but not limited to):

– Exposure to different distributions
– Workshops on various tools and commands
– Kernel and system-level development and tuning
– just about anything else Linux-related

We welcome anyone with an interest in Linux and/or open source software and look forward to building the Linux community in Edmonton.

Standard Agenda:

6:00pm – Arrival, mingling
6:30pm – Welcome & introductions, presentation begins
7:30pm – Announcements, open discussions

Topic: Reverse Proxies – David

Many home users like to run services off of their residential ISP but are limited by a single IP address. Using an nginx reverse proxy we can run multiple services, running on the same port, point to the same address and have them function properly. For those who are interested in HTTPS support we suggest you look at certbot.

Topic: NFTABLES VS IPTABLES – Manuel

Are you confused about nftables and iptables? So am i! Manuel walked us through some of the differences between the two toolsets and lead us through examples of how you could implement firewall rules using both of them. Included in the presentation are some code examples as well as additional sources for a nice long read in front of the fire this winter. Afterwords you can read up on UFW and explain to the group how it fits in.
