About Us
Who We Are
bckinfo.com is a technical blog dedicated to Linux system administration, DevOps practices, open-source applications, containerization, databases, and cloud infrastructure. Founded by IT operations professionals with years of hands-on experience managing production systems, this site exists for one reason: to share real-world knowledge that actually works.
Every article here is written based on practical experience — not theory. When we document how to install, configure, or troubleshoot a system, it is because we have done it ourselves in real environments.
Why bckinfo.com Exists
Most technical problems do not have a single clean answer. Documentation can be incomplete. Stack Overflow threads go cold. Official guides assume knowledge you may not have yet.
We started bckinfo.com to fill that gap — a place where system administrators and developers can find step-by-step guides that are honest about what can go wrong, and clear about how to fix it.
Since launching, we have published over 350 tutorials covering topics including:
- Linux Operating Systems — Ubuntu, CentOS Stream, Rocky Linux, Debian, Fedora
- Containerization & Orchestration — Docker, Kubernetes, KubeSphere, KubeKey
- Virtualization — Proxmox VE, VMware, containerized environments
- Databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, CouchDB, Kafka
- DevOps & CI/CD — GitLab, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, monitoring tools
- Security — OpenVAS, ADFS, Active Directory, vulnerability scanning
- Backup & Recovery — Proxmox Backup Server, automated backup strategies
Our Approach
We follow a practical-first philosophy. Each guide we publish goes through the same process:
- We test it ourselves. Every tutorial is run in a real or lab environment before publication.
- We write for clarity. No unnecessary jargon. Commands are explained, not just listed.
- We keep it updated. As tools evolve, we revisit and update guides to stay accurate.
- We focus on production reality. We document edge cases, common errors, and troubleshooting steps — not just the happy path.
