A fascination for Linux, DevOps and building things. I have barely scratched the surface of this world. Documenting my journey I hope these breadcrumbs will enable others to learn. My approach is an OCD one. Meaning I desire to understand completely and secure in a paranoid style. I bake ssl certs at my private airgapped CA, using QR codes to export the server certs so as not to use any USB devices. Don't say I didn't warn you about the OCD part...

Learning a decent bit of Linux, Ubuntu style
I first installed Linux somewhere between 1998 and 2000. But it wasn't until 2015 that I started seriously pursuing Linux server and scripting knowledge. I chose to focus on Ubuntu and read the Official Ubuntu Server Book. It was at the end of this book that I realized the significant simple pattern that is common to almost all Linux server setups:
You need to be at least poweruser material. You're curious, and comfortable getting information on your own and like solving puzzles
Installing is not the hard part, at least on mainstream hardware
The commandline is simple. You need only a few commands to get you started: - Apt commands to install packages - cd, ls, pwd commands to move around the folders on the harddrive - nano as a text editor. I've come to the point where I prefer Vi for efficiency, but to flatten your learning curve, I recommend starting with nano
Have a basic high level understanding of networking
After this, almost any server install works like this:
Prepare: head to the Ubuntu Server Guide and read the page on the server you would like at your leisure. You don't have to remember everything. The page will still be there when you're going to install and configure
Install part 1: install Ubuntu Linux on the server
Install part 2: The server software: Use sudo apt install to install the necessary packages, as specified in the server guide.
Configuration part 1: find out in which folder the server stores it's config files.
Configuration part 2: open the config file[s] with nano. There will be a lot of examples that you can activate and customize.
Fixing: You _will_ briefly but annoyingly get stuck. Search Google for your problem. Or ask the good people of Ask Ubuntu.
There you go, working server. Could not be simpler or more secure. Oh and cooler...
