  • Day 0 - Get Your Own Server

    Jump

  • Oracle is mentioned, just not recommended over AWS or Azure, for example.

  • Day 10 - Getting the computer to do your work for you

    Jump

  • Spread the word! Next course starts on Monday, 6 May 2024

  • The general curriculum is basically the same, but each month we try to fix any typos/errors and add any interesting extra to make each lesson more engaging.

  • Day 1 - Get to know your server

    Jump

  • Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. It was more of a way to walk away from Reddit, really. Some people asked for the challenge to be on Lemmy, I just listened to them.

  • Thanks!

  • Day 0 - Creating Your Own Local Server

    Jump

  • Yep, but since VirtualBox can be used in any guest OS and a lot of people come here still using Windows, I sort of simplified the tutorial by just focusing on it so far. I want to expand the "doing things locally" in the future and I accept suggestions on our GitHub.

  • Anki is awesome but the best way to memorize commands is to just use them. After you are finished with the challenge you may want to consider practicing with real world scenarios at https://sadservers.com/

  • Day 10 - Getting the computer to do your work for you

    Jump

  • In a production environment? Not really, there are better ways to do it. But it's a good beginner exercise.

  • Day 0 - Creating Your Own Server in the Cloud (but cheaper)

    Jump

  • Oracle is mentioned alongside AWS and Azure free tiers on the other Day 0 article.

  • Day 6 - Editing with "vim"

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, it slows things down, for sure. But if you never used anything like vim before, that slow pace can benefit the learning experience (at least that happened to me when I started). Bottom line is: vim is a lot. Be patient and it will get easier (and faster) over time.

  • Day 15 - Deeper into repositories...

    Jump

  • awww, thanks!

  • Day 17 - Build from the source

    Jump

  • I'd love to add more material about containers, if you have any recommendations please share.

  • Day 0 - Creating Your Own Server in the Cloud

    Jump

  • Agreed, Oracle is as devilish as IBM, but I didn't see any major discrepancies with their Ubuntu version (so far) like I saw on IBM Cloud. It's a cloud option, but definitely not my first pick.

  • Day 1 - Get to know your server

    Jump

  • No need to reboot, it's just a recommendation after your first update/upgrade to get any kernel changes in. You won't need to reboot for a long time after that.
