This comment to me is another upvote to use dokku. Been a happy user for years myself. If you do need help, the discord is pretty responsive and always helpful.


Equity/profit sharing could easily be a 6th point in the article. In Europe, that's a lot less common than it is in the States though but you make a very valid point anyway.

On the other hand, isn't a CEO mostly driven by cash/profits only? For me personally, I would trade in cash for more flexibility and freedom at any time.


snap, Facebook didn't make the video public as I asked. I've uploaded it to vimeo and adjusted the post. Thanks for letting me know!


Don't know about that, I thought it was a common thing to say about life :)


Hey nnq, it took me months to master using a straight razor, but it's definitely worth it if you're willing to spend the time on it :). I could have written "take a sauna", which is equally relaxing to me, but just costs more.


I can't find that link. Can you tell me where you found that link so I can fix it?


Oh, I was just explaining rajdevar's link, which was posted without any context. Sorry about the confusion.


You're right. I don't have kids, so I'm definitely interested in how your version! :)


Hi! I teach Linux server administration basics in college, on Centos. I've been thinking about writing an ebook or some sort of guide for other developers to get started with Linux/Centos. Would you care to share what kind of things you'd like to learn? Are you talking about real linux basics, maintaining software, setting up Apache, ... ?


I've watched someone slowly learning sysadmin recently, and I think what would be really helpful is an easy way to understand what is needed, and why, for a basic LAMP server, with FTP and SSH for access, and iptables security basics. He started with installing a LAMP package and I see that it's scary for someone to start using the command line, modifying apache confs etc, when you have no idea what you are going to break where.


Hi,

Essentially getting apache up and running and actually understanding the commands I'm using, other things are ssh, setting up FTP and another thing that daunts me incredibly is setting up the virtual host, I find it so easy to break things when I don't know what I'm doing.

There are probably a couple things I missed out on but a noob to ninja type ebook would be great.

Thanks a lot


Sounds exactly like the basics I'm teaching my students. It isn't all that difficult to get started with linux once you know how to approach things. Thanks for the feedback, I'll think I might get started on an ebook that clearly builds things up.


Well, the thing is, he doesn't know what of all these he needs to learn. And there is no "book" or "tutorial" that can cover this.

Only way is the old and tested one... force yourself to use it, till you "get it". I don't know anyone who learned it some other way. And I know lots of sysadmins (and I have all the skills, though I'm a "DevOp")


I think that an ebook covering the process, start to finish, of configuring and securing a web server would be helpful.


I'm in a similar boat as the original poster; I'd love to learn the full LAMP setup process, how to use SSH correctly, how to set up domains/etc.
