I would say so, yes. It’s very basic skill level, so while the tutorial states that it is geared towards a VM running ubuntu, “any” reasonable linux install will do.
Highly recommended. I’m already a veteran linux user, but I still find the read enjoyable, plus I might pick up something new or forgotten from time to time.
Each lesson seems like it should be pretty quick, so if you have a few hours to spare I’m sure you can do them all in one sitting.
I’m off all week so I just might. I have an Oracle VPS too. I definitely think it’d be fun and honestly pretty easy since I’ve been using Linux since highschool
I think this guide looks great and your platform is extremely polished. But I’m confused on why are you sharing on this dead community? Especially that programming dev the instance itself isn’t really a blooming community for devs really. I see you already have a follower base on GitHub so you’re not actually desperate.
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.
Thank you for putting this together. Wish I’d had such a resource when I was starting out. From the bit that I’ve followed along in the past, I give my endorsement for this training. Who am I? Some guy who’s on Lemmy.
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 sadservers.com
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.
Started this today! Kinda wondering, on a local VM, is it always necessary to reboot the Ubuntu server before ssh’ing in from my actual machine? Or did I miss something here? I’ve used ufw to open port 22 on both sides, so I’m kind of at a loss here lol
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.
Hm, my local machine keeps timing out for some reason. I can ssh from the VM to the local machine, but not the other way around, unless I’ve just rebooted the VM, also Termux et al don’t work at all for some reason. Idk, weirdness on my end, I’ll just leave it up after tomorrow’s lesson!
Machine created! I did it on VMware workstation :)
