Sysadmin roadmap

If you would like to be a system administrator, or someone who self-hosts a lot of software, you need to build sysadmin skills. Here is a suggested learning roadmap for your growth.

Hosting

Host an HTML website

Deploy a website made with pure HTML. You could use Codeberg Pages.

Host a static website generated with a static site generator

Deploy a website generated with a static site generator like Hugo. Try to automate the deployments using a CI/CD provider.

Host a website on your computer at your home

Install and configure packages on your computer so that you're able to visit a site on your computer.

Make your home-hosted website accessible from the internet

You might need to use port forwarding, dynamic DNS, etc. You might sometimes have to contact your ISP to get a static IP or take you out of NAT. As a last resort you might have to piggyback on a cloud server.

Host a website on a VPS

Get a VPS, and host your own website on it.
