Sign up for my upcoming book: Pragmatic Self-Hosting - How to get started with Self-hosting for absolute beginners
So, I am doing a thing soon. I will publish the first version of my book:
Pragmatic Self-Hosting - How to get started with self-hosting for absolute beginners
Andrej Friesen
It is not a step-by-step guide, it is not a tutorial. It is more of a map to guide you through the first steps of self-hosting with the following topics:
- Choosing hardware
- Choosing an OS
- Installing an OS
- Network Basics to reach your servers
- Run applications with docker
- Exposing your applications
- Finding logs and a bit of troubleshooting
- Basic security
- Explaining File Systems
As you see this is not for Linux veterans but for absolute beginners. It is for my younger self.
The book is not done yet but when I get 10 signups I will publish the book in its current state. The current version has about 90 pages. I want to stay below ~200 pages.
There will be mistakes, unclear sections, etc. 100%.
But with Leanpub I can publish as often as I want to. I can adjust according to feedback during the writing process. There is also a private forum section for people who buy on Leanpub. There you can let me know if something is unclear or wrong. At least I think it is. Learning by doing.
PS: That cover is awful. I just created something in Canva in a couple of minutes. If you know someone who can offer me a better book cover, please let me know. Of course with compensation.
