  • Welcome to the Course and What to Expect. Why You Might Need a Server?3:36

    Welcome to my course on Linux server setup!

    I’ll go over the broad topics we’ll cover in the course. I’ll state what to expect from the course and will give you some ideas on why you might need your own server (either you are an IT person or not).

  • How Can You Utilize a Personal Server1:08

    In this lection I will give you some ideas on how can you utilize a personal server for your various needs.

  • About the Instructor1:36

    A short BIO of me as your instructor:

    • 15 years in web development business;
    • 7 years in IT consulting;
    • 5 years in hosting business;
    • PhD in enterprise information strategy.
  • What You Need to Get Started1:14

    This lection is about hardware and software you’ll need.

    In short, you will need:

    • Any PC or laptop running Windows, OS X or Linux desktop as your workstation;
    • Internet connection;
    • Notebook and a pan for note taking (Evernote or Microsoft OneNote will be even better) (highly recommended);
    • 2+ Gb USB flash drive or a DVD-R drive (optional);
    • Server computer or a dedicated PC (optional);
    • Dedicated static IP address (optional).
  • Simple Success Secret1:27

    To get maximum out of this lessons, chose the desired platform (a dedicated physical server, a virtual server or a virtual machine) in further lectures and please do repeat all the practical lessons to gain your own experience!

    This course is about practice -- there is no point in just watching the video lectures or reading the instructions. And, please, take notes! Create your own knowledge base in a note taking app and use tagging (!), so that you can quickly find a command or solution you need at the moment.

  • Why Command Line is Great2:44

    Command line may seem to be an out-fashioned old-style way of communicating with a computer, but it may be much more powerful, fast and comfortable then a graphical interface. You may want to think of it as of a Siri that understands a specific dialect (“commands”), a way to directly talk to a computer.

Requirements

  • The course assumes some knowledge of computer hardware and operating systems such as files, directories, and disk partitions.
  • You will need a one of these: a dedicated computer for your future server, a VPS or none of these as I will show you how to rent a virtual server for $5/month or even get it for free!

Suitable for beginning system administrators with zero experience in Linux administration. Through this course of  46 lectures (will be adding more regularly) you'll learn all of the fundamentals of web server administration, and gain experience in setting up Linux server OS and LAMP stack. Each chapter is packed with step-by-step guides which will put your new learned skills into practical use immediately.

You will start with choosing the right platform for your server. Then you will install Debian Linux OS to the server and set up the LAMP stack. After that you will configure multiple Apache virtual hosts and Nginx server blocks, create your first MySQL/MariaDB user and database, and finally you will install WordPress to your new server.
