A small personal project as a part of my progress
A little about me(from the previous post I made):
I am a 25 year old guy, I have done my bachelors in clinical psychology, but I have decided to transition into the field of tech after a few months of thinking. I got into Python, learned some basics, I would love to get more into cybersecurity in the future as well but for now I have decided to get more into Linux, RedHat and cloud computing. I am on a self-taught journey, I have no CS background. I am passionate about this enough but still at the very initial stage. I look forward to learning from the people here as much as I can.
Now,
Over the past few days, I’ve built and configured an Ubuntu home server while learning core Linux, networking, and self-hosting concepts through hands on troubleshooting and experimentation, it was honestly a fun thing to do. I worked with static IP configuration, Netplan, NetworkManager, SSH, and containerized services like Immich, while also diagnosing real networking issues such as Wi-Fi isolation and firewall accessibility. I explored remote access solutions like Tailscale, learned how Docker and CasaOS function, and began understanding virtualization, self-hosted infrastructure, and multi-service environments.
Through this process, I have understood some concepts and practiced ones I knew. I know this is still very basic but this as my first small project made my happy with the progress. I still have yet to strenthen my concepts as I am still close to three months into this.
If this makes any sense, is there anyone who can tell me how I should processed, what should I do next? I am still going through my KodeKloud LFCS course.
Thank you in advance.
(Edit): I am using an old Dell inspiron to run the server on.
