    This! Selfhosting your own small apps is the best way to get practical, hands on experience with Linux administration.

      It’s also super fun and can be very helpful in some conditions.

      On the other hand, the deeper you dive, the more at risk is your wallet, some day I will for sure have a server room somewhere.

        Back in the day, we used to have “post2host” forums, where you could get VPS servers for free just by being active in the forum. That’s where I cut my teeth on Linux!

        Without that, 10 years ago, I would not have my career today. I am thankful.

          That sounds awesome! For me personally, when we were still in highschool, I got a VPS on netcup with two friends together. That was about 2 years ago. We’re phasing it out and all of us now have our own infrastructure.

          Once it is no longer available, we plan to build a nextcloud federation.

          The most important thing is to just start!
