<p class="intro">If you want to start getting into server hosting, system administration, or just want to get a basic minecraft/web server up for you and your friends, then welcome. We all start somewhere, and I would love if I could get your foot in the door.</p>
<h2>Notice</h2>
<p>This is heavily a WIP, so I'll be adding to this guide whenever I get time, and will update it's readibility, and correct/add anything missing once it's 'complete'. If I didn't put it up in an unfinished state, it would never go live, so bear with.</p>
<h2>Basic Server setup</h2>
<ul>
<li>Get a server and <a href="/guides/server-install-debian.html">Install Debian</a></li>
<li><a href="/guides/initial-server-setup.html">Basic Debian Server setup (with some security)</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/get-a-domain-name.html">Get a domain name</a></li>
<li><a href="/guides/add-domain-to-server.html">Connect your server and domain name</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/port-forwarding.html">Port Forwarding (home server)</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Now you officially own, and have setup a server. Currently all you can do is SSH into it though, so let's get some services on there</p>
<h2>Nginx Webserver</h2>
<p>A great first service for any server is a website, even if it's just a little page to let people know you own the server/domain name</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/guides/nginx-install.html">Install nginx</a></li>
<li><a href="/guides/setup-nginx-website.html">Setup an nginx website</a></li>
<li><a href="/guides/certbot-ssl.html">Add an SSL certificate w/Certbot</a></li>
<li><a href="/guides/nginx-web-optimisation.html">TODO: Nginx web optimisation</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/add-php-to-nginx.html">(Optional) Add PHP to your webserver</a></li>
<li>TODO:Guide to front-end web development</li>
</ul>
<h2>MariaDB Database</h2>
<p>A database is a great tool to store, access, and filter data. Typically used alongside a website, or other services, but can be useful standalone if you know what you're doing</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/guides/install-mysql-mariadb.html">Install mariaDB</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/sql-cheatsheet.html">SQL cheatsheet</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/adminer-setup.html">(Optional) Adminer setup</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/backup-mysql-mariadb.html">(Optional) Backup databases</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Backup your server!</h2>
<p>Backups are super useful. If something breaks, or gets accidentally deleted you can always use a backup to get it back</p>
<ul>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/backup-with-rsync.html">Backup with rsync</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/backup-with-rdiff.html">Backup with rdiff-backup</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/backup-with-cron.html">Setup backup cronjob(s)</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Run virtual machines</h2>
<p>Virtual machines allow you to use your server as multiple servers at once, with different operating systems, services, files, etc. If you're self-hosting this is a great way to separate concerns, having one system for each distinct task.</p>
<ul>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/setup-qemu-kvm.html">Setup Qemu/KVM</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/setup-kvm-bridge.html">Setup a bridged adapter</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/install-kvm-virtual-machine.html">Install a virtual machine</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/virsh-cheatsheet.html">Virsh cheatsheet</a></li>
<li>TODO:<a href="/guides/vm-seperation-of-concerns">Example of Separation of Concerns (SoC)</a></li>
</ul>
