Hey everyone! I’m starting my Linux journey as a total beginner—does anyone have a "must-know" tip or a favorite resource they wish they had when they first started?

I am going to buy my homelab. But don’t know what do I get shall I get a raspberry pi or hp elite desk. And how many of each.

Good afternoon Crafters Before we close 2025, I would like to thank everyone who showed up and did the work. Shoutout to @Adeyemi Ojo for setting goals, doing the work, and coming back with real proof three weeks in a row. 🙌 Shoutout to @Florian Hirson for building and improving his home lab step by step and sharing clear updates. 💪 Shoutout to @Nithin Upadhyaya for staying consistent with learning, growing his network, and showing progress. 🤟 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝘂𝗯𝗲𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿’𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸.

I'm glad to tell you: I'm posted my first article on LinkedIN. I'm proud of it. Thank you community!

Last week I built a small but real DevOps project to practice end-to-end Kubernetes workflows — from code to cluster. What’s the project?A simple Go web service that counts visits using Redis, deployed on a local Kubernetes cluster (MicroK8s) and packaged as a Helm chart. 🧩 What’s inside - Go app with health & visit endpoints - Redis for state (visitor counter) - Docker image for the app - Kubernetes manifests (initially) - Helm chart (final state) - Ingress to expose the app via a hostname👉 http://go-app.local/visits ⚙️ What I focused on (DevOps lessons) - Turning raw YAML into a reusable Helm chart - Adding liveness & readiness probes for safe deploys - Using Ingress instead of NodePort hacks - Debugging real issues: disk pressure, pod evictions, networking - Making everything reproducible, not “works on my machine” 🔁 How you can reproduce it 1. Clone the repo👉 https://github.com/Griffindeetox/go-redis-k8s-lab 2. Start MicroK8s 3. Install the app with one command: microk8s helm3 install go-redis-app ./helm/go-redis-app -n go-redis-app --create-namespace 4. Add go-app.local to /etc/hosts 5. Hit:curl http://go-app.local/visits 🧠 Why this matters This isn’t about fancy tools — it’s about thinking like a DevOps engineer: - automate - observe - debug - package - repeat If you’re learning DevOps, start small but finish what you start. Happy to answer questions or help anyone reproduce this 👊
