So my employer got me a business Udemy account and I want to make the most of it. What are good courses there for a home self hoster?

I’ve got a couple Docker for beginners courses.

Would an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner be any useful?

I’m looking into networking as well, so I understand VLANs, routing and firewalls.

I have a decent grasp of Linux fundamentals, but I’m outdated in administration as I haven’t been more than a user for the past 10 years.

I have this one bookmarked. Haven’t taken it though, has decent reviews: The Ultimate Linux Home Server Course - Learn and improve your Linux skills through building your own home server

I would have the same question for LinkedIn Learning

Many local libraries provide access to this incredible resource too. Check yours to see.

There are a heap of general “Linux Administration” courses which will patch a lot of holes in the knowledge of almost all self-taught self hosters. I’d been using Linux for a while but didn’t know you could tab to complete file names in commands till I learned it on Udemy ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, what most people lack is foundational networking. How a TCP packet is constructed and routed, for example. The difference between routing and switching. How a TCP connection is built and destroyed. Stuff like that. And a basic knowledge of how a DNS request is made and resolved. And DHCP.

Agreed. Any link to good material?

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, automates assignment of IPs when connecting to a network
DNS Domain Name Service/System
IP Internet Protocol
TCP Transmission Control Protocol, most often over IP

3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 5 acronyms.
