Thanks for this. got my first job in IT a year ago. But have more than a fountaional knowlwedge from 3 years of homelab experience. You have given me so much more confidence to push forward at my currrent workplace to get those skills logged on my CV (resume) and push for a promotion. Thanks again!
Thanks for the words of encouragement. Going to check out your homelab as well.
Thank you! I look your brief but very good description. I appreciate that I didn't have to watch 30-minute video to just learn about the basics of what is needed for a job. Now to build a home lab!!!
Thank you for your insight! I'm not sure how YouTube suggested your video, but I am grateful that it did. I dabble in Linux and am looking to become an AIX (UNIX) engineer. But, I am not comfortable in jumping straight into certification unless I get more hands-on experience. Although I had a good idea where to start on system administration, this is a great 'real world' explanation of what you really need to know to do 90% of the work.
I was planning on doing just that. Got my raspberry pi 5 the other day. Got a Terraria (game) server running on a raspberry pi 400. Was fun to install 🙂 Learned a lot and I want to learn more.
Thank You. Great advice.
I wouldn't say its that easy since almost 70 to 80 percent of the Linux Sysadmin jobs out there is in the DoD sector that often requires a Secrete or Top Secrete Clearance. You may find a few Red Hat jobs in finance and banks but no that many of those jobs exists. Most sysadmin jobs out there are mixed Windows and Linux environment. With more and more companies moving more to the cloud that less Linux Sysadmin jobs. DevOps Engineers, SRE Engineers and Cloud Engineers are the modern sysadmins today. Lots of Linux is used in the Cloud.
Hi mate , That was really inspiring and really easy to take in . Thanks for making it simple . Please drop mini projects we can do
thank for help.
I'm going after my RHCSA and then RHCE. Brand new in chasing the certs, but been a hobbyist for 4 years. Do you think having chatGPT create practice tickets is a good way to learn?
thank you
Thanks tons.
From the areas you mentioned, most of it is really basic stuff. Is being a linux user for a couple years really all you need to land a job as a sysadmin? I'm curious about switching careers atm. Ive been a linux user for the last 5 years, using mostly ubuntu and debian based distros as my daily driver. While I dont consider myself a power user, I feel like I can pretty confortably do alot of the things you listed.
I am very insterested in Debian as a server for a home lab but I am looking for tutorials on how to setup and use it?
I just finished studies in Redhat Enterprise Linux as a system administrator and right now am looking for a volunteer job to gain more experience as a system administrator. Can you help me find one please. I am ready to work from remote.
What projects do you suggest?
that HR filter tho
I am more or less already familiar with 6 key points that you mentioned but one thing really slows me down is coding, do you code a lot other than Bash or Shell script?
Is Linux Sys admin still relevant in 2024? I thought everyone was moving to DevOps and Cloud Computing
