What you will learn

Students will not only be able to create servers, but they will understand how the basic operating system and tools they're using work. This means that students will have the tools to be self-sufficient and expand on their knowledge easily. They will be able to understand error messages, solve problems on their own, and address hardware-specific issues.

Description

Have you ever wanted to create your own website? What about an IRC server? Maybe a license server? A backend for your own product? For these things, you'll need your own server. However, paying someone else to create this server can be costly, and even if you do, you may not know how to set it up. This course will allow you to take an old computer and turn it into an engine to publish your ideas!


If you've got an old computer (you could find an old one you used to use but is now too obsolete for daily use, find one at an old school, get one on craigslist, etc.), the only thing you have to pay for is electricity.


We will be using Linux to replace the Operating System. which is the fundamental connection between hardware and software, to run our server. Linux is much much lighter than modern versions of Windows and Mac, allowing old computers to run much faster than you ever thought they could. However, Linux is technical and the installation process can be tricky, but don't worry, this course will teach you what you need to know!


First, I will teach you how to take a computer and install Linux onto it. I'll go over what Live USBs are, how to use the BIOS, and the Ubuntu Linux 18.04 installation process.


Then, I'll teach you the basics of Linux commands including how to navigate the filesystem using the Terminal, installing applications through the Terminal, editing text through the Terminal, and automating commands using bash scripts.


Next, I'll teach you how to create a webserver to host your own website! If you want to create a different type of server, all other parts of this course fully apply, and they will teach you the fundamentals needed to understand online resources pertaining to your type of server. This section will give you a framework for creating your own server!


Finally, I'll teach you the networking steps to ensure that your server isn't just available on your own computer or your own network but is instead available to users worldwide. This section will cover setting a static ip address and port forwarding your router to allow outside connections to reach your server computer.


Overall, this course will teach you how to create a server from start to finish yourself!

I stumbled on it through my search on how to learn to create my own website server because I am unable to afford continuing the one I currently use and now I feel like this is about to change my whole life. Nice one!! Thank you for sharing this with us

I thought the beginning would have more knowledge which I did not already possess, but I suppose that the onus falls on me, as I should have either (a): done more research, or (b) remembered that most people have absolutely no idea what they are doing when it comes to (in their case) the more complex aspects of computer techonlogy. Either way, the narrator was quick, thorough, knowledgable, and professional.

I hope this was a just for you learn how to teach. Turn your mic up. The videos Bash scripting and down were informative. Take care.

Good, but, could be better with more examples. I think its a little direct, and lacks basic details for beginners, especially in the last 3 classes

Thanks it was nice, but would have been better if domain pointing to this webserver and hosting sites is also included.

Good instructions on the course but the video presentation for the installation of Linux on the laptop is very poor. Keep it up!

Nice basic introductory course. Good to get the first glance of Linux commands and scripting with a couple more details thrown into the mix. Wouldnt recommend it as a standalone Linux crash course in its own.

Good Content for linux basics , appreciate that you have guided how to create live usb and installation of ubuntu, keep going and expecting more useful course on linux administration and live projects work if possible.

Buen curso introductorio para la creación de servidores ubuntu. La mayoria de las configuraciones las realiza con interfaz gráfica.

Благодаря этому курсу я понял, что Убунту не сложнее Виндоус. Не понравилось, что лектор спешил, опечатывался и ошибался, хотя курс идет всего сорок минут

Pronunciation could sometimes be better. Otherwise quick and straight forward. Basically, I did not expect more from a free video. BUT: most of the time the video is not sharp and it is not possible to read anything on the screen. That should improve for further videos.

it is a good course. the instructor knows what he is doing. he achieve his goal by delivering the knowledge to us, but in a simple way, he should wrap it up together at the end with a small example showing how we can use everything together. it is a good course actually to take a fast idea about port forwarding and web server. good luck.

First several lessons are how to download and install Linux, which I personally didn't need, but others might. The section on basic commands would be helpful for beginners to Linux command line. The information in 'Creating a Server' section was new to me and very helpful - understanding IP addresses,static IP address, port forwarding, using Apache, general knowledge, etc.
