I’ve read ‘The Home Lab Handbook: Building and Managing Your Own IT Lab from Scratch’ which I would recommend to anyone just starting out in selfhosting and homelabing. Relative to that, I found a ‘course’ online (https://linuxupskillchallenge.org/#table-of-contents) that would also be useful for new arrivals.
Anyone reading any good HomeLab & Selfhosting books lately?
I don’t have any books in particular to recommend, but with homelab’ing we should be learning about the command line of our OS(Powershell, terminal(bash, zsh)).
Learning the ins and outs of something like bash, cron, environment variables, for loops, systemd services(managing, creating your own), command line networking…all things I’ve had to learn to either setup, manage, and/or troubleshoot my homelab.
So maybe basic Linux command line books? Probably O’Reilly has some along with bash.
Speaking of O’Reilly, I’ve often wondered about their book cover art. Usually it’s some type of animal.
