Nginx

When I first started learning server technologies and how to host websites as well as other services like a personal git repository, Nextcloud, Home assistant and many others, it started with nginx. I started out learning how it all works and how to install everything from scratch on a Linux server host (Ubuntu server) This was a tedious and hard learning curve and these days I just use Nginx in a docker container with networking to proxy income requests to the right services and containers.

Git

While I may not use GIT on a daily basis as I’ve never really had any real need to place a whole WordPress site in a git repository, I’m familiar enough with the technology and occasionally use it for personal projects like bash scripts and docker-compose files to make deploying new sites easy and fast.

MySQL

From cleaning up redundant data or migrating websites connected to MySQL databases, I’ve got skills to perform manual backups and migrations without using 3rd party tools like PHPMyAdmin.

VPN

Virtual Private Networks is an essential tool to keep your work network private and only allow certain users access. It’s also a fantastic tool to lock a firewall by only allowing traffic through a dedicated VPN.

Docker & Docker-compose

Linux docker and docker compose is an amazing way to host microservices on a Linux server.
