For some months now, I’ve been trying to set up an Mbin instance, since as it’s more manual than the other softwares I found, and I understand things better if I can see the logic behind them. I’d rather do that before going for automated processes where if something breaks, I don’t know how to handle. However, trying to figure things out as I go, it’s so much stuff that I figured out instead what I knew was very little.

As I was also interested in hosting other sites, this made me reevaluate things, and turns out several things I don’t know, like how to host two sites in a same machine, how to handle horizontal attacks, what some tools are used for, etc.

So going back to the title, what to study? Maybe some specific book? Private classes/courses? Online tutorials? Something else? Just no university suggestion, please - from experience, they are extremely shallow at best.

Thanks in advance!

    I’ll be doing others’ suggestions of going from the basics, to be sure whether I’m missing or not any knowledge. This earlier parts shouldn’t require internet, but I’ll ask once I get to the DNS part. Thanks. 😊

      They are correct in that a basic foundation is crucial. Once you get that down to a note, then you can work on maybe running some Docker containers. I would just start with one and learn it. How it interacts with the rest of the stack, what else is it doing behind the scenes. Small steps lead to great strides.
