Welcome!
I’m a hobbyist/professional system administrator residing in Keelung, Taiwan.
travnewmatic.com serves as a kind of portfolio of my sysadmin work.
While there is a fair amount of non-sysadmin related content on here (music, anime, etc.), this site mainly serves as a place for me to document maintenance I’ve done on my servers.
travnewmatic.com lives in a 2U Supermicro in Dallas.
keelung1.ddns.net lives in a Thinkpad X230 in my apartment in Keelung.
Technologies employed on my servers include:
- Ubuntu
- ZFS
- KVM / virt-manager
- Apache
- MariaDB
- iRedMail
- Zabbix
- Openfire
- pfSense
- Streisand
- Plex Media Server
- Seafile
- LetsEncrypt
- Linux Game Server Managers
- Minecraft Server
- WordPress
- GNU Social
- Tiny Tiny RSS
- x2go
- tmux
- xfce
- No-IP
If Linux interests you, I strongly urge you to invest the weekend or two it takes to complete the free Introduction to Linux course offered by edX.
I started learning Linux by formatting, installing, and putting out fires by Googling errors and pasting commands from forum posts. I still do that, and I learned a ton, but the education that yielded was incomplete. The Introduction to Linux course helped fill in the gaps and then some. I cannot recommend this course enough.
