How to manage VDS, where to start?

Question

Network administration

Hello!
I wanted to learn server management (installation, server management, adding php mysql apach modules, etc.)
and recently bought a VDS, but I don’t know how to manage the server
yet ... all the data was sent by mail ... where to start?
By the way, Ubuntu 16 is installed ..... and I didn’t install a control panel such as ISPanle or cPanel to teach how to manage the server through the console ....
what do you advise, are there good docks?

Install the control panel. Optimal ISPmanager.

Answer 3

Decide on the role of the server and then select configuration and monitoring tools. How familiar are you with Shell?
