Need a series of articles on system administration?
The topic is as follows and you can title it like this: "Setting up a lamp server at home."
I myself am a programmer, but here I am engaged in diversified activities. Among all, I recently studied a very large number of settings for all kinds of things: nginx, apache, php, mysql, postfix (I already wrote about this), I understand something about basic hardware problems.
Who is the series of articles aimed at:
Programmers, as well as people who are thinking of moving from hosting to a virtual / dedicated server and who need a universal system setup ala “hosting is only more powerful”. For professionals, it will probably not be interesting, but I hope that they will give some more advice, because I heard that the correct network setup can give a performance boost.
Among the topics:
Building a server based on the entry-level platform intel s3420gp , what problems can there be, without going into too much depth, but still I’ll note some things so that I don’t step on a rake. For example, with RAM, or with a choice of disks.
Basic server setup based on debian squeeze, software installation, basic monitoring tools, backups, repositories that I would recommend (it was a discovery for me that there are a lot of them and I found interesting collections for myself). Basic firewall setup.
Lamp setup, frontent, backend, PHP opcode caching, database, data caching. Calculation of server capabilities, calculation of RAM (I do it very roughly by eye), protection against attacks on the backend.
====
Somehow so messy so far. In general, if you are interested, then I will write about all this in sequence.
I won't write right away. Now I'm busy - I'm setting up MySQL, I've done half =).

I understood the
wishes. I will take into account. Then I'll start with the lamp setting, and then everything else.

A lot of articles have been written about web servers, debian, backups and repositories, but, as they say, I want “more and different”.
Honestly, I would love to read about the administration of corporate domain networks not based on Active Directory, i.e. about third-party solutions, there is not much information about them in RuNets, and even less suitable ones.
Well, if you adequately reveal the topics you have highlighted, then obviously no one will be worse off from this.
Dare!
I agree with dmsn - articles on the topic of basic debian setup (exactly like any other Linux) on various platforms - the sea, why write another one if it will not stand out? Another question is what you designated there as the 3rd paragraph - less has already been written about this, and if you are ready to chew the topic qualitatively and deeply - I think many people would like such articles.
I ran into a problem six months ago: it was never interesting, but suddenly it became necessary with priority *yesterday*, and all articles / manuals are either full-fledged for a week of study or outdated and not relevant, which turned out during the setup process, when some parameters were already named differently , are in other files, etc.
So more articles, fresh and different.
My article about setting up lamp in home servers:
1. sudo aptitude install apache2, libapache2-mod-php, mysql-server, php5-mysqlnd
2. profit!
About system administration it would be interesting infrastructural. How to raise SVN, how to commit configs there correctly (to be honest, I would not want to shove my entire /etc into svn. How to do it right? Make a separate directory and set symlinks from etc?), how to separate by services
It's always interesting to hear different points of view and approaches. I'm waiting for articles.
Make sure to make an article. And not one.
When a beginner masters virgin soil and makes a lot of mistakes, this allows other beginners to avoid them.
There is also the novice effect, when a fresh eye opens up new solutions or new problems.
As experience shows on Habré, out of 300 thousand readers, there will definitely be at least 10 thousand who will read any article and at least 1000 people who will like it. I think for the sake of 1000 it is worth working hard.
