Build practical skills in CentOSÂ Linux installation and web server setup with this tutorial for beginners.
Although we make all the tutorials and demonstrations on CentOS operating system, note that CentOS explicitly aims for complete binary compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). The only real difference is that CentOS has the branding-related packages from RHEL replaced with recompiled versions from the sources provided by Red Hat.
So learning CentOS is 99% the same as learning Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
In this course you will learn about:
Physical dedicated server set up
DigitalOcean and Amazon Web Services virtual private server set up
CentOS 7 Linux operating system installation
Apache / Nginx web server, MariaDB database and PHP installation
Oracle VirtualBox installation to create your own VDS host server
Configure FTPÂ sever, firewall (with firewalld)Â and backups with Rsync
And much more tweaks in the upcoming monthly updates, including but no limited to tuning the web server for low RAM systems, applying security tweaks to your server to make it less vulnerable to external attacks etc.
Powerful Tools at Your Fingertips
Learning Linux server setup essentials puts a very powerful and useful tools at your disposal. After finishing this course, you will be able to organize your personal web hosting and any other web-based service out there, from e-mail to file sharing service.
Save money, take total control over your data and have fun!
Content and Overview
Suitable for beginning system administrators with zero experience in Linux administration.

Each chapter is packed with step-by-step guides and the exact Linux commands which will put your new learned skills into practical use immediately.

The instructor has never replied to any of my questions
Most is old stuff that I knew already but the Nginx vs Apache section was very informative and I actually now learned the difference.
Far too much useless chit-chat about things most grade school children know. I thought this course was geared to specific features of RHEL. So far it hasn't even touched on generic Linux!
Aleksey is very knowledgeable and keeps a steady pace with attention to detail. He has some of his screens in the Russian locale, that can be tricky to follow but he does explain the options. We can always replay!
Useful updates are the upgrade to php7 and using rsync to backup your data to another server
The instructions and the argument are nice and clear. It is very useful and helpful course.
do it good
Course does exactly what it is set out to do. While setting up my LAMP stack I wanted to use Nginx instead of Apache. Alekse was very helpful with this and answered all my questions really quickly. I'm very grateful and pleased that I took this course. I can't think of any specific examples but on a couple of occasions I wished there was a little more detail on why things were configured or done a certain way. This however, is an observation and not a criticism. Fyi - In English, NGINX is pronounced the exactly the same way you would say the words 'Engine Ex'. Anyway, great job. Thank you.
