Servers And Hosting

Servers and hosting goes far back in time with me. All the way back when Minecraft released, I have been hosting servers for my friends—either in the cloud via a service or on my personal PC—I always made sure that my friends and I could play. Nowadays, I have branched out into many different kinds of servers. I have learned enough Docker to host this and many other websites, Minecraft servers, DDNS signalers, reverse proxies, and other game servers. Every day I interact with my home lab, I learn something new, tinker with things beyond my understanding, and break it until I learn everything about it so I can put it back together.

Docker has been a godsend. Every time I break something, it's in its own container and the fireball can't spread to the others. Even if this website goes up in flames, the likelihood of it taking down my others is slim, and I couldn't be more grateful for that. I want to learn so much more about Docker and its supporting software like Kubernetes. Someday I want my rack full of servers, having them all talking to each other and working together. Why? Because I think it's super cool.
