admin-tasks

This is a patchwork of sys-admin stuff that have served me well over the years. I've been doing automating systems for almost 30 years and for some reason I have to look this stuff up - every single time 😑

So, I'm constantly looking up some of the most valuable tools in the tool belt. Maybe it's time to share/purge them?

This repo is a collection of those commands/tools/techniques.

If you're looking to become a more powerful sys-admin, this is the bulk of what you'll need. I can move mountains with Vim, Bash and OpenSSH. Alternately, if you're looking level-up your DevOps skills, there probably isn't a lot of value here.


The Main Sections are:


These things are deteriorating in usefulness every year; the new tools require less and less of this stuff. Personally, I'll be happy when these things are no longer required at all. But, until then...

These are ONLY the useful commands; the stuff I can't live without. I hope they work as well for you as the do for me.

Cheers!
