About the author

Based in Michigan, Jay LaCroix is an educator and technologist, specializing in Linux. After a successful tech career, Jay recently stepped away from corporate IT in order to launch his own company, LearnLinuxTV.

In addition, Jay also writes books on Linux, with this one being a recent example.

I would like to thank all of my readers and subscribers for making all of this possible. Its an amazing honor that youve chosen me to lead you on your Linux journey! Also thanks to Tom Lawrence for encouraging me and giving me lots of advice. Last (but by no means least), thanks to my partner Alan, my sons, and all of my family and friends.

About the reviewers

Paride Legovini is a core Ubuntu developer, a Debian developer, and currently an Ubuntu Server software engineer at Canonical. He does packaging, Quality Assurance, and maintains the testing and continuous integration infrastructure of team-developed projects, like cloud-init and the Ubuntu Advantage tools, which includes automated integration testing done on all the major clouds. He has also joined the release engineering team for all the new Ubuntu releases since 2019, being responsible for the quality of Ubuntu Server.

His professional past is in academia, with an MSc in Physics, a Ph.D. in Geophysics, and his professional roles often been at the intersection between science and IT in different research institutions.

He spent 2014 in Antarctica, where he was in charge of maintenance and data acquisition, storage, backup, and transmission for several international scientific projects at the Concordia research station during the polar winter. The role leveraged Parides all-around tinkerer nature, sometimes requiring operating a power tool, a soldering iron, and a Unix shell, not necessarily in that order.

I would like to thank the Debian project for giving the world a universal operating system for anybody to run, study, modify, and share. Debian realized the promise that free software would empower people, and has had a significant impact on my life and career. Thanks also to Canonical for popularizing GNU/Linux and for allowing me to participate in this review, to Jay LaCroix for turning what is clearly genuine passion into such an enjoyable book, and to Packt for inviting me to be a reviewer.

Mario Splivalos amazement with computers started back when Commodore 64 dominated the user-space. He took his first steps using BASIC on his dads Commodore 64 before quickly shifting to assembler. He gradually moved to PCs where he discovered a great love for programming, systems design, and database administration. He switched to Linux (Knoppix, then Ubuntu) in the early 2000s and never looked back. He continued as a database administrator, programmer, and system administrator.

Mario spent five years with Canonical working mainly as an OpenStack engineer. It was a great experience that helped Mario to see how Ubuntu is created from the inside, and participate in its development.

Currently, Mario works as a consultant dealing with databases extending into modern cloud-based architectures.

Preface

Linux is an exciting platform. You can literally find it everywheredesktops, laptops, phones, embedded appliances, and especially servers. Linux servers power many famous technologies around the world, and have a massive presence in physical and cloud server environments. Linux servers are scalable, stable, and powerful.

Way back in 1991, a computer science student in Finland, named Linus Torvalds, created a kernel as a school project. He created the Linux kernel. And little did he know at the time, Linux would see us through some of the most exciting innovations in infrastructure design. Things like multicore processors, virtualization, containerization, and cloud computing (to name a few) have transformed data centers all over the world. And Linux has been a part of all of those advancements.

Ubuntu, a popular distribution of Linux, has been a major driving force in the adoption of Linux. Ever since its first release back in 2004, Ubuntu has made Linux more approachable for newcomers, while simultaneously offering powerful features to server administrators. Ubuntu can be found on notebooks and workstations, in addition to servers.

Ubuntu Server enables administrators to create efficient, flexible, and highly available servers that empower organizations with the power of open source. As Ubuntu administrators, were in good companyaccording to W3Techs, Ubuntu is the most widely deployed distribution on the web with regard to Linux. With the release of Ubuntu 22.04, this platform becomes even more exciting!

In this book, we will dive right into Ubuntu Server, and you will learn all the concepts needed to manage your servers and configure them to perform all kinds of neat tasks, such as serving web pages, managing virtual machines, running containers, automating configuration, sharing files with other users, and even running Ubuntu in the cloud.
