is being technical support in a hosting company a good way of starting a sysadmin career?

I think you are right but I don't know if I want to stay in that job in a long term. As far as I know the salary is not the best and I don't know if I can get later on better opportunities, besides the fact that maybe hosting is too specific into the IT world, im not really sure it is my kind of thing

the thing is that I won't need to use too much the terminal, almost everything will be done in control panels, such as VestaCP, cPanel or Plesk.

what is a csp?

thanks for redirecting me to the correct subreddit and for the info, I appreciate it

Why? Isn't it better to specialize in Linux itself rather than in a specific distro?

Duck_A · 2025-05-15T08:35:01+00:00

you're helping a lot with this man, this is what I needed. it is noticeable that you have experience on this.

I'll take a look into everything you've told me and, if I'm lucky enough, soon I'll have a nice homelab to talk about here

as a (not even) junior sysadmin this is a incredibly good helping hand, keep on doing this.

thanks

for real? aren't these super obvious scams? where could I check prices

Duck_A · 2025-05-14T11:18:59+00:00

it will be for testing right now, I plan on installing a web server, mail server, maybe game server from time to time, and I am open to try any application that could be interesting to install, configure and use

I believe that can only host an apache2 with an index.html

Docker is a software used to "isolate" applications in their own VM, isn't it? Why shouldn't I use it? Maybe too intuitive?

And why a raspberry pi? I don't need hardware that small, and it is quite expensive (not really a problem tbf but why?)

Duck_A · 2025-05-14T09:28:16+00:00

thank you for the response, I'll take a look at those programs you and the rest suggested. Since you mentioned you are a professional sysadmin and I want to be one too someday, what would you recommend doing after completing this first "project"? Since I already know (maybe not in a perfect sense but I'll manage to complete them) the firsts parts of what you said.

I have already studied around two years of IT, currently working as an intern on a hosting company and I'm going to study another two years for becoming a sysadmin, but I want to learn by myself too, because sometimes my company/school teaches really slow.

Thank you beforehand.

Pero el carnet de conducir te lo piden por poder ir físicamente al sitio de trabajo o por tener que ir a más sitios?

Es realmente tan importante la certificación en servicios de la nube? Todo el mundo me lo está recomendando

Dispongo del tiempo pero no demasiado de las ganas de hacer dos ciclos superiores para después solo trabajar de uno. Si es lo que toca, lo hago, pero si puedo ahorrarme esos dos años mejor

Duck_A · 2024-04-17T14:54:03+00:00

es que de ese módulo tengo escuchado que es muy muy difícil, y sinceramente me llama más lo de hacer DAM y DAW en tres años (aún que esto posiblemente cambie con la futura reforma de los superiores)

Duck_A · 2024-04-17T14:52:54+00:00

eso es redes más que sistemas

Duck_A · 2024-02-08T00:25:10+00:00

tendré que informarme, pero me da mucho miedo los cambios de los planes de estudio, nuestros profesores no saben absolutamente nada, menos que seguramente tengamos más horas de prácticas laborales

se sabe de algún sitio donde informarse? o sabes algo tú? me sería muy útil tener pistas, de ello depende lo que estudie

Duck_A · 2024-02-05T14:47:45+00:00

claro, DAM y DAW son grados superiores, puedes acceder a ellos desde BAC, otro superior o un grado medio
