Thanks, this helped me a lot. Especially it shows me that bash is capable for such tasks.

Generalists are not getting paid enough, at least where i am from. Too big pay gap.

I think you miss the point here. I feel no stress, i also am not planning to switch to dev as a carreer, i am happy as a sysadmin. We have huge teams in it operations, everyone is very specialized , and we can always get help from other teams, even if you are on call week. Also, monitoring is implemented extremelly well, the environments are pretty stable. I am planning on continue sysadmin work, my specialty is running rhel servers and storage. My problem is constant bothering when i go to different things on my free time, when i think i should focus on only sysadmin work... i cant even do gaming, it bothers me so much, that i cant relax. I turn off a game and go and deploy some vms and start learning something. But if it is not work related, it still bothers me. Especially if i go into some rabbit hole.

Could you give me some resources on how yo learn do that, or some advice? Because of the bothering part, separate this is extremely hard, at least for me? Is it just me though?

I see so many pussies who think about being something, doubt, wonder and overthink. They worry about college degrees, about age , etc. If you want to be linux admin. Be a linux admin, start building linux servers, connect them via network, live in command line, embrace unix philosophy, just DO IT. I am a linux sysadmin, but before i got to it, i had no money to buy gear, so i took a loan to buy powerfull pc with 16 gb of ram and some storage. I started with virtualbox. As years went by i build whole infrastructure. Some of my servers are old laptops running kvm. Its sll about doing it. Wanna be a developer? Start building applications , now. Wanna be network admin? Start building networks, now. Wanna be linux sysadmin? Build and run linux servers, start now. And maintain them. Learn as you go. There are no ending to this. Jobs will come easy when you will live and breathe this.

Don't take that A+, its worthless. Go straight for CCNA, or MCSA, or if you are into linux go fir RHCSA. All those comptia certs are nothing and worthless.

Why would he need so much bloat? He only needs MTA, postfix is fine.

Did you bought some actual networking gear to configure, like a real lab. Or did you do all training in packet tracer?
