This book will help you independently master the full cycle of creating your own dedicated server: from installing the operating system (for convenience, this will be Unix) on the server to configuration and administration.

It will be described in detail: how to perform the initial setup servers; how to use the command line; you will learn how to configure server network interfaces; Let's talk about routing and firewall configuration; how to use remote login via ssh; how to install an FTP file server; what is a DHCP server and how to connect to the Windows infrastructure; how to increase server performance and much more.

Special attention will be paid to ensuring the security of your server: local security, protection against network attacks, data encryption, protection of network services, etc.

Setting up a web server and its administration will also be discussed: connecting an SSL certificate, selecting and installing a server control panel; setting up mail on a web server, etc. Separately, we will tell you how to create your own zoom - video conferencing server!
