What you will gain after the course

  • After connecting to the server, explore files, view logs, and check the status of processes, memory, and disks.

  • Editing files and safe exiting with the vi editor, understanding permissions, and basic operations

  • Independently perform practical server inspection routines with 21 commands

Course Introduction

White text on a black screen. Only the cursor is blinking.

This is where many people stop. They don't know what to type, they're afraid they might break the server if they type something wrong, and above all, they don't understand why it's so unfriendly.

I was the same way at first. There were times when I couldn't figure out how to exit the vi editor and had to force the window closed.

However, this isn't because it's unfriendly. It's because this is more efficient.

Let's say you have to perform the same task on a hundred servers. You can't click a mouse a hundred times. It's something that can be finished with a single line of command. Furthermore, a record of exactly what was done remains, allowing you to trace it if a failure occurs later.

There are twenty-one commands covered in this lecture. It may seem like a lot, but most are three letters or fewer, and there's no need to memorize them. You can just keep the materials nearby and look them up as you use them.

With these twenty-one commands, you can access the server and understand its current status. You can open logs to find errors, check how full the disk is, and verify if programs are running.

If you drew a map in step 1, from here on, you will walk the path yourself.


We created this for people like you.

  • Non-major job seekers — Feeling overwhelmed just by hearing the word Linux

  • New Operations Manager — I've connected to the server, but I don't know what I should be looking at.

  • Aspiring Developers — who have to ask others to check logs every time

  • Certification candidates — I can't get a sense of it just by looking at the theory

After completing this course

  • You can connect to the server and check where you are and what is there.

  • You can open log files and find only the parts you need.

  • You can check the status of processes, memory, and disks using commands.

  • You can read file permissions and safely exit after opening a file with vi.

Hello, I'm Frank.

I am an infrastructure engineer who has been wrestling with servers for over 20 years. Starting with Linux server operations, I am now in charge of the cloud infrastructure for a large-scale payment service. My daily life involves migrating from data centers to AWS, managing hundreds of instances, and tracing the causes of failures in the early hours of the morning.

The reason I created this course is simple.

I often received questions like these from those around me: "I managed to connect to the server, but I don't know what to do next." "There are so many instance types; which one should I choose?" These are the exact same points where I got stuck at first. However, when I looked for resources, I found that most of them were written for people who already knew what they were doing.

So I decided to create the course I wish I had when I first started learning.

My lectures are based on three principles.

First, I help you understand rather than memorize. Instead of just listing commands, I explain why we use them in the first place.

Second, I boldly omit unnecessary content. I do not increase the volume by including information that is useless to beginners right now.

Third, I also talk about what doesn't work. Instead of just listing the pros, I clearly point out cases where it might not be a good fit. For someone who has to make decisions in the field, that is more important.

If you feel a sense of "Ah, I should start from here" after listening to the lecture, then my goal has been achieved.

Please feel free to leave any questions you may have at any time.
