Boston Linux VIRTUAL Meeting, reminder, tomorrow, Wednesday, September 18, 2024 - Steadfast Self-Hosting
Topic: Steadfast Self-Hosting
Speakers: Adam Monsen , CTO , Sunrise Data
Location: Online: https://meet.jit.si/blu.org
We will not be live streaming as the YouTube the live streams have been
failing partway through our meetings. We will be recording the meeting
using Jitsi's recording feature.
Summary:
Hosting Your Software Services At Home
Abstract:
Join in a hands-on workshop all about self-hosting led by Adam. Together
we'll help each other get unblocked wherever we're at, from curious
consideration about standing up a server to adding and improving
smooth-running services. This workshop will focus on fundamental
concepts, tools, and techniques from the FOSS book Steadfast
Self-Hosting, although having and having read the book is not required.
Please visit https://selfhostbook.com/buy/ [selfhostbook.com] to get
your own physical or digital copy of the book. Buying a book is the best
way to show your support. If you're unable to afford a copy,
scholarships are available. As you read the book, you're encouraged to
join in the community chat and forum to get help and share your
improvements with other readers – see https://selfhostbook.com/contact/
[selfhostbook.com] to connect.
Bio:
Adam is a kind and savvy FOSS enthusiast. He's been in tech for over 20
years: building, producing, coding, debugging, architecting, leading,
managing, debugging some more, lecturing, writing, administering and
securing systems and processes, ensuring privacy and compliance; in
markets of all maturities, sizes, and scales; startups to big
enterprise. He's most proud of his family, growing Mifos, founding
SeaGL, selling C-SATS, and writing a FOSS book about self-hosting FOSS.
Adam is privileged and lucky to have given talks and workshops at a
handful of conferences (LFNW, SeaGL, LibrePlanet, OSCON, FOSSY) and
various other engagements.
