week 1:

orientation + first taste of linux and servers. super hands-on week.

  • spun up my first digitalocean droplet running centos stream 9.
  • ran cat /etc/centos-release to check the os — kinda cool.
  • generated ssh keys to get into the box securely.
  • deployed this flask site straight onto the vps.
  • used tmux so flask keeps running after i log out.
  • pointed a duckdns domain at the server's ip.
  • deploy off a branch so main stays clean for friends to fork.
