Title: Earlier today I read an article on the decline of proper sysadmins in the age of containers. I thought I was doing a decent job of being a sysadmin+developer at the place I work but looking at the problems containers can cause I couldn&#x27;t help wonder how one should go about becoming a decent sysadmin.<p>Main scenario is the one where you as an individual might on your own (or with a couple of friends) start some tiny sass product, or build an open source product that you want to keep secure.<p>At the most basic level, when firing up a new server I follow the how to harden your server guides and install fail2ban, disable root login, enable ssh only login etc.<p>Things I don&#x27;t fully understand, user permissions or rather, how to use permissions to ensure good security. I&#x27;m also unsure about logging. I&#x27;m essentially clueless about where to look to understand what goes into being a good sysadmin.<p>Any advice would be awesome. Thanks.
