Hi! My name is Datcu Andrei, born on 3rd of May 2002 and I am a Linux System Administrator. I like to call myself a Linux enthusiast since I spend most of my time researching anything about the kernel and doing Linux-related tasks. Also since my work relies on Linux. I started using Linux randomly in 2012 or so by searching for a lightweight alternative to Windows for my grandfather's laptop and haven't stopped using Linux ever since.Don't you refer to GNU/Linux?, you might ask yourself. Yes, I refer to GNU/Linux, more specifically I started with Ubuntu. I used Linux on and off, mostly dual booting, but since 2019 I've been using Linux only.
I've been through quite a lot of distributions: Debian-based, Arch Linux-based, heck, I've compiled and installed Gentoo for the first time on my main machine, but now I am slowly diving into other UNIX certified and UNIX-like operating systems such as AIX, Solaris and BSD-variants.
What do I mainly work with?
Linux, of course 🙂.
Leaving jokes aside, I have experience in many tools and fields:
- Nagios Core
- Wordpress
- TYPO3
- WHM/cPanel
- NGINX
- Httpd (Apache Web Server)
- Traefik
- Proxmox VE
- Proxmox BS
- MySQL
- Greenbone Security Assistant
- Grafana
- Prometheus
- Ansible
- Docker & Docker Swarm
- OpenLDAP
- NFS
- Samba
- Git (Gitlab, Gitea)
- AWS
- Selfhosted Bitwarden & Vaultwarden server
- Automated backup solutions
- Automated tasks (shell-scripting, crons, etc)
- Hosting cloud storage solutions
- Log rotation
- Kernel upgrades, custom updated kernels for EOL distributions
- VPN servers
You can see some applied in my experience page. Learning new tools is not something hard for me, as I am a quick learner, and through experience and gut-feeling, I can even learn things as I go.
