So my employer got me a business Udemy account and I want to make the most of it. What are good courses there for a home self hoster?
I’ve got a couple Docker for beginners courses.
Would an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner be any useful?
I’m looking into networking as well, so I understand VLANs, routing and firewalls.
I have a decent grasp of Linux fundamentals, but I’m outdated in administration as I haven’t been more than a user for the past 10 years.

Honestly, what most people lack is foundational networking. How a TCP packet is constructed and routed, for example. The difference between routing and switching. How a TCP connection is built and destroyed. Stuff like that. And a basic knowledge of how a DNS request is made and resolved. And DHCP.
Agreed. Any link to good material?
I have this one bookmarked. Haven’t taken it though, has decent reviews: The Ultimate Linux Home Server Course - Learn and improve your Linux skills through building your own home server
Wow, a shoe in!
I would have the same question for LinkedIn Learning
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:
Fewer Letters More Letters DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, automates assignment of IPs when connecting to a network DNS Domain Name Service/System IP Internet Protocol TCP Transmission Control Protocol, most often over IP
3 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 5 acronyms.

There are a heap of general “Linux Administration” courses which will patch a lot of holes in the knowledge of almost all self-taught self hosters. I’d been using Linux for a while but didn’t know you could tab to complete file names in commands till I learned it on Udemy ¯_(ツ)_/¯
