Ubuntu Server Administration in Practice: Manage Services, Networking, Storage, and Real-World Server Workloads

By CYRAN DEVEREUX

Knowing the basics is one thing running real servers is another.

This book takes you beyond fundamentals and into the reality of system administration, where performance, reliability, and problem-solving matter.

Focused on practical, real-world operations, this guide shows you how Ubuntu Server is used in production environments where systems must stay online, secure, and efficient.

Inside, you will learn how to:

- Manage users, permissions, and secure access at scale
- Configure and control system services using systemd
- Monitor performance and optimize system resources
- Set up and manage web servers and file-sharing services
- Design and manage storage systems using LVM and disk strategies
- Implement logging, monitoring, and backup solutions
- Automate routine tasks using Bash scripting and Ansible
- Troubleshoot real-world issues with confidence

This is not a beginner's guide it is a hands-on operational manual built from real system administration experience.

By the end of this book, you will be capable of managing Ubuntu servers in production-like environments and handling the challenges that come with them.

If you want to move from "learning Linux" to actually running systems, this is the book that gets you there.
