What is iximiuz Labs? iximiuz Labs (a.k.a. ServerLabs[.]io) is a learning-by-doing platform for mastering server-side skills: Linux, networking, containers, Kubernetes, and everything in between. Instead of passively watching YouTube tutorials or reading dry theory, on iximiuz Labs, you learn by doing. Our Playgrounds are fast-booting Linux microVMs that run on a fleet of large bare-metal servers. You can start a playground right from your browser or via a handy CLI tool called labctl. Once up and running, accessing a playground is no different from SSH-ing into a remote server rented from your favorite VPS or Cloud provider. Install software, break things, debug, rebuild, try multi-VM, multi-network, multi-disk setups, and then throw the environment away (or keep it around to restart the next day). On top of Playgrounds, iximiuz Labs offers a growing collection of learning materials that give you structure and feedback: - Challenges: bite-sized, realistic, hands-on problems with solution auto-checking and hints - Tutorials: deep, illustrated articles with reproducible steps and attached Playgrounds - Courses: guided sequences that combine lessons with hands-on completion criteria - Skill Paths: focused learning paths to acquire or hone specific skills or technologies The ultimate goal is simple: learn the fundamentals by doing - with enough realism to transfer to the job, and enough safety to experiment freely. iximiuz Labs has just crossed the 50,000 registered users mark, and our Discord learning group is getting more and more helpful. We had our community call last week, and the next one is scheduled for today. Come join us - it'll be fun!

This is your periodic reminder that dozens of refined Linux, Containers, Kubernetes, and Networking playgrounds are just a short link away: - serverlabs[.]io/p/k8s - serverlabs[.]io/p/docker - serverlabs[.]io/p/ubuntu - serverlabs[.]io/p/flexbox Learning by doing is the way 🚀

iximiuz Labs has just gotten a few handy aliases: - serverlabs[.]io/p/docker - serverlabs[.]dev/p/docker Works for all playgrounds, of course.

I love OpsKata! I own serverlabs.io, and there is a plan to rename iximiuz Labs into ServerLabs. But the amount of dull work needed for it to actually happen is terrifying.

The best kind of marketing 💙 By the way, you can call the platform ServerLabs[.]io when talking about it with your friends.
