Welcome to PhenixOps!
Introduction
Right now i am in the process of creating this wiki to document solutions i have engineered at work or projects i did just for fun.
I am an experienced Linux engineer with a solid background on operating applications and websites on the Internet. I work with everything between Arduino and a Supercomputer. I have a strong operational focus combined with a curiosity for open source and the Internet in general.
Linux has always been a good friend and it is my workhorse since long time. The open character of Linux has attracted my attention early on in my career and Linux has grown itself along with my experience. My knowledge has built up working with Linux and Unix in a large number of companies. From projects to daily operations, usually in a 24/7 perspective.
Seeing i am a kind of a generalist, my knowledge spans from the physical cable to the frontend. This wiki itself is a showcase of my work, not just the content but also the platform it is running on itself. The green lock in the address bar and the backups late at night. Firewalling and networking to make maximum use of resources to use them online, big or small, even from my backyard.
I have worked in all kinds of environments, from hackerspace to corporate including national tv , fortune 500 companies and research facilities.
Today, I run my own infrastructure, my own code and my own security based on Open Source software. I give back to the community by documenting my solutions and experiences. This way another person can benefit from something i learned myself, after being shared by someone else.
My knowledge will soon be available on a professional basis, if you run a small business and need some help on your website or Internet presence we can work something out.
Just send an e-mail to tech@phenixops.net
Fun Projects
Besides my infrastructure i am working on some projects on Raspberry Pi and Arduino Linux RTL-SDR projects with a DVB stick, follow that here:
My flightradar page can be found following the link, it is operating from a Raspberry Pi in my backyard: http://radar.phenixzine.net:8080/
This was built using the descriptions here:
Why good System Administration is important
When Websites are created, either from scratch or build with software like Wordpress, on the background you need a database providing you with business logic. All being backed up and kept updated. A weekly task often neglected but typically something i can take responsibility for.
Getting good scores and green lights in browser windows also provides good security and ensuring customers are reached from your communication, something where a free website and domain often is limited.
Check my website's status, i am able to show you the results of my work: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=phenixops.net
Besides the technical also documentation and the organization of information is important to create structure. This includes concerns release management and project management. Making sure customer needs are met in time and according to specifications.
Online Security
I like things to run save and secure while remaining available and being monitored. I use Open Source tools to create my platforms and share my experiences here. This also makes a lot possible on a small budget for your business or project.
In this time and age privacy and security is becoming more important, we all want our data to be safe. I am able to provide advise on how to create that with the use of tools and the right mindset.
Free Tips and Tricks
I like to structure information and provide tips and tricks on system administration, basically i share a part of my documentation here:
Most of the topics are based on Debian Linux and bash scripting.
