Parent Hub: Building My DevOps Skills in Public – Master DevOps Board
This epic focuses on building Linux fundamentals required for DevOps work.
Linux is treated here as an operational tool, not an academic subject.
Epic Objective
By the end of this epic, I should be able to:
- confidently navigate Linux systems
- understand and manage permissions safely
- debug basic system-level issues
- operate comfortably inside servers, containers, and CI environments
Scope Definition (Lean Filter)
Included:
- Filesystem & navigation
- Permissions & ownership
- Processes & services (systemd basics)
- Logs & troubleshooting essentials
Excluded (for now):
- Kernel internals
- Legacy admin workflows
- Deep filesystem theory
- Topics not required for DevOps operations

Learning & Execution Model
Each work card follows a fixed cycle:
- Identify minimum required commands
- Practice in a live Linux environment
- Record a short demo (≤ 5 minutes)
- Write a focused blog post
- Update this epic dashboard
- Move Trello card forward
This comes after the Filesystem & Navigation work card, which was already posted.
DevOps Relevance
Linux skills from this epic directly support:
- container runtime behavior
- CI/CD job execution
- cloud VM management
- log-based debugging
- permission issues in pipelines
Linux is not learnt in isolation — it is revisited as new tools are added.
Progress Notes
- Earlier topics may be revisited after Docker or CI/CD exposure
- Completion means operational comfort, not theoretical mastery
- This epic remains a living document

➡ Permissions & Ownership
Focus: understanding access control without breaking systems.
Linux for DevOps is about control, observability, and confidence — not memorization.
