Master Linux Server Administration, Security, Networking, Automation, Containers, Virtualization, and Cloud Deployment
Build stronger Linux skills. Manage servers with confidence.
Ubuntu Server is a powerful platform for hosting applications, websites, databases, network services, containers, virtual machines, and cloud workloads. But becoming effective at server administration requires more than memorizing commands. It requires understanding how Linux systems work, how services interact, how resources are managed, and how to troubleshoot problems when things go wrong.
Ubuntu Server in Practice provides a practical and structured guide to the essential skills required to administer modern Ubuntu Server environments.
Starting with installation and initial configuration, this book takes you through user and permission management, software administration, command-line operations, filesystem management, process control, system services, performance monitoring, networking, storage, web services, databases, security, automation, virtualization, containers, and cloud deployment.
You will learn how to:
Configure Ubuntu Server and establish a reliable foundation for server administration.
Manage users, groups, permissions, and privileges while maintaining appropriate access control.
Work confidently from the Linux command line and use essential tools for everyday administration.
Install and manage software packages while handling updates, dependencies, repositories, and system maintenance.
Manage processes and system services using practical Linux administration techniques.
Monitor system resources and identify CPU, memory, storage, and performance problems.
Configure networking and network services including addressing, routing, DNS, and firewall management.
Manage storage and filesystems while understanding partitions, mounts, logical volumes, backups, and recovery.
Deploy web and database services and build reliable application-hosting environments.
Harden Ubuntu Server systems through secure access, firewall configuration, updates, logging, AppArmor, and other defensive practices.
Automate administration using Bash, Ansible, and infrastructure-as-code concepts.
Work with virtualization and containers to create flexible and isolated workloads.
Understand cloud deployment and the role Ubuntu Server plays in modern infrastructure.
Troubleshoot server problems systematically by gathering evidence, analyzing system behavior, identifying causes, and verifying solutions.
The emphasis throughout the book is on understanding, not memorization. Instead of presenting commands without context, the material explains what they do, why they matter, when they should be used, and what administrators should consider before applying them.
Whether you are beginning your Linux administration journey, preparing for professional IT work, developing DevOps skills, or expanding your existing server knowledge, this book provides a practical foundation for working with Ubuntu Server and modern infrastructure.
Learn Linux. Build reliable servers. Secure your infrastructure. Automate your operations.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
