Admin Training & Workshops
Your team operates systems it doesn’t fully understand. That’s not a failure — that’s the business model.
Proprietary software thrives on the vendor knowing more about the product than the customer. GUIs abstract, source code stays closed, documentation ends at the surface. The team clicks. It doesn’t understand what happens behind the scenes.
Open Code, Same Gap
Switching to Open Source changes the rules — but not automatically. The code is open. The mechanisms are visible. But visible doesn’t mean understood.
Without targeted workshops, Open Source remains an infrastructure your team understands no better than the proprietary one before. Just differently licensed. And just as dependent — on the next external contractor instead of the vendor.
Sovereignty Is a Question of Competence
Digital sovereignty is not just a question of infrastructure. It’s a question of competence.
Training courses convey knowledge. Workshops build experience and confidence. The difference: after a training course, your admin knows what a container is. After a workshop, they’ve built one, operated it, and fixed it.
How We Work
Gradually, not all at once. Nobody gets thrown in at the deep end. We plan together which systems will be migrated when, and train your team alongside ongoing operations. Each wave builds new skills without overwhelming the daily routine.
Your infrastructure, not our practice environment. Our workshops use real scenarios from your operations. Setting up servers, building pipelines, automating deployments. What works in the workshop works the next day in production.
Security without black boxes. Open Source means transparency — including for security. Auditable configurations, traceable decisions, documented processes. Your team learns to secure systems it actually understands.
Topics
Linux Fundamentals
Filesystem, permissions, services, package management. The foundation for everything else — systematically structured, with room for questions.
Shell & Scripting
Bash, text processing, automating routine tasks. Small scripts, big impact — reproducible instead of manual.
GitLab & CI/CD
Version control, pipelines, automated tests and deployments. From your first pipeline to production-ready automation.
Ansible
Infrastructure as Code without a programming language. Configure servers consistently, changes documented and repeatable.
Containers & Docker
Isolate applications, make them portable, deploy uniformly. Understand, build, and securely operate containers.
Security & Hardening
Secure Linux servers, configure firewalls, automate updates. Security as a process, not a product.
Monitoring & Alerting
Open Source monitoring with the MAT approach (Metrics, Alerting, Trending — trend analysis for proactive capacity planning). Smart alerting with business intelligence instead of alert fatigue. Auto-repair for known failure patterns.
For Decision Makers
Training sounds like a cost item. Operational capability is one.
- Every day without in-house competence costs — in external consulting fees, in downtime, in decisions others make for you
- Gradual migration reduces downtime risks — your team learns alongside ongoing operations
- Confidence is measurable — after the workshop, your team can securely operate systems day to day, not just use them
- No hidden follow-up costs — vendor-independent knowledge remains relevant through the next technology shift
For Your IT Team
New tools mean new possibilities. We know that the transition takes time and we respect the experience your team brings. Our workshops build on existing knowledge and expand it systematically — without pressure, with clear learning goals and practical exercises.
Questions are welcome. So is skepticism. Both are part of the learning process.
And when a situation goes beyond the workshop — we remain your point of contact. Not as a dependency, but as a safety net.
