Got Nexus Repo set up in the homelab. This has been on my todo list for a minute , but I just never had the time to do it.

Document that process, error, or whatever while it’s fresh. The longer you wait, the less likely you are to ever do it.

Dear Tech Tutorial Platforms,

If your labs provide the users with the exact commands to copy and paste every step of the way, is any learning actually happening?

Day 22 takeaway:

Right user + right location + right command + zero unnecessary changes.

That's good DevOps.

“Do it without changing anything else.”

That was the real lesson from Day 22 of the #100DaysOfDevOps challenge.

Here’s how I cloned a Git repository safely on a Linux Storage Server. 🧵
