[ 05 / VIRTUALIZATION & CONTAINERS ]
Virtualization & Containers
Your own virtualized lab running containerised services you can rebuild from scratch.
This is for you if
- You have run docker run once and want to know what actually happened.
- You want a home lab you can experiment in without fear.
It is not, if
- You need a managed platform to just work. This is about owning the machine.
The ladder
In order. Each one assumes the one before it, and each one ends in something that runs.
The courses on this track are being written. The curriculum is set — you can read it in the implementation notes — but nothing here is open for enrolment yet, and we would rather show you an empty shelf than a course that is not finished.
See what is openWhat you need
All of it, stated up front — including the parts that cost money.
- A machine with 8 GB of RAM and 40 GB free, or a VPS.
- Linux or macOS. Windows works through WSL2.
We also do this for a living
This track teaches what our own engineers do on client work. If you would rather we built it than taught you, that service is on the main site.

The first course of every track is the one that decides whether the rest is for you. Read its first lesson before you sign up for anything.
