For me it is writting docker compose files describing my services. I like to test them on my machine before pushing them to the server(s). But I guess that’s my own fault for not using something like portainer or even SSHFS.

What’s the most annoying / painful step for you?

    Networking,

    I’m a statistician by degree not a networking guy.

    I don’t know anything other than what an IP address is. Figuring out subnetting, DNS, reverse proxy, VPN stuff.

    I don’t know how secure my current setup is but it works so for now I’m not touching it.

      networking is also my weakest point. literally just last week as i was reading through cisco docs that L2 networking is mac based and thats why switches need ARP tables. i felt so dumb for not realizing this like 10 years ago lol
