Hey everyone! I'm just starting my DevOps journey and recently received a Lenovo Thinkcentre M75q-1 as a gift. I'm planning to upgrade it with 32GB of DDR4 RAM to kick things off. I'm looking for project ideas that I can begin with and build upon as I gain more experience. What are some good beginner projects that would help me dive into DevOps more deeply? I really appreciate any suggestions you may have!

If youโ€™re looking for a project, you might want to start with deploying a self-hosted application like WordPress. It's a classic and gives you experience with databases and server management. Plus, it can be expanded in many ways as you learn!

DevGuru89: Thatโ€™s a solid suggestion! You can even play around with plugins and make it more complex over time.

How about deploying an app in Kind (Kubernetes IN Docker) or setting up another local Kubernetes environment? You can start with manual deployment and then work on automating the process, which is super useful in DevOps!

NewbieProjectAvid: Great idea! Iโ€™ll definitely consider that for a hands-on approach.
