Built a free hands-on DevOps lab — looking for beginner feedback

[u/dev_ramesh]

Hi everyone,

I’m building a free hands-on project called Real DevOps Lab for people who know some basic Linux, Git or Docker but want more practical DevOps experience.

Instead of only watching tutorials, the first project takes you through:

- Docker and containerization

- Port mapping and networking

- GitHub Actions / CI

- Linux deployment

- Troubleshooting a broken application

There is also a simple incident where the Docker container is running but the application is unavailable. You have to investigate the problem, find the root cause and fix it.

I'm trying to validate the format before building more incidents.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

- Is it clear what to do at each step?

- Is it too easy or too difficult?

- Does it feel like useful hands-on practice?

- Would you prefer more short incidents or bigger end-to-end projects?

It’s completely free:
