Dear Fedi friends,

Sometimes it's good to know when you need to call it a day. Today I ended my #sudo exploits at 10:00am... I'm mentally exhausted already... but happy about the progress I made.

I started tinkering with my new VPS at 7:30am and managed the following tasks:

- installed #fail2ban
- installed #Docker and checked if it was running successfully with their "hello world" method (it does)
- enabled remote access changing the listening port
- secured the connection with TLS

I wasn't able to create a new Docker context on Docker Desktop to point to my VPS... I ran into error messages about having to include certificates (with the right path)... so I decided to call it a day.

I wanted to end my Day 1 of Docker explorations on a good note.

I plan on writing about this on my blog later today so I can refer back to the steps later... when I actually install Docker on my VPS running Ghost.

Onwards and upwards (it's very apt that "sudo" in Italian means "I sweat" LOOOOL)
