Welcome to the official community discussion space for SysAdmin Weekly.
This repository exists to support thoughtful, practitioner-led conversations around the SysAdmin Weekly podcast and newsletter including episode follow-ups, real-world operational questions, tooling discussions, and broader industry topics that matter to people who actually run tech and infrastructure.
When you're ready to starting getting involved in the community, discussions can be found by clicking the Discussions tab. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you review the README below before continuing.
- A place to discuss SysAdmin Weekly podcast episodes
- A forum for real SysAdmin problems and solutions
- A space for tooling, workflows, and operational lessons learned
- A way to suggest future podcast and newsletter topics
Discussions are hosted using GitHub Discussions to keep things low-barrier-to-entry, asynchronous, searchable, and grounded in real-world experience.
- Vendor support forum
- Marketing pitch threads
- Homework help
- A replacement for Stack Overflow
- A Discord-style firehose of half-baked takes
There are plenty of places on the internet for those things. This is not one of them.
- Be respectful and professional
- Assume good intent
- Share real experience where possible
- Disagree constructively. SysAdmins are allowed to have opinions
If you’re posting a question, provide enough context for others to actually help you.
If you’re sharing a solution, details are appreciated.
Discussions are organized into categories such as:
- Announcements – New episodes, newsletter releases, and updates
- Podcast Discussion – Per-episode follow-ups and commentary
- SysAdmin Questions (Q&A) – Real-world admin challenges
- Tools & Techniques – Homelabs, scripts, workflows, and configs
- Topic Requests – Ideas for future episodes or deep dives
- Industry Talk – Broader trends and reality checks
Pick the category that best fits your post. It helps keep things usable (and searchable) over time.
Moderation decisions are made by the SysAdmin Weekly team to keep discussions constructive and practitioner-focused.
NOTE: Links are shared by community members. While we'd like to believe no malicious link-drops will happen and that GitHub's built-in link scanning will catch everything, please use normal professional judgment before clicking or running anything, just like you would with any other code repository.
