**Tunnel and Fortress**
Tunnel and Fortress is a live, coached and intensive training series empowering participants to become capable, creative, confident and diligent system administrators in the deployment and maintenance of secured, community-facing, self-hosted and sovereign server infrastructure. 


The training is in two sections, *Tunnel* and *Fortress*. The completion of each results in a fully functional server on the public Internet under the full control of the participant, ready to be used in service to their community.



Alternatives to a 'BigTech' stack are deployed, including high reputation webmail, high performance collaborative document editing and a powerful cloud service - all capable of hosting hundreds of accounts.



At the close of the training, students will be able to deploy powerful and sophisticated servers, employing best-practice, battle-tested information and operational security strategies and techniques. Alongside, they will learn skills, tips and tricks coveted by senior sysadmins at the highest level of their craft.  



Skills learned are as applicable to 'on-premises' self-hosting deployment contexts as they are on rack servers at datacenters. As such the training equally serves as a collection of valuable life skills ready to be taken into employment.
