Hi, I'm David Tio

Welcome to FOSSTECH NOTES — my collection of Linux and DevOps tutorials based on real-world experience.


What You'll Find Here

This blog covers practical guides for:

  • Linux System Administration — LVM, storage, networking, security
  • DevOps Tools — Docker, Kubernetes, Podman, CI/CD
  • Logging & Monitoring — Syslog-ng, log visualization, troubleshooting
  • Infrastructure — LDAP, Active Directory integration, automation

All tutorials are tested in production environments — no theory without practice.


About Me

I'm a Linux/DevOps engineer and Technical Manager at Transcend Solutions Pte Ltd in Singapore with 5+ years of hands-on experience:

  • Training engineers on Docker and containerization
  • Advising on production infrastructure architecture
  • Rolling out container solutions in real environments

I wrote the book I wished existed when I started — practical, concise, and straight to the point.
