I just picked up your book on Amazon. Once I have a bit of time with it, I'll be happy to write a review.

Thanks for this great video on Landscape. Well explained and demonstrated. I'm going to set up my free 10 (now 5) home licenses and this video should be all I need to become proficient with Landscape.

Thanks Jay for another great Video. Just bought your new Book. Can't wait to work with it. Cheers from Switzerland!

Thanks for the informative videos everyday. Keep'em coming. Also a very happy new year.

Great video. I pre-ordered your "Mastering Ubuntu Servers, " 3rd ed., and it came in a couple days ago. Looking forward to diving into it. Thanks so much for your awesome content.

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm going to set this up in our dev environment of VMs (on proxmox)
A couple suggestions.
Demo the product before the install tutorial. We don't get to see what it does until 21:00
ALWAYS call the clients "clients" and the server "server" -- much less confusing that way.

Great video. You make it look easy. I will try Landscape soon. Thank you.

[karthikchinta]

What a perfect explanation, thats really nice .

All that effort to hide your email address, and then firefox offers to save your password and shows it anyway. :/

Are you making an updated 24.04 server book or should I get the one for 22.04?

[SyberPrepper]

Great video. Thanks for alll the detail. Will Landscape work with Pop-Os?

[imppaco]

Nice, but when are they going to add preseed/provisioning?

Hello, I am confused between netdata, zabbix and Landscape to monitor my servers, some advice! Thank you.

[DaveSomething]

nice... think I'll stick with webmin, it works well enough. I still use CLI, but the owner likes to look in on things to make herself feel useful, I guess.

Is there a way you can make a tutorial on how to make an appimage ? Please

[jessegodsey]

So, I am extremely curious. What distro do you run as your daily driver for your desktop? Do you primarily run Ubuntu on your server environment as well ?

[annihilatorg]

Thanks for the video. It's rather odd how difficult it is to get landscape client setup with a certificate. You'd think the setup app could prompt you to accept the cert. I have a small landscape server at work mostly as POC and one at home. Once it's setup, it just plugs along happily.

[stephenskaines-yk]

Is there a way to do this without a GUI?

[bucharles]

Hi, thanks for this tutorial. I was wondering, is Landscape free if you are installing on prem or is it a subscription based server management tool

[koushik]

Please make a video on setting up kde neon 🙏
