I already know software engineering and can code web applications and use genai sdk in my apps.

But I still can't easily figure out to deploy my apps to a VPS.

So far I have manually set up my server and database.

I want learn more on devops to deploy it using containers.

This will enable me to host mutiple service in a VPS and I don't have to use PAAS solutions.

I can also easily switch providers too.

My experience is you can learn this between dev tasks. Find a way to automate deployment (I did ansible)and monitor(eabbix or grafana). Plan, say, half an hout weekly time to review monitoring and logs. Also handle crashes and severe errors in a systemic way, automating them away. Do this for a few months and you've learned devops.

I use CapRover with Hetzner, and it's been a breeze - half a day max. Don't remember the last time I deployed one of my services on managed infra.
