learnwithdevopsengineer3682/devops-homelab-series — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a beginner friendly DevOps home lab companion repo for a YouTube series. I want it to help someone use their own PC or laptop to learn DevOps from zero, with no cloud bill and no prior experience.

Please create clear episode folders and simple guides for hardware setup, installing Linux, filesystem basics, networking basics, setting up a first web server, password recovery, shell scripting, SSH security, Git basics, Jenkins CI and CD, and deploying with Jenkins and NGINX.

Each section should feel like a practical lesson, with plain explanations, commands to run, small checklists, safety notes, and troubleshooting tips. Add a main README that explains the series, links each lesson, reminds people not to share secrets or private keys, and tells the community to open GitHub Issues for mistakes, tips, or questions instead of sending pull requests. Keep everything approachable for home lab learners.
