Ubuntu Server
Like the name suggests, this community is based on the Linux operating system (unofficial) Ubuntu Server. We share ideas and resources, provide support and maybe have a little fun along the way. Please post/send suggestions for new topics to the mods. Have a great day!
Ubuntu Server Edition FAQ page
Its ease of use, ability to customise and capacity to run on a wide range of hardware makes Ubuntu the most popular server choice of the cloud age. This FAQs page provides answers to technical questions.
The Ubuntu Server Guide is available on the official Ubuntu Page. For convenience we have put a shortcut on here. Please check it if you need help with initial setup.
The Awesome Selfhosted Project is a community sourced github-page which contains tons of useful information and ideas for projects for Linux Servers (and therefore Ubuntu as well).

Why Ubuntu Server? What about Debian as a server?
From my perspective and experience: Debian was always up to date with security fixes but rather late with feature / package updates. Compared to Ubuntu, it is a rather conservative approach. But nowadays when running applications with Docker, this shouldn't be much of a hassle anywhere. Containers are the great equaliser on any host.
Interesting question. From that perspective someone could ask „Why not windows Server?“
Because ubuntu server is a frequently used distro that has its own issues and support is generally appreciated by people. As I wrote, there is an active subreddit which this is supposed to be a mirror of.
Feel free to make a debian server community. Or have I missed your point?
