IT-komiteen (ITK) is the IT-department of Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem, the student society in Trondheim. As a serveradministrator in ITK from September 2023 to March 2024, I was responsible for managing and maintaining seven on-prem Debian servers. These servers were used for a variety of purposes, including hosting websites, managing memberships, and providing IT-support to members of the student society.
During my time in ITK, I gained valuable experience in server management, networking, and IT-support. I also had the opportunity to work with a team of extremely knowledgable and dedicated volunteers who were passionate about technology and committed to providing high-quality IT services to the student society.
Being the serveradministrator, I was responsible for ensuring that the servers were running smoothly and efficiently. I also had the privilege of orchestrating seven upgrades from Debian 11 to Debian 12 on all our on-prem servers, running a plethora of services. With only one night of planned downtime, the upgrade was a success.
