This is too big of a subject to be addressed at hacker news. Just do your research on the web. Honestly, you will probably get as much misinformation here as you will get anywhere. It also depends on what your goals are.
You are seriously limited by 10kg dumbells and if you lack space then your only option for a real free weight workout is to get a membership to a gym. Even if you could fit in a bench and more weights, you should also have access to a squat rack which you certainly wouldn't have room for.
Start out with the most basic free weight exercises for each of the major muscle groups and then go from there. Also, start out with just the bar or some small weights to get the form correct. If you don't have experience with free weights you might get a trainer to start out with you and check your form. Alternatively you might find an experienced lifting partner. If the place has mirrors you can check out your form that way as well.
Check your progress towards your goals. Those goals will also determine what sort of scheme you end up with. When starting out, you only need to hit the gym a few times per week and probably for about 45 minutes. You don't have to do anything fancy. Once you hit a plateau it's time to change it up, though you need to change things up before you hit that point.
As long as you have good form and you don't get injured then you don't have to worry about getting everything else totally right. You will learn along the way and at first you get the benefit of fast progress even with a less than perfect routine. By the time you hit a plateau then you will be far enough along to figure out how to tweak your routine.
Also, try to turn this into a lifestyle change. Otherwise you will be one of those people who buy a membership and never go. ;)
Squat rack isn't all that useful. It is only really necessary for squats, and deadlifts work the same muscles; and they are safer since you never have the bar where you can drop it on yourself.
Squat rack is actually very versatile. It can be used as the place where you leave the bar for bench press and military press, and barbell curls. This way you can just get a simple flat bench instead of a dedicated bench press bench. Also you can put pull up holds at the top which can be used for pull ups as well as hanging leg lifts. Lastly, you can store the plates on it.
Deadlifts are great. However, they are not nearly as effective as squats for leg work due to the lack hip depth used in the starting position of the deadlift.
Weight lifters who don't squat (and there are many of them) end up looking like ridiculous middle aged men who have massive torsos and spindly legs. Beyond appearance, one will also have very poor power generation.
