Working Notes: SYS265: Lab Git and SSH - eliminmax/cncs-journal GitHub Wiki
New Guides:
Deleted Linux: Block Root Login, as it was made redundant by Linux: SSH.
For this week's lab, I had to set up several computers within the eli.local VM network to use Git, and make a shell script that would create a passwordless user, accessible over SSH with the right private key, and demonstrate that all of that worked. I used the Git repo that this wiki is attached to, and created the folder SYS265* to store it in. The closest thing to a hiccup was when I forgot to cat out secure-ssh.sh, and had to add an extra screenshot to my deliverable. That said, I'm quite proud of the quality of the Linux: SSH Quick Guide, and of my Docker-compose Gitea setup.
Of course it wasn't that simple! Of course something had to go wrong at the last minute! And guess what - it was with this very file! I have a local clone of https://github.com/eliminmax/cncs_journal.wiki.git that I use to edit it, with three additional files: .gitignore, template-quick-guides.md, and template-working-notes.md. I made the latter two to serve as a framework for having a more consistent format on this wiki, and the former is to keep them from accidentally getting uploaded, when they're not actually meant to be wiki content.
Anyway, I managed to somehow write my Working Notes for the week to the template file, and the raw template to SYS265-Lab-Git-and-SSH.md. Thankfully, I didn't lose it completely, and I was able to fix it without much trouble.
