The "init" project is a foundational step into the world of system and network administration. Designed with the intent to introduce basic commands, essential services on a server machine, and scripting practices, this project serves as a practical initiation for aspiring SysAdmins. By engaging with real-world scenarios, participants will gain hands-on experience that lays the groundwork for advanced study and professional development in the field of IT infrastructure.
This project aims to:
- Introduce participants to basic system and network commands. ⚙️
- Provide an understanding of commonly used services on a server. :server:
- Explore scripting techniques to automate daily SysAdmin tasks. 📜
The repository is organized into three key sections:
- Network: Exercises and scripts related to network configuration and analysis. 🌐
- System: Tasks focusing on system administration, including system setup, monitoring, and management. 🖥️
- Scripts: Custom scripts designed to automate various SysAdmin tasks. 📝
To dive into the project, follow the instructions outlined in each directory. Start with the network section to get acquainted with basic networking commands, proceed to system for a deeper look into system administration, and finally, explore scripts to learn about scripting for automation and efficiency.
- Basic knowledge of terminal commands and Linux environment. :linux:
- Access to a Linux distribution (preferably Debian-based for consistency with project instructions). 🐧
We welcome contributions and suggestions to improve the project. Whether it's adding new scripts, refining existing tasks, or providing alternative solutions, your input is valuable. Please refer to the CONTRIBUTING.md file for more information on how to contribute.
This project was inspired by the collaborative spirit of the Slash16 network and the pedagogical team at 42. Special thanks to everyone involved in creating and supporting this initiative.
