## POV
This repository is a collection of notes from the book *Unix and Linux system administration handbook by Evi Nemeth Garth Snyder Trent R. Hein Ben Whaley Dan Mackin*. I am reading the 5th edition of the book. This shit is a comprehensive guide to Unix and Linux system administration.
## Path to the notes
The notes are organized in chapters. Each chapter has a `readme.md` file that contains the notes for that chapter. The notes are organized in a way that makes it easy to follow the book. I am not following the chapters in order. I am reading the book in a way that makes sense to me.

## Testing lab
I've set up a testing lab to test the concepts discussed in the book. You will need to install docker and docker-compose to run the lab.
To install docker and docker-compose, follow the instructions [here](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
To run the lab, clone the repository and run the following command:
```bash
docker compose up -d --build
```
This will create two containers, one for the Debian server and the other for the CentOS server. You can access the containers using the following command:
```bash
docker exec -it lab-[debian|centos] bash
```
You will then be logged into the container. You can then run the commands discussed in the book to test the various concepts.
A volume is mounted to the `lab-[debian|centos]` container. You can use this volume to share files between your host machine and the container.
## Why I am reading this book
I am reading this book to learn more about Unix and Linux system administration. As a DevOps engineer, it's a must to know how to manage Unix and Linux systems.
