Objective
Our goal is to build rpm packages with custom content, unifying scripts across any number of systems, including versioning, deployment and undeployment.Operating System and Software Versions
- Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5
- Software: rpm-build 4.11.3+
Requirements
Privileged access to the system for install, normal access for build.Difficulty
MEDIUMConventions
- # - requires given linux commands to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of
sudocommand - $ - given linux commands to be executed as a regular non-privileged user
Introduction
One of the core feature of any Linux system is that they are built for automation. If a task may need to be executed more than one time - even with some part of it changing on next run - a sysadmin is provided with countless tools to automate it, from simpleshell scripts run by hand on demand (thus eliminating typo errors, or only save some keyboard hits) to complex scripted systems where tasks run from cron at a specified time, interacting with each other, working with the result of another script, maybe controlled by a central management system etc.- Details

Introduction
RPM, which stands for Red Hat Package Manager, is a well-known and mature package manager used by all Red Hat flavor distributions, as well as SuSE. With RPM the packager can define relations between packages, and even with versions of packages - for example, an Apache Tomcat server needs proper Java environment present to be able to run.On the other hand, to install a Java environment, you don't need a Tomcat server - you may decide to run some different Java based application, maybe one written by yourself started by hand when needed to do it's job. In other words, the Tomcat server depends on Java.

The objective is to set up Apache webserver with SSL/TLS support on Red Hat Linux, using the packages shipped with the distribution.Operating System and Software Versions
- Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5
- Software: Apache httpd, mod_ssl
Requirements
Privileged access to the webserver.Difficulty
EASYConventions
- # - requires given linux commands to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of
sudocommand - $ - given linux commands to be executed as a regular non-privileged user
Introduction
Installing a webserver is pretty easy on modern distributions, as use cases of a webserver are so common that most if not all distributions provide packages in their repositories. Apache httpd is a reliable webserver used by a large portion of the Internet, and many modules are available to extend it's functionality.- Details

Objective
Our objective is to install and configure a standalone FreeIPA server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.Operating System and Software Versions
- Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5
- Software: FreeIPA 4.5.4-10
Requirements
Privileged access to the target server, available software repository.Difficulty
MEDIUMConventions
- # - requires given linux commands to be executed with root privileges either directly as a root user or by use of
sudocommand - $ - given linux commands to be executed as a regular non-privileged user
Introduction
FreeIPA is mainly a directory service, where you can store information about your users, and their rights regarding login, become root, or just run a specific command as root on your systems that are joined your FreeIPA domain, and many more. Although this is the main feature of the service, there are optional components that can be very useful, like DNS and PKI - this makes FreeIPA an essential infrastructural part of a Linux-based system. It has a nice web-based GUI, and powerful command line interface.- Details
