    • RE: Trueability Testing

      @dafyre Yeah, it was pretty intense. It really digs deep to see if you have the knowledge needed. I just did a test on my own accord and was given the following:

      Apache Self Assess

      101: Baseline Implementation
      Installation and Global Configuration

      • Install the Apache HTTPD Webserver via the distro's packaging system (yum/apt)
      • Ensure that the following modules are installed and enabled:
        • Mod Rewrite
        • Mod SSL
      • Configure the server admin email address (globally) [email protected]
      • Configure the server so that its signature is displayed on server-generated pages (such as 500 Internal Server Error), and that it also includes the server admin's email address in the signature.
      • Enable the server status page at http://localhost/server-statusaccessible only by the host 127.0.0.1
        Users, Groups, and Files
      • Create the system group webadmin
      • Create the system user don.draper with the following credentials:
        • Password: IXnMe2Fp
        • Home Directory: /home/don.draper
        • Primary Group: don.draper
        • Secondary Group: webadmin
      • Create the system user peggy.olson:
        • Password: 3Hx1M8aS
        • Home Directory: /home/peggy.olson
        • Primary Group: peggy.olson
        • Secondary Group: webadmin
      • Create the directory /var/www/vhosts, with the following ownership and permissions:
        • User Ownership / Permissions: root / Read, Write, and Execute
        • Group Ownership / Permissions: webadmin / Read, Write, and Execute.
        • Other Permissions: Everyone should have Read, and Execute permissions.
      • All future files and directories created in the /var/www/vhosts directory should automatically inherit the same group ownership of webadmin.
        Virtual Hosts
        Configure the web server for the following virtual hosts, and specifications.
        VirtualHost 1
      • Server Name: site1.104.239.228.184.xip.io
      • Document Root: /var/www/vhosts/site1/htdocs
      • Access Log: /var/www/vhosts/site1/logs/access.log
      • Error Log: /var/www/vhosts/site1/logs/error.log
      • Copy the content of this virtual host from /root/files/site1 to the document root
        Ensure that the proper content is returned when this site is accessed athttp://site1.104.239.228.184.xip.io, and there are no errors in the logs.
        VirtualHost 2
      • Server Name: site2.104.239.228.184.xip.io
      • The virtual host should also respond to the following aliases:
        • www.site2.104.239.228.184.xip.io
        • web.site2.104.239.228.184.xip.io
      • Document Root: /var/www/vhosts/site2/htdocs
      • Access Log: /var/www/vhosts/site2/logs/access.log
      • Error Log: /var/www/vhosts/site2/logs/error.log
      • Copy the content of this virtual host from /root/files/site2 to the document root
      • Configure Apache with any necessary PHP modules required for the site
        Ensure that the proper content is returned when this site is accessed athttp://site2.104.239.228.184.xip.io, that the aliases for www and webreturn the proper content, and there are no errors in the logs.
        VirtualHost 3
      • Document Root: /var/www/vhosts/site3/htdocs
      • Access Log: /var/www/vhosts/site3/logs/access.log for HTTP and/var/www/vhosts/site3/logs/ssl_access.log for HTTPS
      • Error Log: /var/www/vhosts/site3/logs/error.log for HTTP and/var/www/vhosts/site3/logs/ssl_error.log for HTTPS
      • Copy the content of this virtual host from /root/files/site3 to the document root
      • Restrict access to this site with HTTP Basic Auth, with the user namewebadmin and password 4v2JaLuQ
      • Configure the document root so that a directory listing is displayed in the browser, rather than an index page.
      • Configure this site to respond on both HTTP, and HTTPS standard ports, however all traffic that comes through over HTTP must be redirected to the HTTPS virtual host. Any self-signed certificate will do.
        Ensure that the proper content is returned when this site is accessed athttps://site3.104.239.228.184.xip.io and that the traffic is redirected when accessing http://site3.104.239.228.184.xip.io. No content should be returned without proper authentication as mentioned above, and there are no errors in the logs.

      Was given 3 hours to finish, and unfortunately I did not. Looks like I have some studying to do 😛

    • RE: A slow descent into burnout

      Sounds like the problem may lie with the job itself. Doing a degree on top of that would be extremely challenging!

      I am a Sysadmin as well, and currently going through an ovehaul to prove myself more appealing to the current market. I found the regular route quite stale so I took some online courses and started studying cloud and devops stuff. It's amazing how much traction you can get if you're willing to start at the bottom again. With all that experience and the new on the job experience, I'm sure within a couple of years, you can put yourself in a really good position that you would enjoy 😉
