	+
	+* Installing new software as needed
	+
	+* Configuring software and access to hardware
	+
	+* Updating software & OS
	+
	+* Securing the system and installed software

	+
	+# Course expectations
	+
	+This is a crash-course limited to one day.
	+
	+* You are expected to know the basics of working with Linux.
	+ At a minimum, working with command line and editing files from it.
	+
	+* You were asked to prepare a VM with Linux, that way you can
	+ safely try admin commands and reboot the OS without affecting
	+ your main system.
	+
	+* Some commands can differ per Linux "flavour". The course sticks
	+ to Ubuntu / Debian, and may need to be adapted to other
	+ distributions.
	+
	+* The course is intended to be an introduction; to dig deeper
	+ into topics you'll need to do your own research.

	+
	+# Linux landscape: What's a distribution?
	+
	+"Linux" is the name of the OS kernel, and needs a lot of other software
	+ to be a functional operating system.
	+
	+One can, in principle, assemble this collection of software themselves:
	+ such an approach is called Linux From Scratch.
	+
	+--
	+
	+It's long, requires in-depth knowledge of the system and most importantly
	+ leaves keeping the system up to date to the user.
	+
	+A better approach is to use a .highlight[distribution], which offers:
	+
	+* A curated collection of software tested to work together.
	+* A .highlight[package manager] to automate software install tasks.
	+* Pre-compiled software for faster installation.
	+* Security updates and fixes for critical bugs.
	+* Varying balance between stability and faster updates.
	+* _Optional:_ paid support.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux landscape: Popular distributions
	+
	+There are many families of distributions, sharing package managers
	+ and maybe parts of the package collection.
	+--
	+
	+* Debian (package manager: `apt` / .deb packages)
	+ * Ubuntu
	+ * Kubuntu, Lubuntu, ...
	+ * Linux Mint
	+ * Kali, Tails, Devuan
	+--
	+
	+* RHEL (package manager: `yum` / .rpm packages)
	+ * Fedora
	+ * CentOS, Scientific Linux
	+ * SUSE, OpenSUSE
	+--
	+
	+* Arch Linux (package manager: `pacman`)
	+ * Manjaro Linux
	+* Gentoo (package manager: Portage / `emerge`)
	+ * Chrome OS
	+* Alpine Linux
	+* ...
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux landscape: Rolling / Static / LTS
	+
	+Various Linux distributions take different approaches to software updates.
	+
	+Programs update at their own pace, called "upstream".
	+
	+--
	+
	+.highlight[Rolling distributions] try to keep up with upstream version
	+ updates, with minimal changes to keep it compatible with
	+ the rest of the software stack.
	+
	+--
	+
	+.highlight[Static distributions] lock down software versions at the time
	+ of release, in order to provide more testing and stability.
	+
	+--
	+
	+However, critical bugfixes and security patches have to be ported back
	+ "downstream" to those "frozen" versions.
	+
	+Some static distributions have .highlight[Long Term Support] releases that
	+ guarantee longer availability of such patches.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Assuming superpowers
	+
	+How do administrative powers work in Linux?
	+
	+Compared to regular users, the user with ID 0, or .highlight[`root`],
	+ is treated as .highlight[superuser]: it has the ability
	+ to bypass all usual access restrictions.
	+
	+--
	+
	+In some Linux distributions a password for `root` is set
	+ at install time and can be used to log in directly.
	+
	+However, most of the time users with administrative privileges
	+ will have access to use .highlight[`sudo` command].
	+
	+.mnemonic[
	+`sudo` stands for ".highlight[su]peruser .highlight[do]", because it executes some
	+ other command as superuser instead of current user.

	+owner
	+owner@linux:~$ sudo whoami
	+[sudo] password for owner:

	+
	+--
	+
	+Normally, `sudo` asks for authentication: it requires you to supply

	+owner@linux:~$ sudo whoami

	+# To root or not to root
	+
	+Forgetting `sudo` before a command that requires it
	+ can be jarring. Therefore, there is great temptation
	+ to use a `root` shell when mostly admin tasks are involved.
	+
	+--
	+
	+Problem is, there are no "handrails" on what the `root` user can do.
	+ It's far too easy to shoot oneself in the foot.
	+
	+An error in a program run under `root` can break critical parts
	+ of the system, which won't happen under a regular user.
	+
	+--
	+
	+From a security perspective, running complex, or untrusted,
	+ programs under `root` opens you up for malicious actions as well.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# To root or not to root: a horror story
	+
	+Running this command as a `root` is a classic mean prank:
	+
	+```
	+root@linux:~# rm -rf /
	+rm: it is dangerous to operate recursively on '/'
	+rm: use --no-preserve-root to override this failsafe
	+```
	+
	+Fortunately, as written it doesn't work, there's a failsafe.
	+
	+--
	+
	+However, consider this line:
	+
	+```
	+(DO NOT RUN THIS)
	+root@linux:~# rm -rf $FOLDER/*
	+```
	+
	+This is supposed to delete everything in folder `$FOLDER`.
	+
	+But in case that variable is unset, it will happily destroy everything on the system — if run as `root`.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# To root or not to root
	+
	+In addition, if files are created while running as `root`
	+ it usually leads to them being inaccessible by normal users.
	+
	+This can lead to errors when running the same commands later
	+ as a normal user.
	+
	+--
	+
	+Most workflows are a mixture of commands that require superuser and those that don't.
	+
	+It's good practice to be aware of it and run only those parts that need it with `sudo`.
	+
	+--
	+
	+It's not a hard rule. Running a set of commands as `root` has its place,
	+ but one needs to be careful and mindful of the above nuances.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# root and SSH
	+
	+By default, even if you set a password for the `root` user,
	+ you won't be able to connect via SSH with this password.
	+
	+This is done to discourage brute-forcing the `root` password.
	+
	+--
	+
	+This encourages people to connect as their user and elevate
	+ with `sudo` if necessary. This creates more meaningful logs.
	+
	+
	+Also, if your SSH key is compromised but your user password is not,
	+ the attacker won't be able to elevate to `root` even if
	+ they can connect.
	+
	+--
	+
	+It's still possible to connect directly as `root` by weakening
	+ the security (bad idea) or adding an SSH key to the `root`
	+ account. However, previous warnings apply.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# How is `sudo` configured?
	+
	+What enables certain users to use `sudo`?
	+
	+By default, members of a specific group
	+ (e.g. `sudo`, `admin`, `wheel`)
	+ are allowed all `root` privileges after verifying their password.
	+
	+--
	+
	+There's a `/etc/sudoers` file describing the system policy.
	+
	+It can be fine-tuned to allow some users access only to
	+ specific commands, or dropping the password requirement.
	+
	+.advice[
	+ When editing `sudoers` file, always use the `visudo` script.

	+# Linux filesystem map: what goes where?
	+
	+Before we proceed, it's important to understand
	+ common filesystem locations in Linux.
	+
	+It differs a little from distribution to distribution,
	+ but generally systems adhere to the
	+ .highlight[Filesystem Hierarcy Standard], or FHS (3.0 currently).
	+
	+Not every entry in the standard will be explained, but "points of interest"
	+ will be shown.
	+
	+_References:_
	+ [Wikipedia entry on FHS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard),
	+ [FHS 3.0 specification](http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.html)
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: a common tree
	+
	+Under UNIX conventions, there's only a single filesystem tree visible in the system.
	+
	+There can be multiple disks, or multiple partitions on those disks, each with its
	+ own filesystem trees, but to be usable they are inserted in the common file tree
	+ as subtrees:

	+.center[ ![](assets/mount.svg) ]
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: a common tree
	+
	+.center[ ![](assets/mount.svg) ]
	+
	+This process is called .highlight[mounting].
	+You can examine currently mounted filesystems with the `mount` command:
	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ mount
	+sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
	+proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)
	+[...]
	+```
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: `/home` sweet home
	+
	+As a user, you're probably familiar with .highlight[`/home`].
	+
	+Home directories for each user are usually stored there:
	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ echo $HOME
	+/home/owner
	+owner@linux:~$ ls -l /home/
	+total 6
	+drwxr-xr-x 4 owner owner 4096 Jan 14 00:03 owner
	+drwxr-xr-x 2 user user 4096 Jan 15 18:31 user
	+```
	+
	+The `root` user is an exception:
	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ sudo -i
	+root@linux:~# echo $HOME
	+/root
	+```
	+
	+This is done to help with troubleshooting, if `/home` is a separate filesystem
	+ and something goes wrong with it.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: configuration, _et cetera_
	+
	+We have already saw .highlight[`/etc`] mentioned
	+ when we looked at `sudoers` policy.
	+
	+In fact, by convention all .highlight[system-wide configuration] files
	+ are stored there, often grouped into folders by topic/program.
	+
	+Most files are only writable by `root`, and some highly-sensitive
	+ ones, like `/etc/sudoers`, are not readable by anyone else.
	+
	+.note[
	+ User-specific configuration (and persistent state) is usually stored
	+ in the user's home folder as hidden files/folders,
	+ e.g. `/home/owner/.bashrc`
	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ ls -a ~
	+. .. .bash_history .bash_logout .bashrc .cache .gnupg .local .ssh ...
	+```
	+]
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: where software lives
	+
	+Executable (.highlight["binary"]) files for software installed system-wide is read-only
	+ for regular users and is organized in (up to) 3 tiers of hierarchy of .highlight[`sbin`/`bin`] folders:
	+
	+* .highlight[`/`]`sbin`, .highlight[`/`]`bin` - essential system software
	+
	+--
	+* .highlight[`/usr/`]`sbin`, .highlight[`/usr/`]`bin` - more software that's part of the OS
	+
	+--
	+* .highlight[`/usr/local/`]`sbin`, .highlight[`/usr/local/`]`bin` - additional software
	+
	+--
	+
	+These locations can have `lib` and `include` folders
	+ for library and header files, and `share` folders
	+ for program data.
	+
	+--
	+
	+Finally, .highlight[`/opt`] provides a location for installing extra
	+ software without interfering with `/usr`.
	+
	+--
	+
	+In practice, the difference between these locations is not very well
	+ defined. Some distributions don't differentiate at all.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: not-quite-files
	+
	+Several locations on the filesystem contain virtual "files"
	+ that can be read and/or written to, but represent something else.
	+
	+--
	+
	+* .highlight[`/dev`] contains .highlight[device] files that serve
	+ as interfaces to hardware that the kernel sees and has drivers for;
	+
	+--
	+
	+* .highlight[`/proc`] contains information and interfaces to control
	+ running .highlight[processes] and some kernel systems;
	+
	+--
	+
	+* .highlight[`/sys`] contains kernel and .highlight[system] information
	+ and interfaces to control it. It's a newer method than `/proc`.
	+
	+Those locations are, again, usually read-only (or not accessible)
	+ to regular users.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: variable and temporary
	+
	+Besides fixed program data, the filesystem has locations for
	+ .highlight[variable] data, like temporary files and persistent state.
	+
	+--
	+
	+* .highlight[`/var`] represents variable data. A couple notable folders:
	+ * .highlight[`/var/log`] for system logs
	+ * .highlight[`/var/lib`] for data modified by programs, e.g. databases
	+
	+
	+--
	+
	+* .highlight[`/run`] contains state information since startup.
	+* .highlight[`/tmp`] is for temporary data, and is user-writable.
	+
	+Both `/run` and `/tmp` locations are emptied on boot, and in fact usually exist only in memory.
	+
	+--
	+
	+* .highlight[`/var/tmp`] is also for temporary data, but it survives reboot.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: other storage
	+
	+When extra storage is connected to the system, there are conventional
	+ places to add it to the filesystem.
	+
	+--
	+
	+* .highlight[`/media`] is populated with filesystems from removable storage
	+ added to the system: USB drives, CD disks, etc.
	+
	+ Often, such devices are added to `/media` automatically.
	+
	+--
	+
	+* .highlight[`/mnt`] is the traditional place to mount additional filesystems
	+ temporarily.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: where everything starts
	+
	+Last but not least, .highlight[`/boot`] contains essential files to initialize Linux
	+ when the computer starts up.
	+
	+Typical contents:
	+
	+* `/boot/grub/` contains .highlight[bootloader] components
	+* `/boot/vmlinuz*` files are compressed Linux kernels
	+* `/boot/initrd*` files are initial filesystems that are used until "real" root becomes available
	+
	+--
	+
	+.note[
	+ On some OS configurations, `/boot` is a small separate filesystem. Since it usually contains
	+ several versions of the kernel as a backup, in worst case it can run out of space.
	+
	+ In that case, you'll need to clean up older kernels before installing new versions.
	+]
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Linux filesystem: parts, assemble!
	+
	+As mentioned, the .highlight[`mount`] command can be used to list currently-mounted filesystems.
	+
	+--
	+
	+To mount a filesystem, .highlight[`mount [WHAT] [WHERE]`] format is used.
	+
	+Here, `[WHAT]` identifies where the filesystem can be accessed (e.g. a physical drive partition),
	+ and `[WHERE]` identifies the directory where its contents should be mapped.
	+
	+--
	+
	+To unmount a filesystem, .highlight[`umount [WHAT]`] (or `umount [WHERE]`) command can be used.
	+Typically, only `root` can mount or unmount.
	+
	+--
	+
	+For permanent mount rules, e.g. what gets mounted on boot, see the .highlight[`/etc/fstab`] file.
	+
	+_References:_ `man mount`, `man umount`, `man fstab`

	+
	+# Exercise: adding a filesystem

	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ sudo mount /mnt/tiny/
	+owner@linux:~$ ls /mnt/tiny
	+lost+found test
	+```
	+
	+You can mount all filesystems in `fstab` at once with `mount -a`.
	+
	+Further, our example should now be accessible after a reboot.
	+To prevent automatic mounting at boot time, use `noauto` option.
	+
	+.note[
	+ To be able to mount a filesystem, corresponding drivers/utilities need
	+ to be installed. If you fail to mount something, like a network drive,
	+ check installed packages.

	+
	+# Working with the package manager
	+
	+To simplify software installation, updates and removal,
	+ distributions provide a .highlight[package manager]
	+ and a collection of "official" packages.
	+
	+Command examples for `apt`, Debian/Ubuntu package manager,
	+ will be shown, but principles apply to other managers.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Packages: software sources
	+
	+To install software, `apt` needs up-to-date information
	+ about packages that are available.
	+
	+.highlight[`/etc/apt/sources.list`] contains the information
	+ on .highlight[repositories] to get information from for system packages.
	+
	+--
	+
	+A command needs to be run to update a local catalog
	+ of package information:
	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~ $ sudo apt update
	+[...]
	+Get:8 http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security/universe amd64 Packages [112 kB]

	+```
	+
	+After confirmation, `apt` will download and apply updates.
	+
	+--
	+
	+.note[
	+ Sometimes, an upgrade needs to remove some (replaced) packages.
	+ In that case, `apt dist-upgrade` is used.
	+]
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Packages: to upgrade or not to upgrade?
	+
	+Static distributions like Ubuntu only update packages
	+ when serious bugfixes or security fixes are needed,
	+ with little to no functionality changes.
	+
	+As such, it's usually safe to upgrade OS-provided packages.
	+
	+--
	+
	+If you're using a rolling distribution, or a third-party
	+ repository, they can introduce breaking changes.
	+Be prepared and read available changelogs to determine when to upgrade.
	+
	+--
	+
	+If you need to stop a particular package from upgrading,
	+ you can put it on .highlight[hold]:
	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ sudo apt-mark hold bash
	+bash set on hold.
	+owner@linux:~$ sudo apt-mark unhold bash
	+Canceled hold on bash.
	+```
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Packages: when to upgrade?
	+
	+For most updates, upgrades will not disrupt normal workflow
	+ and can be applied at any time.
	+
	+Note that upgrading running services (e.g. a web server)
	+ requires them to restart, briefly becoming unavailable.
	+ You may need to plan your maintenance in advance.
	+
	+--
	+
	+Some upgrades (mostly kernel updates) can't be applied without
	+ a reboot. The system will nag you about it, but you won't
	+ be forced to reboot.
	+
	+--
	+
	+General advice for any software updates: be prepared
	+ to spend some time dealing with unexpected problems.
	+
	+---
	+
	+# Packages: Finding system packages
	+
	+If you're missing some software and it's available
	+ in OS repositories, it's very easy to install.
	+
	+The shell can even .highlight[suggest the package] you're missing:
	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ fortune
	+
	+Command 'fortune' not found, but can be installed with:
	+
	+sudo apt install fortune-mod
	+```
	+
	+Otherwise, you can .highlight[search known packages] by package name or description
	+ with .highlight[`apt search`]:
	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ apt search cow
	+[..long list..]
	+owner@linux:~$ apt search --names-only cow

	+Often, packages require other packages (e.g. libraries, data files)

	+.note[
	+ Rarely, a package is incompatible with already installed ones.

	+# Packages: getting rid of them
	+
	+If you no longer need a package, you can use .highlight[`apt remove`]:

	+```
	+
	+After confirmation, the program will be removed,

	+
	+```
	+owner@linux:~$ sudo apt purge fortune-mod

	+---
	+
	+# Packages: orphaned dependencies

	+
	+```
	+The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required
	+ fortunes-min librecode0
	+```
	+
	+`apt` is informing you that `fortunes-min` and `librecode0` were installed
	+ as dependencies, but .highlight[nothing requires them anymore].
	+
	+Therefore, it's highly likely that they can be removed without affecting anything.
	+ However, `apt` does not do that automatically.
	+
	+To allow `apt` to do that, use .highlight[`apt autoremove`]:
