Open Source System Administration Study Group

This group will learn about system administration topics with hands-on collaborative learning on a homelab setup of four Dell servers. A description of this session's plan in down below. We’ll deploy components like LDAP(authentication), Ansible (Infrastructure as Code), NextCloud (file storage), OpenStack (Cloud computing), OpenTofu (IaC Terraform fork), containerization and other open source software. We also intend to explore clustering, certainly high-availability and possibly compute clustering.

We've setup the hardware, installed the OS, and established procedures and documentation standards. Now we're starting to work in small groups or individually on projects. An under-construction list of project ideas is at https://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/Project_Ideas.

We have room for a few new people. Sign up to this event, come and do the exercise, and you're in.

Join the Hack Manhattan Discord and say hello. DM me there with your email address so I can sign you up for a wiki account.

Please bring a laptop if you can. We'll have a limited number of machines available you can use.
