This project is part of the curriculum for SE Foundations Average and focuses on Web stack debugging. It is intended to train students in the art of debugging, an essential skill for DevOps, SysAdmin, Scripting, and Debugging roles.
For this project, students are expected to understand the following concepts:
- Network basics
- Docker
- Web stack debugging
The Webstack debugging series is designed to train students in debugging. It emphasizes the importance of debugging skills for Full-Stack Software Engineers and provides hands-on experience in diagnosing and fixing broken or bugged webstacks.
The first task in this project requires students to debug a web server issue and ensure that Apache returns a page containing "Hello Holberton" when queried at the root. A broken Docker container is provided, and students must identify and fix the issue manually before creating a Bash script to automate the process.
Students are provided with instructions on installing Docker on their local machines or VMs to experiment with and solve the task locally. Supported platforms include Mac OS, Windows, Ubuntu 14.04, and Ubuntu 16.04.
Students are encouraged to refer to the curl command's manual or help pages for assistance during the project.
- Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs
- Interpreted on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Files should end with a new line
- A README.md file at the root of the project folder is mandatory
- All Bash script files must be executable
- Scripts must pass Shellcheck without errors
- Scripts must run without errors
- First line of scripts should be
#!/usr/bin/env bash - Second line of scripts should be a comment explaining the script's purpose
Students are tasked with debugging an Apache web server issue in a Docker container. They must ensure that the server returns a page containing "Hello Holberton" when queried at the root. A sample Docker command and expected output are provided for reference.
