RHCE Lab built with packer and vagrant
I am not affiliated with Red Hat nor do I have any idea what questions are on the RHCE exam. I assembled everything in this repo from the various sources below. Using this lab will not gurantee you will pass your RHCE exam.
Get Started
- Install Vagrant, Virtualbox, and Packer
- Run
packer build packer.json - Run
vagrant up
Once installed
- visit http://server1.rhce.lab for objectives
- install any other needed packages to complete objectives, i intentionally left several out
- most objectives will have help links to videos or repos
Continuing
- after running each practice run
vagrant destroy -fto destroy enviroment - run
vagrant upto create fresh enviroment
VM Details
- server1.rhce.lab is main server, runs httpd for objectives, can be setup as client
- server2.rhce.lab can be setup as client server for NFS, POSTFIX, etc
- ipa.rhce.lab is ipa server it provides kerberos auth for NFS and User auth as well. I wouldn't do much on this VM
- server1 and server2 have 3 extra nics to set up teaming/bonding*
- No ssh keys for root user have been copied between machines
Items still needed
- ipv6 support to configure nic with ipv6
- teaming setup currently will not work
- issues suspending/resuming VMs

Notes
- look in selinux folder for custom semodule to allow
httpd_taccess tovmblock_t, check out this semodule tutorial for information - take a look in ipa folder for different commands that are run in Vagrantfile
- packer build will take a good while as will vagrant up
- the
ks.cfgfile will install most needed packages and run a yum update
