*** cdist #6: Glueing it together
**** Lecture content
***** Objective
- Apply learnings from the previous cdist sessions
***** DONE Steps 1: *__all_in_one* (1.25h)
CLOSED: [2020-05-15 금 23:16]
- Create a new type named *__all_in_one*
- Decide yourself whether it is a singleton or not
- Reason why in your cdist.org file
- It should work on alpine, debian and fedora
- It accepts the following parameters:
- *--with-x* (boolean)
- *--extra-packages* (optional multiple)
- On Alpine, it should install netcat-openbsd and tshark
- On Debian, it should install netcat tshark
- On Fedora, it should install nmap-ncat wireshark-cli
- On all operating systems install socat sipcalc sudo
- If the detected operating system is neither
Alpine/Debian/Fedora, output an error message and abort the
manifest with exit code 1
- Additionally install all packages specified by the *--extra-packages* parameter
***** TODO Steps 2: *__firewall* (1.25h)
- Create a new type *__my_firewall*
- Add a *type explorer* to find out whether nft is present on
the target system
- Add a required parameter named *file*
- If the type explorer does not detect nft on the target system,
abort with an error message
- Deploy the specified file to */etc/my-nftables*
- Add a *type explorer* that reads the current nft rules
- If the rules are different on the target host, apply the new
ruleset by generating code in *gencode-remote*
- If the filename specified by the *file* parameter is *-* (the
minus sign), then the type should read from *stdin*
***** TODO Step 3: manifest (0.5h)
- Create a new manifest in the folder that contains the initial manifest
- Name the new manifest *firewall*
- Source the *firewall* manifest in the *initial* manifest
- In the *firewall* manifest, match on *localhost*
- Install nftables
- Use the *__firewall* type
- Use correct *require* parameter to ensure that nftables is
installed before the *__firewall* type is run

*** cdist #4: Requirements
**** Lecture content
***** Objective
- Understand how requirements work
***** DONE Create a new type *__my_nginx*
CLOSED: [2020-05-12 화 02:22]
- Make it a *singleton*
- Make it install nginx
- Configure a host with it
- Usually nginx is configured includes some files
- On the target host find out which directory nginx includes
- We name this directory *nginx_config_dir*
***** DONE Create a new type *__my_nginx_site*
CLOSED: [2020-05-12 화 02:22]
- Assume the *object_id* is a *domain*
- In the __my_nginx_site create a file inside the *nginx_config_dir*
- The filename is *${domain}.conf*
- When using *__file*, it should *require* the *nginx package*
- Read about cdist dependencies
- The file should be a valid nginx configuration
- The *server name* should be set to the specified domain
- The *root* directive should point to /var/www/html/DOMAIN
- (replace DOMAIN with the actual domain)
***** DONE Use both types in the initial manifest to configure the target host
CLOSED: [2020-05-15 금 21:07]
- Create at least two domains
***** DONE Configure the target host
CLOSED: [2020-05-15 금 21:08]
- Verify that the configuration files are properly created
***** DONE Delete the nginx package manually on the target host
CLOSED: [2020-05-15 금 21:08]

*** cdist #2: Your first cdist type
**** Lecture content
***** Objective
****** Begin to understand how cdist types function
***** Steps
****** Create a new type named `__my_computer`
- Mark the type as a singleton type
- Create a `manifest` file in it
- Use this type to install the following packages: zsh, mosh, emacs, nmap, sipcalc
- Edit the *initial manifest* and use **__my_computer** for **localhost**
- Match using the $__target_host variable
****** Modify your type to use a *for loop* to install the packages
****** Deploy / manage your ~/.emacs file in this type
- Ensure that permissions and ownership are correct
****** Use different *verbosity* levels when configuring
****** Ensure that all your changes are committed and pushed in your ungleich-learning-circle repository
- Use magit inside emacs for that

*** Organisation #5: Emacs refresher
**** Lecture content
***** Objective: get confident with emacs commands
***** Find out and document how to do the following steps
- Search for something forward C-s
- How to continue searching C-s C-s
- Search for something backward C-r
- Search for regular expressions instead of string (forward, backward) C-M-s C-M-r
- Go to the beginning of the line C-a
- Go to the end of the line C-e
- Delete a word in front (to the right of the cursor) M-d
- Delete a word in back (to the left of the cursor) M-BackSpace
- List all "occurences" of a word in a file M-s o
- You can copy above instructions into an emacs buffer
- And test it by showing all occurences of the word "Search"
- Search (GREP) for a word in all files in a directory RECURSIVELY M-x rgrep
- Save the CURRENT buffer C-x C-s
- Save ALL open files C-x-s
- Split the window/buffer vertically C-x 2
- Split the window/buffer horizontally C-x 3
- Switch between the different windows C-x o
- Close all buffers besides the active one C-x 1
- Don't kill it!
- Close only the active buffer C-x 0
-* Don't kill it!
- Kill the active buffer C-x k
- Describe/Explain the difference between closing and killing
- closing is that emac do not display the buffer. and the contents on the buffer are kept on behined screen.
- killing is that emac delete the buffer. and if contents are not stored, it is losted
- Switch between buffers that are not shown C-x b
- Document two very similar, but slightly different ways
- C-x b is that the selected buffer is displayed on the focused window
- C-x C-b is that all buffers is dispalayed on the new window
- C-x 4 b is that the selected buffer is displayed on the new window
***** Outcome
- Document all above commands in your learning org sheet
- Share your documentation at the end of the session (not before)

*** Organisation #4: Organising yourself
**** Lecture content
***** Objective: have a todo list based on org mode
***** Steps
- Configure the "org-directory" to be ~/ungleich-learning-circle/USERNAME/
- This is important as it will be used by the todo function later
- Extend your function from the organisation #1 session
- Instead of opening a fixed file, we include two variable parts:
- The hostname of the machine
- The year
- Pressing F3 should open ~/ungleich-learning-circle/USERNAME/learning-$(hostname)-$(year).org
- we call this "your personal agenda"
- Configure mu4e to create a org-mode tasks from an email
- Store these tasks in ~/ungleich-learning-circle/USERNAME/todo.org
- Configure emacs to open the "org-agenda" with "C-c a"
- List all TODO entries
- List the agenda of the day
- List the agenda of the week
- Bind F8 to open the "org-todo-list"
- Create some sample tasks in it
***** From now on, maintaining tasks should be
- Pressing F3 to open your personal "logfile"
- Adding a TODO item
- Pressing F8 to see the tasks with priorities
***** Bonus tasks
- Configure mu4e to store org-mode tasks in .../todo-$(hostname)-$(year).org

*** Organisation #3: Managing your emails
**** Lecture content
***** Objective
- Be able to manage all your mails in mu4e
***** Description
- All email is synchronised using isync/mbsync
- Email is indexed with mu (xapian backend)
- Email is viewed in mu4e
- All new emails arrive in the inbox
***** Steps
- Install mu4e
- Start mu4e in emacs
- Configure mbsync for your ungleich mail account
- Synchronise all mails into ~/Maildir/ungleich
- This structure leaves room for other mail accounts, like ~/Maildir/gmail

- Index mails using `mu` on the command line (only first time)
- Configure mu4e to get email with mbsync -a
- Configure mu4e to "archive" emails into ~/Maildir/ungleich/YEAR/
- This gives you a good performance / organisation for the next decades
- Configure mu4e/emacs for sending emails
- Send other participants an email via mu4e
- Verify that it arrives
- "Archive" it afterwards
