MODULE 066 topics / automation

Homelab Academy

Linux Foundations

Learn / Practice / Test / Reflect inside every topic. Module project, quiz, exam, and remediation close the gate.

Overview

Design chain: Backward Design → Bloom’s Taxonomy → Learn / Practice / Test / Reflect → Mastery → Spiral Review
Feynman teach-back is required in every lesson.

Words

Backward design: module outcome

Student can navigate a Linux lab tree safely, compose shell pipelines for investigation, apply least-privilege users/groups/permissions, manage processes with signals and user systemd units, extract evidence with journalctl, and harden SSH with keys using console break-glass: all verified under disposable /opt/lab-classroom/ paths.
