Assignment Prompt & Instructions
You are tasked with completing an academic report based on a systems administration assignment (Module: CET262 – Virtualisation and Cloud Infrastructure) from the University of East London.
**Key Points:**
– Configure an Arch Linux virtual machine (VM) with **40GB storage** (split into multiple files), **2GB memory**, and default CPU settings.
– Install Arch Linux without a GUI — strictly using CLI.
– Create specific disk partitions:
– `/boot` – 512MB
– `/home` – 14GB
– `/` (root) – 25.5GB (remaining space)
– Secure the root account and set up administrative users (yourself and IT Manager).
– Create user accounts for specified roles (Technical Lead Developer, Website Developer, Software Tester) with proper permission settings under `/srv/`.
– Configure a secure **SSH server** for all users.
– Implement a secure development project directory, controlling access between developers and testers.
– Install and configure **Docker** with:
– MySQL container (internal access only)
– phpMyAdmin container (accessible via reverse proxy at `/phpmyadmin`)
– NGinx container serving a website (on port 80, using `/srv/http`).
**Deliverable:**
– A professional **PDF report (~1500 words)**.
– Must detail every step from VM creation to full configuration.
– Include proper justifications and explanations for all decisions.
– Use **Harvard referencing style** if any external materials are used.
– Include **screenshots in an appendix** and reference them correctly inside the main report text.
**Important:**
– **A+ quality** writing is expected.
– **Proper academic formatting** is required: cover page, table of contents, clear headings/subheadings, references, and appendices.
– **No plagiarism**; originality checks will apply.
