1st Edition
Raspberry Pi OS Text Editors, git, and LXC A Practical Approach
The third volume in a new series exploring the basics of Raspberry Pi Operating System administration, this installment builds on the insights from Volumes 1 and 2 to provide a compendium of easy-to-use and essential guidance for Raspberry Pi system administration for novice users, with specific focus on Text Editors, git/ GitHub, and LXC/LXD.
The overriding idea behind system administration of a modern, 21st-century Linux system, such as the Raspberry Pi OS, is the use of systemd to ensure that the Linux kernel works efficiently and effectively to provide these three foundation stones of computer operation and management: computer system concurrency, virtualization, and secure persistence. This third volume includes a beginner’s compendium of essential text-based Linux commands, a complete tutorial on the most important Raspberry Pi OS Text Editors, a description of uses of the git command, and a thorough explication of container virtualization with LXC/LXD and Docker.
This book is aimed at students and practitioners looking to maximize their use of the Raspberry Pi OS. With plenty of practical examples, projects, and exercises, this volume can also be adopted in a more formal learning environment to supplement and extend the basic knowledge of a Linux operating system.
