+# Sysadmin Interview Exercises
+
+## Step 1 - Deploy Webserver
+
+I was able to relatively quickly provision a new virtual machine on my hypervisor and install the requisite software for this task. I chose to install Debian, as I have experience with it and it is well-suited for tasks such as these.
+
+Once it was running, I quickly installed Docker, cloned the given repository, and built the Docker image. I then started it with a shell as PID 1 to explore the container.
+
+The web app is a simple Django app with a single URL defined which simply renders the `index.html` template. It has the admin app installed, but it doesn't actually seem functional.
+
+Once I had determined this, I wrote a simple Ansible playbook to deploy the container from scratch, including installing dependencies, pulling the latest Dockerfile, and building the container. I also added an entry to my Nginx configuration (at [https://sysadmin-exercise.internal.ezri.dev/], accessible from the ITS building or USU VPN), as I consider HTTPS access to be a part of deploying a webapp. I then simply visited the above site from my browser.
+
+### Tasks
+1. Create virtual machine in Proxmox hypervisor
+2. Install Debian
+3. Log into system, install Docker
+4. Clone repository
+5. Build container
+6. Run container with shell to explore filesystem
+7. Create [Ansible role and playbook](https://git.ezri.dev/ezri/homelab-ansible/src/branch/main/playbooks/roles/sysadmin_exercise) to deploy the container
+8. Add web entry to Nginx Ansible group variables
+9. Run ansible playbooks
+10. Visit website
+
+## Step 2 - Complete Additional Exercises
+
+As I am most familiar with Linux and Python, I elected to do the following exercises.
+
+- [Exercise 1: User Report](user-report)
+- [Exercise 2: Watchdog Script](size-watchdog)
+- [Exercise 4: Condition Testing](condition-testing)
+- [Exercise 5: Log Parsing](python-logs)
