ASSIGNMENT
Question 1 - Find the count of log statements in the attached file “access.log”
with successful response (status code 200)?

Answer – By using command –

“The successful response log statements with status code 200 are – 18
(HTTP/1.1 = 16 and HTTP/1.0 = 2)”

Minimal Command: cat access.log | grep "200" | wc -l (# Not a better

approach)

It is possible that the string 200 will occur elsewhere in log file. So, we should
ensure that we only match HTTP success code. So that –

Command:

cat access.log | grep 'HTTP/1.1\"\ 200\|HTTP/1.0\"\ 200' | wc -l

Or:

grep -e "HTTP/1.1\"\ 200" -e "HTTP/1.0\"\ 200" access.log | wc -l

We can also find HTTP status 200 using “awk” command but for that log
should be in same format (In access.log file, logs aren’t in same format.)
If logs modified in ["%h %l %u %t "%r" %>s %b "%{Referer}i" "%{User-
agent}i"] this format, This command will find the HTTP status which match
with 200 status.)

Command: awk '($9 ~ /200/)' access.log | wc -l

Question 2 - Write command to find the filenames containing words DEBUG,
ERROR, and INFO in any directory of the filesystem.

Answer –

This will check whole Linux filesystem for the given words (sensitive) and
return filename with relative path (It also return that filename, whose name
contains these words in prefix or suffix) –

Command –

find /* -type f \( -name "*ERROR*" -o -name "*DEBUG*" -o -name "*INFO*" \)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 3 - What would be the sed command to convert the string input
"Ab1Cd2Ef3Gh4Ij5….." to "abcdefghij…."?

Answer –

First remove numerical Integers from string and then convert the string to
required string by changing that in lower case –

Command –

echo “Ab1Cd2Ef3Gh4Ij5…..” | sed 's/[0-9]*//g' | sed 's/[A-Z]/\L&/g'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 4 - Write a shell/python script/program to return true if the opening
and closing braces are complete, otherwise false.

Answer – Using Python –

1. Install the python3 and configure it in your Operating System (taking

Linux)
2. Create a file with name “check-parenthesis.py” using vim editor and
insert this program –

#!/usr/bin/python3

def BalancedBrackets(Str):
# stack for storing opening brackets
stack = []

# Loop for checking string

for char in Str:
# if its opening bracket, so push it in the stack
if char == '{' or char == '(' or char == '[':
stack.append(char)
# else if its closing bracket then check if the stack is empty then
# return false or pop the top most element from the stack
# and compare it
elif char == '}' or char == ')' or char == ']':
if len(stack) == 0:
return False
top_element = stack.pop() # pop
# function to compare whether two
#brackets are corresponding to each other
if not Compare(top_element, char):
return False
# lastly, check that stack is empty or not
if len(stack) != 0:
return False

return True

# Function which compare the top_element and char –

def Compare(opening, closing):
if opening == '(' and closing == ')':
return True
 if opening == '[' and closing == ']':
return True
if opening == '{' and closing == '}':
return True
return False

# Taking Input string from user –

input_string = input("Dear User, Please enter the input string with
parenthesis: ")
print(BalancedBrackets(input_string))

3. Save and exit using “:wq”.

4. Now, we have to give permission to this file for execution so, to provide
permission use:

Command: chmod 777 check-parenthesis.py

5. Now, You can run this script using:

Command: ./check-parenthesis.py

6. Input any string containing parenthesis or not (Taking “{123(456[.768.)}]”)

7. Done – If given string has its opening and closing bracket, It return TRUE
otherwise it return FALSE.

Question 5 - Write steps to create and publish a Docker image to the Docker
repository.

Answer – For creating a Docker Image, There are two ways:

1. By Using Dockerfile (Building Customized Webserver) –

a. Creating an “index.html” file and inserting some html which will be shown
on the homepage (use :wq to exit) –

Command: vim index.html

Html Command:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Assignment</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is the Assignment for the DevOps role.</h1>
<p> You are hitting a container </p>
</body>
</html>

b. Creating Dockerfile through vi editor and insert data (for save and exit : esc
-> :wq) –

Command: vim Dockerfile

Data:

FROM ubuntu:latest
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install apache2 -y
RUN apt-get install apache2-utils -y
RUN apt-get clean
COPY index.html /var/www/html/
EXPOSE 80
CMD ["apache2ctl","-D","FOREGROUND"]
c. Building Docker image from Dockerfile –

Command: docker build -t nirdeshkumar02/webserver:latest .

d. Push this image to docker repository / hub –

# First, we have to login in docker hub and provide username and

password

Command: docker login

# Now, Push this image to docker hub (docker image name should be same
as docker repository)

Command: docker push nirdeshkumar02/webserver:latest

e. Launching the webserver with new customized image –

# Pull image from docker hub and run it on port 80

Command: docker run -d -p 80:80 nirdeshkumar02/webserver:latest

# To see result on web browser –

http://<host-ip>:80

2. From Docker Container (Building Customized Webserver) –

a. First, We pull the latest image of Ubuntu and create container from it –

Command: docker run -it --name webserver ubuntu:latest

b. Now, I’m inside the ubuntu. Update apt –

Command: apt update -y

c. After updating, Install apache2 server –

Command: apt install -y apache2

d. After installing apache2, Install apache2 server – utilities

Command: apt install -y apache2-utils

e. Now, create a webpage at location “/var/www/html/index.html”. and exit

from the container –

Command: vim /var/www/html/index.html

Html Command:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Assignment</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is the Assignment for the DevOps role.</h1>
<p> You are hitting a container </p>
</body>
</html>

# exit from vi editor: “:wq”

# also from container using: exit

f. Now, here, we have container in which apache server is installed and our
page is configured. Now, create a customized Docker image from this
container –

Command: docker commit webserver nirdeshkumar02/webserver:latest

g. Push this image to docker repository / hub –

 # First, we have to login in docker hub and provide username and
password

Command: docker login

# Now, Push this image to docker hub (docker image name should be same
as docker repository)

Command: docker push nirdeshkumar02/webserver:latest

h. Launching the webserver with new customized image –

# Pull image from docker hub and run it on port 80

Command: docker run -d -p 80:80 nirdeshkumar02/webserver:latest

apache2ctl -D FOREGROUND

# To see result on web browser –

http://<host-ip>:80
