+# Inviscid
+
+Inviscid is a proposed startup that helps small businesses monitor the health
+and performance of their web applications. Customers would use a dashboard to
+see availability, response times, request volume, and error rates, paired with
+plain-language status summaries such as "Your website is responding slowly."
+
+The semester prototype targets one demonstration customer application, building
+on the team's existing Node.js website. Monitoring, the dashboard,
+and deployment automation are **planned work, not completed features**. See the
+Project Proposal chapter of the manual for the full plan and the Prometheus vs.
+VictoriaMetrics comparison.

+|---|---|
+| `devopsAssignment.tex`, `chapters/`, `frontmatter/`, `backmatter/`, `figures/` | The team's LaTeX DevOps IT manual (SSW 590) |
+| `docker/gitea/` | Versioned deployment files for the Gitea work hub (Compose, Caddyfile, deployment README) |
+| `docker/color-buttons/` | Color Buttons demonstration app (Node.js/Express, Dockerfile) |

+
+## Building the manual
+
+The manual uses `minted`, which needs shell escape and the `latexminted`
+helper. Overleaf compiles it as-is. Locally:
+
+```sh
+latexmk -pdf devopsAssignment.tex
+```
+
+`latexmkrc` enables `-shell-escape` and runs `makeglossaries` automatically.
+
+## Team
+
+| Member | Gitea account | Role |
+|---|---|---|
+| Victor | `victor` | Organization owner; site administrator; domain, DNS, and Gitea deployment |
+| Payton | `payton` | Organization owner; HTTPS, firewall, persistence testing, repository workflow |
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Open an issue with a short description and acceptance criteria.
+2. Create a branch from `main`.
+3. Open a pull request into `main` and reference the issue with `Closes #N`.
+4. Request a review from the other team member; merge only after approval.
+5. Confirm the linked issue closed.
+
+## Secrets
+
+Never commit passwords, tokens, private keys, `app.ini`, database files, or
+volume contents. The manual's Passwords table contains hints only.

+
+\subsection{Record 4 --- Guided Execution and Evidence Integration}
+\textbf{Dates:} September 27, 2026.\\
+\textbf{Tool:} OpenAI Codex.\\
+\textbf{Task:} Guide Victor through the Linux setup and Q1--Q40, check supplied
+results against the assignment, review the group chapter, and integrate evidence
+and concise explanations while preserving Payton's existing work.\\
+\textbf{Inputs:} Assignment and problem-set PDFs, the group PDF, supplied
+chapter and supporting LaTeX files, Victor's screenshots, and his terminal
+transcript.\\
+\textbf{Output used:} Command guidance; evidence checks; revised environment
+description; per-question explanations; labeled terminal screenshots; Q15/Q20
+clarifications; explicit Q38 assumptions; history and version updates.\\
+\textbf{Human contribution and review:} Victor executed the commands and supplied
+the resulting screenshots and transcript. Payton supplied the existing setup
+figures and problem-set answers. Codex edited the documentation and checked it
+against the recorded results; it did not generate substitute execution output.
+The team remains responsible for reviewing the additions and compiling the
+combined Overleaf project.\\
+
+\subsection{Record 5 --- AWS Deployment and Proposal Draft}
+\textbf{Dates:} October 1--5, 2026.\\
+\textbf{Tool:} OpenAI Codex.\\
+\textbf{Task:} Guide Victor through AWS account access, EC2 provisioning,
+class-based website development, Docker installation and deployment, then draft
+his chapter from the actual sources and screenshots.\\
+\textbf{Human contribution:} Victor operated AWS, created the application
+files, executed local and remote commands, resolved the repository-key failure
+with guidance, and provided the execution screenshots. Payton is responsible
+for the separate TeX Live compiler exercise and chapter. Both authors will
+review the tool-comparison proposal.\\
+\textbf{Output used:} Command guidance, source code, saved evidence, deployment
+chapter, draft GitHub Actions/Jenkins proposal, metadata, and history updates.
+Codex copied additions into the student's supplied course repository location.\\
+\textbf{Review boundary:} Proposal selection requires team review. Payton's
+compiler work was not present in the inspected repository. Full compilation,
+combined report review, repository publication, and Canvas submission are not
+claimed by this record.
+
+\subsection{Record 6 --- LaTeX Docker Chapter}
+\textbf{Dates:} October 5, 2026.\\
+\textbf{Tool and model:} Anthropic Claude (Opus 5.5).\\
+\textbf{Task:} Guide Payton through building a Docker container that compiles

+propose matching updates to the abstract, \ChapterRef{Introduction},
+\ChapterRef{Hosts}, glossary, metadata, and document history.\\
+\textbf{Inputs:} The assignment brief, Payton's terminal output and screenshots,
+and Overleaf's TeX Live documentation.\\
+\textbf{Output used:} The finalized Dockerfile, \texttt{.dockerignore}, and sample document;
+the chapter draft; proposed replacement text for outdated sections.\\
+\textbf{Human decisions and corrections:} Payton selected Debian's TeX Live packages,
+built and ran the container under WSL, supplied the evidence screenshots,
+and revised the chapter's organization and wording.\\
+\textbf{Review boundary:} The assistant compiled the full report with its own
+TeX Live installation to check the chapter; the image was built and
+run only by Payton. All execution evidence was produced by Payton. The assistant
+edited no repository files.
+
+\subsection{Record 7 --- Inviscid Project Proposal}
+\textbf{Date:} October 6, 2026.\\
+\textbf{Tool:} OpenAI Codex.\\
+\textbf{Task:} Brainstorm Inviscid, refine the metrics-tool comparison and
+research question, and write the approved proposal into the course repository.\\
+\textbf{Inputs:} The assignment outline, instructor clarification, Victor's
+project preferences and corrections, current repository sources, and official
+Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics documentation.\\
+\textbf{Output used:} Project description, sample task, tentative tool choices,
+research question, planned comparison, independent SWOT assessments, and
+supporting document updates.\\
+\textbf{Human decisions and corrections:} Victor approved the monitoring-service
+concept, selected VictoriaMetrics instead of InfluxDB, approved the research
+question, and requested independent SWOT assessments and candidate tools
+explicitly marked undecided.\\
+\textbf{Review boundary:} The monitoring prototype, tool comparison, and
+pipeline remain proposed work. No performance results or completed monitoring
+features are claimed. The combined report still requires final author review
+and compilation before submission.

+\subsection{Record 8 --- Gitea Foundation and Evidence Draft}
+\textbf{Dates:} October 12--15, 2026.\\
+\textbf{Tool:} OpenAI Codex.\\
+\textbf{Task:} Guide Victor through Student Pack application, Docker/SQLite
+Gitea setup, SSH tunneling, Elastic IP association, and Payton's key access;
+prepare the pre-PR documentation from supplied execution evidence.\\
+\textbf{Human contribution:} Victor operated the consoles and terminals,
+created accounts, supplied screenshots, and reported Payton's successful SSH
+connection. Payton's remaining work was not executed by the assistant.\\
+\textbf{Output used:} Non-secret Compose configuration, deployment notes,
+saved screenshots, Gitea chapter draft, and matching inventory, account-hint,
+history, and metadata updates.\\
+\textbf{Corrections and limits:} Documented benefit activation separately from
+academic approval; recorded the current Elastic IP and the unresolved campus
+SSH timeout; did not infer public HTTPS or persistence replacement success
+from local checks. Domain details, renewal and external checks, PR workflows,
+final compilation, and submission remain unverified.
+
+
+\subsection{Record 9 --- Domain, DNS, and Open PR Evidence}
+\textbf{Date:} October 15, 2026.\\
+\textbf{Tool:} OpenAI Codex.\\
+\textbf{Task:} Guide Victor through organization/repository setup, issue-linked
+PR creation, Name.com Student Pack domain redemption, and independent DNS
+verification; document all completed work and its evidence.\\
+\textbf{Human actions:} Victor created the Inviscid organization, assigned both
+authors to Owners, pushed the existing main history, created issue 1, committed
+and pushed documentation, and opened PR 2 requesting Payton's review. Victor
+reported successful Overleaf compilation/review of the earlier draft and
+Payton's working SSH/Gitea access. Victor registered inviscid.dev and executed
+the supplied DNS lookups; the assistant did not perform purchases or DNS writes.\\
+\textbf{Output used:} Procedural guidance, saved non-secret screenshots,
+updated chapter, renewal/account records, and explicit handoff/pending status.\\
+\textbf{Evidence handling and limits:} The order screenshot containing billing
+and contact details was excluded from the repository; free-checkout and domain
+management screenshots provide non-sensitive evidence instead. Public HTTPS,
+renewal tests, external exposure, persistence replacement, Payton's PR review,
+merge/closure, remaining issues/README, and final compilation are not claimed.
+
+\subsection{Record 10 --- HTTPS, Firewall, Persistence, and Report Completion}
+\textbf{Date:} October 13--15, 2026.\\
+\textbf{Tool and model:} Anthropic Claude (Opus 5.5).\\
+\textbf{Task:} Plan Payton's remaining Chapter~2 work; guide security-group
+changes, Caddy and Compose configuration, the renewal, persistence, and
+external exposure tests; draft README edits, the architecture diagram,
+and this chapter's completed sections.\\
+\textbf{Human actions:} Payton ran every console action and command, captured
+all screenshots, chose Caddy, wrote and edited the issues, opened and merged
+PR 7, and reviewed PR 2. Victor reviewed PR 7. The assistant viewed the AWS
+console read-only; it made no AWS, DNS, or Gitea changes.\\
+\textbf{Output used:} Configuration (Caddyfile, Compose additions), README
+edits, TikZ diagram, and chapter text based on Payton's screenshots and
+command output.\\
+\textbf{Evidence handling and limits:} Values in this chapter come from the
+saved screenshots. Team IP addresses are redacted in the text.

+\section{Scope and Platform}
+This chapter records Victor's deployment of the group Color Buttons website.
+The assignment's chapter title is retained; Amazon EC2 replaces the DigitalOcean
+Droplet in this group's implementation. Payton handles the separate TeX Live
+compiler and its chapter. UML diagrams are omitted under the instructor's
+clarification that deployment diagrams are encouraged but optional.
+
+The website is available at \url{http://54.221.175.174} while the instance is
+running. This is an HTTP demonstration site without TLS. Its automatically
+assigned address can change after the instance is stopped and started.
+
+\section{AWS Configuration}
+Victor created the paid AWS account for the group and configured a monthly
+budget alert. No credits were reported. IAM Identity Center provides separate
+Victor and Payton identities in the developers group, assigned an EC2 permission
+set using \texttt{AmazonEC2FullAccess}. Root remains the
+owner's administrative identity; a separate administrator role was not created
+and MFA setup was deferred. The budget is an alert, not a spending cap.

+
+\subsection{Connect and Install Docker}
+From Windows Git Bash:
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+ssh -i "$HOME/Documents/_SIT/_Fall2026/SSW 590 - DevOps/ssw590-victor.pem" ubuntu@54.221.175.174
+\end{minted}
+On the EC2 host:
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+cat /etc/os-release
+uname -m
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl
+sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
+sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+sudo chmod 0644 /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.sources > /dev/null <<EOF
+Types: deb
+URIs: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
+Suites: resolute
+Components: stable
+Architectures: amd64
+Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+EOF
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
+sudo systemctl enable --now docker
+sudo systemctl is-active docker
+sudo docker version
+sudo docker run --rm hello-world
+\end{minted}
+Victor reported successful installation after resolving the repository-key error.
+The procedure follows \url{https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/}.
+
+\subsection{Transfer, Build, and Run}
+In a separate local Git Bash terminal, copy the application:
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+scp -i "$HOME/Documents/_SIT/_Fall2026/SSW 590 - DevOps/ssw590-victor.pem" -r "$HOME/Documents/_SIT/_Fall2026/SSW 590 - DevOps/HW1/HW3/Group-Project/color-buttons" ubuntu@54.221.175.174:
+\end{minted}
+On EC2:
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+cd ~/color-buttons
+sudo docker build -t ssw590-group-buttons .
+sudo docker run -d --name ssw590-group-buttons --restart unless-stopped -p 80:3000 ssw590-group-buttons
+sudo docker ps --filter name=ssw590-group-buttons
+sudo docker logs ssw590-group-buttons
+curl -I http://127.0.0.1
+\end{minted}
+The create command assumes the container name is unused. The restart policy
+allows the running service to resume after a host restart. The application binds
+to all container interfaces, and the AWS security group permits public HTTP.
+Since October 15, 2026, the container no longer publishes port 80; Caddy serves
+it by IP over the private Docker network (\ChapterRef{GiteaFoundation}).
+
+\section{Verification Evidence}
+The terminal screenshot shows container \texttt{70ed56f7fae8} running, the
+\texttt{80->3000/tcp} mapping, the server startup message, and
+\texttt{HTTP/1.1 200 OK}. Public-browser screenshots record the Blue and Red outcomes.
+These figures are supplied execution evidence, not generated illustrations.

+\section{Ownership and Continued Operation}
+Victor owns the AWS account and billing responsibility; both authors share the
+course project. Compute, storage, and public IPv4 usage are chargeable under
+this account. The instance is retained for the working assignment link and
+future labs. Closing SSH does not stop the detached container. Stopping the EC2
+instance takes the website offline and preserves its disk, which remains
+billable; restarting can change the public address. No completed shutdown or
+termination is claimed. Future cleanup and any folder relocation will be
+recorded separately.

+SQLite was selected for the small two-person deployment. It requires no
+separate database service or network port. The database is at
+\path{/data/gitea/gitea.db}, within the same persistent named volume that holds
+application configuration and repository data. The volume exists outside the
+disposable container layer. Generated configuration, database contents, and
+secrets are not stored in the Git repository. SQLite suits this team's size but
+may not fit a larger, higher-concurrency deployment.
+
+\subsection{Container-Replacement Test}
+On October 15 at 21:34 EDT, Payton replaced only the Gitea container, using
+repository \texttt{Inviscid/SSW590-DevOps} and issue \#3 as the recorded data.
+Volumes were not removed:
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+sudo docker compose up -d --force-recreate --no-deps gitea
+\end{minted}
+The container ID changed from \texttt{915c6b6d88d2} to \texttt{82ca41970439},
+confirming that the container and its writable layer were replaced. The same
+volume remained mounted at \path{/data}, the 2.2 MiB database file was still
+present (Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaPersistence}), and the repository and issue \#3
+were unchanged and usable (Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaPersistenceIssue}). The data
+survived because Compose reattached the named volume. This is a persistence
+test, not a backup; see the Architecture and Operation section.

+\section{HTTPS and Certificate Renewal}
+\index{Caddy}\index{Let's Encrypt}
+\subsection{Certificate Options}
+Both options below use Let's Encrypt, a free certificate authority that issues
+90-day certificates through \gls{acme}. A paid or registrar-sold certificate was
+rejected because it needs manual installation and renewal.
+
+\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{L{2.8cm}YY}
+\caption{Certificate Options\label{Table:GiteaCertOptions}}\\
+\toprule \textbf{Criterion} & \textbf{Caddy automatic HTTPS (selected)} & \textbf{certbot with nginx}\\ \midrule
+Issuance and renewal & Built into the proxy; no extra job & Separate certbot client and renewal timer\\
+Configuration & One Caddyfile site block; HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect is automatic & nginx server blocks plus certbot plugin\\
+Containers & One proxy container & Proxy plus certbot, or certbot on the host\\
+Renewal test & No dry-run command; forced reissue used instead & \texttt{certbot renew --dry-run}\\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabularx}
+
+\Gls{caddy} was selected for fewer moving parts and secure defaults. Its main
+drawback is the lack of a dry-run renewal command.
+
+\subsection{TLS Termination and Evidence}
+\gls{tls} terminates at Caddy. Caddy forwards plain HTTP to \texttt{gitea:3000}
+over the private Docker network \texttt{inviscid\_services}; that traffic never
+leaves the instance. Port 80 is open for HTTP-to-HTTPS redirects and ACME
+validation.
+
+Caddy obtained the Let's Encrypt certificate for \texttt{git.inviscid.dev} at
+19:52 EDT on October 15; the current certificate is valid until January 13, 2027
+(90 days). From Payton's laptop, \texttt{http://git.inviscid.dev} returned
+\texttt{308 Permanent Redirect} to \url{https://git.inviscid.dev/}, and the HTTPS
+URL returned HTTP/2 200 (Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaExternalTests}). The
+\texttt{.dev} top-level domain is on browsers' HSTS preload list, so browsers
+never request plain HTTP for this host; the redirect matters for non-browser
+clients and was tested with \texttt{curl}.
+
+\subsection{Renewal Automation and Test}
+Caddy renews managed certificates automatically in the background, by default
+when about one third of the lifetime remains (around mid-December 2026 for
+this certificate). No cron job or manual command is required. Certificate and
+ACME account state persist in \texttt{inviscid\_caddy\_data}, so replacing the
+Caddy container does not force reissuance.
+
+Because Caddy has no dry-run command, Payton forced a reissue by deleting the
+stored certificate and restarting Caddy. This exercises the same unattended
+ACME path that renewal uses:
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+sudo docker compose exec caddy rm -rf \
+  /data/caddy/certificates/acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org-directory/git.inviscid.dev
+sudo docker compose restart caddy
+sudo docker compose logs --since 1m caddy | grep -i obtained
+\end{minted}
+Caddy logged \texttt{certificate obtained successfully} without manual
+intervention, and the serial changed from \texttt{06ADFF\ldots F6A7} to
+\texttt{06CA6A\ldots 034F} with a new validity window
+(Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaRenewal}). This was a forced reissue, not an observed
+natural renewal, and was run once to stay within Let's Encrypt's
+duplicate-certificate limit.
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\centering
+\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figures/gitea/caddy.png}
+\caption{October 15: certificate serial and validity before and after the forced reissue, with Caddy's log entry.}
+\label{Figure:GiteaRenewal}
+\end{figure}
+
+\section{Firewall and External Exposure}
+The only security group attached to the instance is \texttt{ssw590-web-sg}
+(\texttt{sg-0a9eb6dcfc906e78b}); Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaArchitecture} shows the
+resulting network paths. Team source addresses are partially redacted.
+\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{L{1.6cm}L{3.4cm}Y}
+\toprule \textbf{Inbound TCP} & \textbf{Source} & \textbf{Purpose}\\ \midrule
+443 & \texttt{0.0.0.0/0} & HTTPS to Caddy for \texttt{git.inviscid.dev}\\
+80 & \texttt{0.0.0.0/0} & HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect, ACME validation, Color Buttons by IP\\
+22 & \texttt{100.8.x.x/32} & Victor, home\\
+22 & \texttt{155.246.x.x/32} & Victor, campus\\
+22 & \texttt{108.35.x.x/32} & Payton\\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabularx}
+
+Outbound allows all traffic to \texttt{0.0.0.0/0}. The server needs outbound
+access for package and image downloads, DNS, time synchronization, and Let's
+Encrypt; the group is stateful, so replies to allowed inbound connections are
+permitted. The instance has no IPv6 address, so there are no IPv6 rules. Docker
+also binds ports 80 and 443 on IPv6, but they are unreachable without an IPv6
+address. The subnet's network ACL (\texttt{acl-06bdf6081fd8b9d5d}) is the default
+allow-all in both directions, so the security group is the effective filter
+(Figures~\ref{Figure:GiteaFirewall} and~\ref{Figure:GiteaNACL}).
+
+The Color Buttons app from an earlier assignment is still served over plain
+HTTP by IP, which does not meet the hostname-based HTTPS rule. It is kept
+because the instructor expects the instance and this app to stay reachable; it
+no longer publishes its own port, and giving it an HTTPS hostname is future work.
+

+\caption{October 15: default network ACL on the instance's subnet.}
+\label{Figure:GiteaNACL}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Host and Container Exposure}
+Docker-published ports can bypass host firewall (ufw) rules, so the security
+group is the public boundary. Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaPorts} shows that only
+\texttt{docker-proxy} (Caddy) listens on 80 and 443 and \texttt{sshd} on 22.
+Gitea's port 3000 listens on \texttt{127.0.0.1} only, and the Color Buttons
+container and Caddy's admin port 2019 have no host mapping.
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\centering
+\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figures/gitea/ports.png}
+\caption{October 15: Docker port mappings and listening sockets on EC2.}
+\label{Figure:GiteaPorts}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{External Exposure Test}
+Tests ran from Payton's laptop on October 15, outside EC2, using
+\texttt{nc -vz -w 5} and \texttt{curl}:
+\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{L{1.5cm}L{3.3cm}L{2.6cm}Y}
+\toprule \textbf{Port} & \textbf{Source (EDT)} & \textbf{Expected} & \textbf{Actual}\\ \midrule
+443 & \texttt{108.35.x.x}, 21:53 & open & connected; HTTP/2 200\\
+80 & \texttt{108.35.x.x}, 21:53 & open, redirect & connected; 308 to HTTPS; IP returns 200 (Color Buttons)\\
+22 & \texttt{108.35.x.x}, 21:53 & open (allowed) & connected\\
+3000 & \texttt{108.35.x.x}, 21:53 & blocked & timed out\\
+222 & \texttt{108.35.x.x}, 21:53 & blocked & timed out\\
+2019 & \texttt{108.35.x.x}, 21:53 & blocked & timed out\\
+22 & \texttt{174.206.x.x} (phone hotspot), 21:53--21:56 & blocked & timed out\\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabularx}
+All results matched expectations, so no corrections were needed. The laptop was
+switched to the hotspot before the final SSH test; \texttt{checkip} afterwards
+confirmed the hotspot address. Timeouts, rather than refusals, show that the
+security group drops the traffic before it reaches the instance.
+\begin{figure}[htbp]
+\centering
+\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figures/gitea/laptop.png}
+\caption{October 15: external port, redirect, and HTTPS tests from an allowed source and from a non-allowed hotspot.}
+\label{Figure:GiteaExternalTests}
+\end{figure}
+
+HTTPS encrypts connections that the firewall admits; it does not close any
+port. Without the security group, Gitea's port, SSH, or any accidentally
+published container port could be reached directly.
+
+\section{Startup Team Workflow}
+Victor initialized Gitea with site title \texttt{Inviscid}, created the
+\texttt{victor} site administrator, and disabled public self-registration. He
+created a separate regular \texttt{payton} account with a temporary password,
+which Payton changed after first login; no shared Gitea account is used.
+
+\subsection{Organization, Repository, and Roles}
+Victor created organization \texttt{Inviscid} and added \texttt{payton} to its
+Owners team, so both members administer the organization and its repositories
+(Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaOwners}). Victor leads domain, DNS, and deployment
+work; Payton leads HTTPS, firewall, persistence, and repository workflow.
+Victor then pushed the existing project history to the product repository,
+\texttt{Inviscid/SSW590-DevOps}. Its root \texttt{README.md}, added in PR 7,
+describes the product, repository layout, team roles, and contribution workflow
+(Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaReadme}). The organization and repository are at
+\url{https://git.inviscid.dev/Inviscid} and
+\url{https://git.inviscid.dev/Inviscid/SSW590-DevOps}.

+The backlog contains five actionable issues, each with acceptance criteria:
+\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{L{0.6cm}YL{2.1cm}L{2.5cm}}
+\toprule \textbf{\#} & \textbf{Issue} & \textbf{Type} & \textbf{Status}\\ \midrule

+5 & Configure EC2 firewall & Operations & Closed after tests\\
+6 & Version the Color Buttons app in the repository & Product & Open\\

+\subsection{Issue-Linked Pull Requests}
+Gitea numbers issues and pull requests from one sequence, so the two PRs are
+2 and 7.
+
+\paragraph{PR 2 (Victor, reviewed by Payton).} Victor documented the initial
+deployment on branch \texttt{codex/gitea-foundation-docs} and opened PR 2 with
+\texttt{Closes \#1}, requesting Payton's review. Payton reviewed the changes,
+approved, and merged the PR, which closed issue 1
+(Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaPR2}).

+\label{Figure:GiteaPR2}
+\end{figure}
+
+\paragraph{PR 7 (Payton, reviewed by Victor).} Payton authored PR 7 from
+\texttt{payton/caddy-https}. It adds the root README, the Caddy service and
+Caddyfile, the HTTPS URL settings, and the updated deployment README, with
+\texttt{Closes \#3} and \texttt{Closes \#4}. Victor reviewed and approved it,
+and Payton merged it as commit \texttt{1d7c528795}, which closed both issues
+(Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaPR7}). The initial \texttt{main} push is not counted
+as a reviewed merge.

+\section{Architecture and Operation}
+Figure~\ref{Figure:GiteaArchitecture} shows the deployed request and data paths.
+\begin{figure}[htbp]

+\resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{\input{figures/devopsGiteaFoundation/giteaArchitecture}}
+\caption{October 15: deployed architecture. The security group admits 443 and 80 from any source and 22 only from approved team addresses. Caddy is the only container publishing host ports; Gitea, the Color Buttons app, and both data volumes are private.}
+\label{Figure:GiteaArchitecture}
+\end{figure}
+
+\paragraph{Where data lives.} Repositories, attachments, Gitea configuration,
+and the SQLite database (\path{/data/gitea/gitea.db}) live in the named volume
+\texttt{inviscid\_gitea\_data}. Certificates and the ACME account live in
+\texttt{inviscid\_caddy\_data} (with \texttt{inviscid\_caddy\_config}). All
+three volumes are on the instance's EBS disk, outside the disposable container
+layers. Deployment files are versioned in \path{docker/gitea/} of the repository.
+
+\paragraph{Public and private interfaces.} Public: TCP 443 (HTTPS to Caddy) and
+TCP 80 (redirect to HTTPS, ACME validation, and the Color Buttons app by IP),
+both from any source. Restricted: TCP 22 (administrative SSH) from approved team
+addresses only. Private: Gitea's port 3000 (reachable only on the Compose network
+and EC2 loopback, for SSH-tunnel administration), the Color Buttons container's
+port 3000, Caddy's admin port 2019, and the SQLite file, which has no network port.
+
+\paragraph{Restart and troubleshooting.} From \path{~/gitea} on EC2:
+\begin{minted}{bash}
+sudo docker compose ps
+sudo docker compose logs --tail=40 caddy
+sudo docker compose logs --tail=40 gitea
+sudo docker compose restart gitea   # or caddy; volumes are kept
+\end{minted}
+If \url{https://git.inviscid.dev} fails, check in order: (1) both services are
+running; (2) the Caddy log shows no certificate or upstream errors; (3) the Gitea
+log shows it listening on port 3000; (4) \texttt{curl -I http://127.0.0.1:3000/}
+on EC2 returns 200, which isolates Gitea from Caddy; (5) DNS still resolves to
+the Elastic IP and the security group still admits 443.
+
+\paragraph{Persistence test versus backup/restore.} The container-replacement
+test shows that data survives when the Gitea \emph{container} is discarded,
+because the named volume is reattached. It does not protect against loss of the
+volume, the EBS disk, or the instance, and it creates no copy elsewhere. A
+backup/restore test would copy the volume and database to separate storage and
+prove recovery into a different instance; that optional exercise was not
+performed.
+
+\paragraph{Costs and cleanup.} Victor owns the class AWS environment; compute,
+EBS, and public IPv4 are billable and covered by budget alerts rather than a
+spending cap. End-of-course cleanup must include the instance, unneeded storage,
+and release of the Elastic IP; stopping the instance alone is not full cleanup.
+The domain renews automatically on October 15, 2027 unless auto-renewal is
+turned off.
+
+\section{Manual Quality and Controls}
+This version updates the Hosts and Passwords tables, as recorded in the
+document history. No passwords, private keys, database contents, or generated
+\texttt{app.ini} are included, and team IP addresses are redacted. Material AI
+help is recorded in \ChapterRef{AIPromptLog}.
+
+\paragraph{Failed attempts and corrective actions.}
+\begin{itemize}[nosep]
+\item Victor's SSH from campus timed out after his public IP changed; a
+campus-specific rule was added, and his later access succeeded.
+\item Payton's first SSH login failed (\texttt{Permission denied (publickey)});
+Victor authorized Payton's public key.
+\item EC2 Instance Connect failed because the team's AWS role lacks
+\texttt{ec2-instance-connect:SendSSHPublicKey}; the temporary security-group
+rule added for it was removed immediately.
+\item Caddy could not use port 80 while Color Buttons published it; the app was
+moved behind Caddy on the private network.
+\item The server's \texttt{compose.yaml} differed from the repository copy by a
+stray Windows line ending; the file was rewritten with LF endings, and the
+checksums now match.

-rules govern access to the Linux hosts once they are provisioned.
-
-\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
-\item Interactive access is by \gls{ssh} public key only.
-      Password authentication is disabled in the server configuration.
-      The local account password recorded in \ChapterRef{Passwords} authenticates \texttt{sudo} only.

-      receives a separate named account rather than a shared login, so that
-      access can be revoked individually and actions remain attributable.

 \section{Cost and Cleanup}
 \index{hosts!cost}
 \index{hosts!teardown}
-The Linux hosts are expected to run on the smallest instance size that supports
-the coursework, under whatever free-tier or credit allowance the account
-provides, with a billing alarm configured before the first instance is
-launched. Compute is billed per instance-hour, and attached storage whether or
-not the instance is running, so each additional host adds cost independently of
-how heavily it is used: provisioning \texttt{ssw590-build-01} alongside
-\texttt{ssw590-dev-01} would approximately double the compute cost of the
-environment. It is therefore left unprovisioned until an assignment requires
-builds to be isolated from the deployment target, and would be stopped between
-uses rather than run continuously; only \texttt{ssw590-dev-01} needs to remain
-available at all times.
+\texttt{ssw590-group-web} runs on a \texttt{t3.micro} instance and is covered
+by a monthly AWS budget alert. Compute is billed per
+instance-hour, and attached storage and the public IPv4 address are billed as
+well, so each additional host adds cost independently of how heavily it is
+used: provisioning \texttt{ssw590-build-01} would approximately double the
+compute cost of the environment. It is therefore left unprovisioned unless
+required in the future, and would be stopped between uses rather than run continuously.
 
-Each planned host is disposable. Teardown consists of terminating the instance,
-deleting the attached storage volume, and releasing any static address reserved
-for it; a static address left reserved after the instance is gone continues to
-be billed. Because the \gls{ami} and the configuration steps are recorded, a
-terminated host can be rebuilt rather than preserved, which is why teardown is
-treated as routine rather than exceptional.
+Course hosts are disposable. Teardown consists of terminating the instance and
+deleting its storage volume. \texttt{ssw590-group-web} uses Elastic IP \texttt{100.49.80.94}, associated on October 12, 2026.
+Release that allocation when no longer required; stopping or terminating an
+instance alone does not release the Elastic IP.

+\section{Purpose and Scope}
+This chapter records a Docker container that compiles a
+\LaTeX\ document with \gls{texlive}, the distribution Overleaf uses to compile
+projects.\footnote{\url{https://www.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Overleaf_and_TeX_Live}}
+Like Overleaf, it drives pdf\LaTeX\ with \texttt{latexmk}, which reruns the
+engine until cross-references settle.
+
+The container is a command-line compiler. It reads a
+\texttt{.tex} file from a mounted folder, writes the PDF back to that folder,
+and exits. It opens no network ports. The image is not deployed to a course
+host or published to a registry; it was built and tested locally under WSL on
+Payton's workstation.
+
+\section{Design}
+\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{L{3.6cm}Y}
+\toprule \textbf{Decision} & \textbf{Choice and rationale}\\ \midrule
+Base image & \texttt{debian:trixie-slim}. Debian packages its TeX Live release, so the image needs no separate TeX Live installer or mirror.\\
+TeX Live packages & \texttt{texlive-latex-base}, \texttt{texlive-latex-recommended}, \texttt{texlive-fonts-recommended}, and \texttt{lmodern}, installed without recommended extras. This covers common packages such as \texttt{amsmath}, \texttt{hyperref}, and \texttt{booktabs} while avoiding the multi-gigabyte full distribution.\\
+Build driver & \texttt{latexmk} with pdf\LaTeX, nonstop mode, and halt on the first error, so a failed compile returns a nonzero exit status.\\
+Interface & The entrypoint is the compiler; the default argument is \texttt{hello.tex}, and any other file name can be passed to \texttt{docker run}.\\
+Source and output & The document folder is bind-mounted at \path{/work}, so sources are not baked into the image and the PDF is written to the host.\\
+Privilege & The image defaults to an unprivileged \texttt{latex} user; at run time the container uses the invoking user's IDs so output files are owned by that user. The font cache is kept in \path{/tmp}, outside the mounted folder.\\

+
+\section{Purpose}
+This chapter records a set of Linux shell commands run in the authors' working
+user directories, and the solutions to the accompanying problem set.
+The setup figures reproduce Payton's terminal session. Section~\ref{Section:LinuxEvidence}
+adds Victor's actual problem-set execution screenshots as \gls{evidence}.
+The command answers in Section~\ref{Section:LinuxSolutions} describe solutions;
+where Victor used a different command, the difference is identified rather than
+presented as an execution of the exact answer shown.
+
+\section{Environment}
+\index{Linux!environment}
+The setup figures were recorded by Payton as user \texttt{payton} on
+Ubuntu~24.04 under \gls{wsl}, in a \texttt{bash} shell.
+Victor independently performed the setup and problem set on September 27, 2026,
+as user \texttt{victor} on host \texttt{Victori7}, running Ubuntu~24.04.3 LTS
+under WSL~2. His working directory was \texttt{/home/victor/lx-test}.
+The session was recorded with \texttt{script}; its original transcript is retained
+with the evidence files. Normal commands ran without elevated privileges;
+\texttt{sudo} was used for the append-only attribute in Q20.
+
+\section{Working Directory Setup}
+\index{Linux!working directory setup}
+Figure~\ref{Figure:LxTestSetup} shows the executed setup commands in the order given by
+the assignment. Figure~{\ref{Figure:LxTestDirectories}} shows the resulting directory structure,
+and Figure~{\ref{Figure:LxTestFiles}} shows the resulting file contents.
+
+\subsection{What the Commands Do}
+\index{Linux!command explanations}
+\begin{sloppypar}
+\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+\item \texttt{mkdir -p \textasciitilde/lx-test \&\& cd \textasciitilde/lx-test}
+      creates the directory, along with any missing parent directories, and does
+      not fail if it already exists. The \texttt{\&\&} operator runs \texttt{cd}
+      only if \texttt{mkdir} succeeds.
+\item \texttt{printf "\ldots" > \textit{file}} writes the string to a file,
+      turning each \texttt{\textbackslash n} into a newline. The \texttt{>}
+      redirection creates the file or overwrites it if it already exists.
+      \texttt{printf} is used instead of \texttt{echo} for predictable formatting of these strings and newlines, avoiding
+      shell-dependent behavior of \texttt{echo}.
+\item \texttt{dd} with \texttt{if=/dev/zero}, \texttt{of=blob.bin},
+      \texttt{bs=1K}, and \texttt{count=48} copies $48$ blocks of
+      $1\,\mathrm{KiB}$ from \texttt{/dev/zero}, producing a file of
+      $48 \times 1024 = 49152$ zero bytes.
+\item \texttt{mkdir -p src/lib tmp archive} creates three directories in one
+      command; \texttt{-p} creates \texttt{src} as the parent of \texttt{lib}.
+\item \texttt{ln -s src/file1.txt link-to-file1} creates a symbolic link. The
+      stored target is the relative path \texttt{src/file1.txt}, which is
+      resolved relative to the directory that contains the link.
+\item \texttt{touch -t 202401020304 old.txt} creates \texttt{old.txt} with a
+      modification time of 2024-01-02 03:04 in local time.
+\item \texttt{ls -lA} lists each named directory in long format, including
+      hidden entries but omitting \texttt{.} and \texttt{..}.
+      \texttt{head} prints the first ten lines of each file under a
+      file name header; every file here is shorter than ten
+      lines, so each is shown in full.
+\end{itemize}
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+\subsection{Interpretation of Results}
+\index{Linux!result interpretation}
+Figure~\ref{Figure:LxTestDirectories} confirms each step of the setup:
+\begin{itemize}[leftmargin=*]
+\item \textbf{File sizes:} \texttt{blob.bin} is $49152$ bytes, as computed
+      above. Each text file's size equals its characters plus one byte per newline.
+\item \textbf{Symbolic link:} \texttt{link-to-file1} has type \texttt{l} and
+      points to \texttt{src/file1.txt}.
+\item \textbf{Timestamp:} \texttt{old.txt} is empty and shows the modified timestamp (\texttt{Jan~2~2024}).
+\item \textbf{Directories:} \texttt{archive}, \texttt{tmp}, and
+      \texttt{src/lib} show no entries in the \texttt{ls -lA} listing, confirming they are empty
+      (\texttt{total 0} alone would not prove this).
+\item \textbf{Permissions:} New files are \texttt{rw-r--r--} ($644$) and new
+      directories are \texttt{rwxr-xr-x} ($755$).

+\section{Problem Set Solutions}
+\label{Section:LinuxSolutions}
+\index{Linux!problem set}
+
+\subsection{Navigation and File Operations}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*]
+\item Show your present working directory path only.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ pwd
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{pwd} prints only the current directory; Victor's result was \texttt{/home/victor/lx-test}.
+
+\item List all entries in the current directory, one per line, including dotfiles.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ ls -1a
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-1} places each entry on a separate line; \texttt{-a} includes dotfiles and the \texttt{.} and \texttt{..} entries.
+
+\item Copy \texttt{src/file1.txt} to \texttt{tmp/} only if \texttt{tmp} exists; do it verbosely.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ [ -d tmp ] && cp -v src/file1.txt tmp/
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The directory test prevents copying when \texttt{tmp} is absent; \texttt{-v} reports the source and destination. Victor's output confirms the copy.
+
+\item Move \texttt{old.txt} into \texttt{archive/} and keep its original timestamp.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ mv old.txt archive/
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Moving within this working tree preserves the file's modification time. Victor verified that the timestamp remained January 2, 2024 at 03:04 local time.
+
+\item Create a new empty file \texttt{notes.md} only if it doesn't already exist.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ [ -e notes.md ] || touch notes.md
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The existence test avoids touching an existing file. Victor used the equivalent conditional \texttt{if} form and verified that the newly created file was zero bytes.
+
+\item Show disk usage (human-readable) for the \texttt{src} directory only (not total FS).
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ du -sh src
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-s} reports one directory total and \texttt{-h} uses readable units. Victor observed \texttt{16K}; allocated disk usage includes directory storage and is not simply text length.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Viewing and Searching}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item Print line numbers while displaying \texttt{sys.log}.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ cat -n sys.log
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{cat -n} numbers displayed lines. Victor used \texttt{nl -ba}, which also numbered all four lines in this file.
+
+\item Show only the lines in \texttt{sys.log} that contain \texttt{ERROR} (case-sensitive).
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ grep 'ERROR' sys.log
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Without \texttt{-i}, matching is case-sensitive. The result was \texttt{ERROR fan fail}.
+
+\item Count how many distinct words appear in \texttt{words.txt} (case-insensitive).
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < words.txt | sort -u | wc -l
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Each input line contains one word. Lowercasing before sorting and deduplication treats \texttt{Gamma} and \texttt{gamma} as one value; the resulting count was three.
+
+\item From \texttt{words.txt}, show lines that start with \texttt{g} or \texttt{G}.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ grep '^[gG]' words.txt
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The anchor \texttt{\^{}} restricts the match to the start of the line, and \texttt{[gG]} accepts either case. The two matches were \texttt{Gamma} and \texttt{gamma}.
+
+\item Display the first 2 lines of \texttt{people.csv} without using an editor.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ head -n 2 people.csv
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The first two lines are the header and the first data row: \texttt{id,name,dept} and \texttt{1,Ada,EE}.
+
+\item Show the last 3 lines of \texttt{sys.log} and keep following if the file grows.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ tail -n 3 -f sys.log
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-n 3} selects the last three lines; \texttt{-f} keeps following. Victor captured the initial three lines, then stopped following with Ctrl+C. No later appended-line test is claimed.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Text Processing}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item From \texttt{people.csv}, print only the name column (2nd), excluding the header.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ tail -n +2 people.csv | cut -d, -f2
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{tail} skips the header and \texttt{cut} selects the comma-separated second field. Victor's equivalent \texttt{awk} command returned Ada, Linus, Grace, and Dennis.
+
+\item Sort \texttt{words.txt} case-insensitively and remove duplicates.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ sort -fu words.txt
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-f} ignores case during comparison and \texttt{-u} removes duplicates. Victor's output was alpha, beta, and Gamma; the retained spelling need not be lowercased.
+
+\item Replace every \texttt{three} with \texttt{3} in all files under \texttt{src/} in-place, creating \texttt{.bak} backups.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ find src/ -type f ! -name '*.bak' -exec sed -i.bak 's/three/3/g' {} +
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{find} visits regular files recursively, excluding existing backups; \texttt{sed}'s \texttt{g} replaces every occurrence on each line. The original files are saved with the \texttt{.bak} suffix. Victor verified both edited content and original backups. Run once to avoid replacing the original backups on a later run.
+
+\item Print the number of lines, words, and bytes for every \texttt{*.txt} file in \texttt{src/}.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ wc src/*.txt
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+By default, \texttt{wc} reports lines, words, and bytes. After Q15, Victor observed \texttt{1 4 15} and \texttt{1 4 16}, totaling \texttt{2 8 31}. Backup filenames do not match \texttt{*.txt}.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Permissions and Ownership}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item Make \texttt{tmp/} readable, writable, and searchable only by the owner.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ chmod 700 tmp/
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Mode \texttt{700} gives the owner read, write, and directory-search permissions, with none for group or others. Victor verified \texttt{drwx------}.
+
+\item Give group execute permission to \texttt{src/lib} recursively without touching others/owner bits.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ chmod -R g+x src/lib
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{g+x} adds only group execute; \texttt{-R} applies recursively. Victor's before/after value remained \texttt{755} because group execute was already enabled.
+
+\item Show the numeric (octal) permissions of \texttt{src/file2.txt}.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ stat -c '%a' src/file2.txt
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{\%a} requests octal permissions. Victor observed \texttt{644}: owner read/write, group and others read-only.
+
+\item Make \texttt{notes.md} append-only for the owner via file attributes (if supported).
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ chmod 600 notes.md
+$ sudo chattr +a notes.md
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Mode \texttt{600} limits ordinary access to the owner. The \texttt{a} attribute separately makes the file append-only; it is a file attribute, not an owner-specific permission bit. Victor's filesystem supported it: \texttt{lsattr} showed \texttt{a}, and \texttt{stat} showed \texttt{600}.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Links and Find}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item Verify whether \texttt{link-to-file1} is a symlink and show its target path.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ [ -L link-to-file1 ] && readlink link-to-file1
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-L} checks the link itself and \texttt{readlink} prints its stored target. Victor confirmed \texttt{src/file1.txt}.
+
+\item Find all regular files under the current tree larger than 40~KiB.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ find . -type f -size +40k
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The size test selects regular files larger than 40 KiB. Victor used the equivalent byte threshold \texttt{+40960c}, printing \texttt{./blob.bin} with 49,152 bytes.
+
+\item Find files modified in the last 10 minutes under \texttt{tmp/} and print their sizes.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ find tmp/ -type f -mmin -10 -printf '%p %s\n'
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-mmin -10} selects recent modifications; \texttt{\%s} prints bytes. Victor's command returned no matches because no regular file under \texttt{tmp/} met that time window.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Processes and Job Control}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item Show your processes in a tree view.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ pstree -p "$USER"
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{pstree -p} shows process relationships and PIDs for the specified user. Victor instead recorded his own processes with \texttt{ps -u} and \texttt{--forest}, exposing the shell, recording process, and child shell hierarchy.
+
+\item Start \texttt{sleep 120} in the background and show its PID.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ sleep 120 & echo $!
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The ampersand starts a background job; \texttt{\$!} is its PID. Victor captured and printed PID 2476 in his session; PIDs vary between executions.
+
+\item Send a TERM signal to all \texttt{sleep} processes owned by you (don't use \texttt{kill -9}).
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ pkill -TERM -u "$USER" -x sleep
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-u} restricts matches to the current user's processes and \texttt{-x} requires the exact name. Victor first checked for unrelated sleep processes, then terminated the test process. Waiting for it returned status 143 (128 + SIGTERM 15), and a final process search returned no matches.
+
+\item Show the top 5 processes by memory usage (one-shot, not interactive).
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -n 6
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Descending memory percentage puts the largest consumers first; six output lines include one header and five processes. Victor used descending resident-memory size (RSS in KiB) instead; his largest displayed process was \texttt{snapd} at 41,208 KiB.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Archiving and Compression}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item Create a gzipped tar archive \texttt{src.tgz} from \texttt{src/} with relative paths.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ tar -czf src.tgz src/
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-c} creates, \texttt{-z} compresses with gzip, and \texttt{-f} names the archive. The relative \texttt{src/} operand stores relative member paths.
+
+\item List the contents of \texttt{src.tgz} without extracting.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ tar -tzf src.tgz
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{-t} lists members without extraction. Victor's archive contained the two text files, their backups, and the \texttt{src/lib/} directory.
+
+\item Extract only \texttt{file2.txt} from \texttt{src.tgz} into \texttt{tmp/}.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ tar -xzvf src.tgz -C tmp/ --strip-components=1 src/file2.txt
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The named member limits extraction to one file, \texttt{-C} selects the destination, and stripping one path component produces \texttt{tmp/file2.txt}. Victor verified matching content with \texttt{cmp}.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Networking and System Information}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item Show all listening TCP sockets with associated PIDs (no root assumptions).
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ ss -ltnp
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The flags select listening TCP sockets, numeric addresses, and process details when permitted. Victor saw two loopback listeners on port 53; the process column was blank in his unprivileged invocation, so no associated PIDs are claimed.
+
+\item Print your default route (gateway) in a concise form.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ ip route show default
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Victor's default route used gateway \texttt{172.23.224.1} through \texttt{eth0}. This is a local environment result, not a fixed gateway for every machine.
+
+\item Display kernel name, release, and machine architecture.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ uname -srm
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The requested fields identify the kernel and architecture. Victor observed Linux, release \texttt{6.18.33.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2}, and \texttt{x86\_64}.
+
+\item Show the last 5 successful logins (or last sessions) on the system.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ last -n 5
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Victor's last five available records were reboot/system-boot sessions rather than individual user logins. The record type is retained as shown; no successful user authentications are inferred.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Packages and Services (Debian/Ubuntu)}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item Show the installed version of package \texttt{coreutils}.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' coreutils
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The query reads installed-package metadata. Victor also printed the package name and observed \texttt{coreutils 9.4-3ubuntu6.3}.
+
+\item Search available packages whose names contain \texttt{ripgrep}.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ apt-cache search --names-only ripgrep
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The search checks package names in the local catalog. It found \texttt{ripgrep}; availability in the catalog does not establish that the package is installed.
+
+\item Check whether service \texttt{cron} is active and print its status line only.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ systemctl status cron | grep 'Active:'
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+Filtering the detailed status selects its Active line. Victor used \texttt{systemctl is-active cron}, a concise active-state query, and recorded \texttt{active}.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Bash and Scripting}
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\arabic*., leftmargin=*, resume]
+\item Write a one-liner that loops over \texttt{*.txt} in \texttt{src/} and prints: : .
+\textbf{Assumption:} the intended output is each file's name and line count, since
+the supplied problem PDF displays an incomplete output format.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ for f in src/*.txt; do echo "$f: $(wc -l < "$f")"; done
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+For the stated line-count assumption, \texttt{wc -l} counts each file's lines and the loop prefixes its name. Victor's captured command instead printed filename and contents under a different interpretation of the incomplete prompt; Figure~\ref{Figure:HW2-J} documents that alternative.
+
+\item Write a command that exports CSV rows where \texttt{dept == "CS"} to \texttt{cs.txt} (exclude header).
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ awk -F, 'NR>1 && $3=="CS"' people.csv > cs.txt
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+The field separator is a comma; \texttt{NR>1} skips the header and field three selects CS. Victor verified that \texttt{cs.txt} contained \texttt{2,Linus,CS} and \texttt{4,Dennis,CS}.
+
+\item Create a variable \texttt{X} with value 42, print it, then remove it from the environment.
+\begin{lstlisting}[style=cmd]
+$ export X=42; echo "$X"; unset X
+\end{lstlisting}
+\nopagebreak[4]
+\texttt{export} adds the variable to the shell's exported environment; \texttt{unset} removes it. Victor printed \texttt{X=42}, then verified its absence using \texttt{printenv}.
+
+\end{enumerate}
+

+
+\section{Inviscid: Simple Monitoring for Small Web Services}
+Inviscid is a proposed customer-facing startup that helps small businesses
+monitor the health and performance of their web applications. Customers would
+use a dashboard to view availability, response times, request volume, and
+error rates. The service would pair these measurements with plain-language
+status summaries, such as ``Your website is responding slowly,'' to help
+customers recognize problems without requiring extensive monitoring expertise.
+
+The semester prototype will focus on one demonstration customer application,
+building on our existing Node.js website. The broader startup concept is a
+future direction; customer account management and support for multiple
+customers are outside the initial prototype. Our current proof of concept is
+the Dockerized Color Buttons website deployed on AWS, documented in
+\ChapterRef{CloudDockerDeployment}. Monitoring and deployment automation are
+proposed work rather than completed features.
+
+\subsection{Sample Customer Task}
+A customer opens the Inviscid dashboard to check their website's health.
+During a controlled demonstration, we will generate normal traffic and then
+introduce slow responses or failed requests in the sample application. The
+dashboard should display the resulting changes in response times and error
+rates, accompanied by a short status summary explaining the problem.
+
+\section{Proposed Development and Operations Tools}
+GitHub will provide source control and collaboration, and AWS will provide
+the deployment environment. Table~\ref{Table:InviscidTools} lists the planned
+stack. Entries marked undecided are candidates, not commitments; the team
+may revise them as implementation requirements become clearer.
+

+Dashboard & Grafana or a simple custom dashboard; undecided.\\
+Automated testing & Node.js's built-in test runner and a traffic-generation script; undecided.\\
+Deployment automation & GitHub Actions for a manually triggered build, test, and deployment workflow; undecided.\\
+Customer/settings database & Amazon DynamoDB, if persistent customer configuration is needed; undecided. Metrics will be stored in the selected metrics backend.\\
+Security checks & GitHub Dependabot and automated dependency checks; undecided.\\
+\end{tabularx}
+
+Our longer-term goal is a deployment pipeline that can be initiated with one
+button press. The proposal does not claim that this pipeline is implemented.
+
+\section{Research Question and Planned Comparison}
+\begin{quote}
+How do Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics compare as metrics backends for
+Inviscid's prototype in terms of configuration effort, dashboard integration,
+query response time, and CPU, memory, and storage usage?
+\end{quote}
+
+We selected these tools because both can collect and query application metrics,
+and VictoriaMetrics can scrape Prometheus-compatible endpoints. This allows
+us to reuse the instrumented application while investigating different
+backend implementations. Prometheus includes metric scraping, PromQL queries,
+and alert-rule evaluation. VictoriaMetrics provides metric collection and
+storage with MetricsQL queries; alert-rule evaluation uses a separate component
+such as \texttt{vmalert}. Supported configuration options and query behavior
+will be checked rather than assumed identical.
+
+We plan to compare Prometheus with single-node VictoriaMetrics using the same
+application, metrics, traffic workload, collection interval, retention period,
+and equivalent AWS resources. Configuration effort will be documented through
+setup steps and difficulties; dashboard integration through the work required
+to display equivalent measurements. Repeated equivalent queries and controlled
+traffic will support measurements of query response time and CPU, memory,
+and storage usage. Results will apply to the tested prototype and workload;
+we will not assume that either tool is faster or more resource-efficient.
+
+\section{Preliminary SWOT Analysis}
+Table~\ref{Table:InviscidSWOT} evaluates each tool independently in the context
+of Inviscid. Strengths and weaknesses describe tool characteristics;
+opportunities and threats describe possible circumstances affecting its use.
+These are preliminary assessments, not measured experimental results.

+Strengths & Established open-source ecosystem; built-in metric collection and alert-rule evaluation; expressive PromQL query language. & Simple single-node deployment; built-in metric collection and storage; flexible MetricsQL query language and multiple supported ingestion formats.\\
+Weaknesses & Local storage is neither clustered nor replicated; operating at larger scales requires additional architecture. & Alert-rule evaluation requires a separate component; the single-node deployment depends on one server for availability.\\
+Opportunities & Inviscid could extend monitoring to containers and infrastructure through its existing exporter ecosystem. & Inviscid could accept metrics from different customer environments through its supported ingestion formats.\\
+Threats & Rapid growth in customer metrics could exceed available resources and increase operating costs. & Customers requiring uninterrupted monitoring could necessitate a cluster deployment, increasing infrastructure and maintenance costs.\\

+\section{Technical Sources}
+The technical characteristics above are based on the following official
+documentation, consulted October 6, 2026. Opportunities and threats are the
+team's project-specific assessments. Specific tool versions will be recorded
+when the comparison is implemented.

+The official image version is pinned.
+SQLite is `/data/gitea/gitea.db`; repositories and other application data share the
+persistent named volume `inviscid_gitea_data`.
+Never run `docker compose down --volumes` against the working service.
+
+Only Caddy publishes host ports (80 and 443). Caddy terminates TLS and forwards to
+`gitea:3000` over the private `inviscid_services` network. Gitea's port 3000 is also
+bound to EC2 loopback only, for SSH-tunnel administration.
+The Color Buttons container (`ssw590-group-buttons`) no longer publishes port 80; it
+runs on `inviscid_services` and Caddy serves it at http://100.49.80.94.
+No public backend or Git SSH firewall rule is needed.
+
+From this directory on EC2:
+
+```sh
+sudo docker compose config --quiet
+sudo docker compose pull
+sudo docker compose up -d
+sudo docker compose ps
+```
+
+`Caddyfile` must be in this directory before `up`; if it is missing, Docker creates a
+directory in its place and Caddy fails to start. Caddy obtains and renews the
+Let's Encrypt certificate automatically; certificate state persists in the
+`inviscid_caddy_data` and `inviscid_caddy_config` volumes.
+
+The Color Buttons container is managed outside Compose. To recreate it without a
+published port:
+
+```sh
+sudo docker run -d --name ssw590-group-buttons --restart unless-stopped \
+  --network inviscid_services ssw590-group-buttons
+```
+
+For private browser access, use your own authorized key:
+
+```sh
+ssh -i /path/to/your-private-key -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -N -L 127.0.0.1:3000:127.0.0.1:3000 ubuntu@100.49.80.94
+```
+
+Open http://localhost:3000 while the tunnel stays open. Each team member must
+have their public key authorized and their source IP allowed for administrative SSH.
+
+Keep passwords, app.ini, database files, and volume contents out of Git and screenshots.

-This document records the development-environment configuration for the first
-SSW 590 assignment. It describes the Kanban board used to plan and track the
-work, the hosts the environment will comprise, and the password rules that 
-will govern accounts on those hosts. The environment is specified here as a
-plan; provisioning and its supporting evidence are deferred to a later
-submission. Password rules are recorded as derivation hints, so that no
-credential appears in this document.
+This document records the development environment and working practices used
+in SSW 590. It is extended with each assignment, and the document history
+identifies what each revision changed. Its chapters currently cover planning and tracking
+the work, the hosts and accounts that make up the environment, and the
+command-line and operational work performed in it. The host inventory
+distinguishes machines in service from those still planned.
+Assignment 3 adds the class-based Color Buttons application deployed in Docker
+on Amazon EC2, with public browser and terminal verification evidence;
+a Docker container that compiles \LaTeX\ documents as Overleaf does;
+and the Inviscid monitoring-service proposal, including a planned comparison
+of Prometheus and VictoriaMetrics.
+
+Assignment 4 records the persistent Gitea service on the existing EC2 host,
+Elastic IP association, and separate team access. It also records Student Pack
+domain redemption, inviscid.dev registration and independently verified DNS,
+organization ownership, repository import, and the first open issue-linked PR.
+It also records Caddy-terminated HTTPS with a Let's Encrypt certificate and
+renewal test, the EC2 security group with external exposure tests, a
+container-replacement persistence test, the product backlog, and two reviewed,
+issue-linked pull requests.
