+# Exam preparations
+This repository contains a table of exams I've taken or am planning to take.  
+
+I like to prepare for exams by creating a lab environment and automating the configuration of the lab devices, this is relevant to many of the exams I've taken. This repository contains such code when it does not fit in other projects, or links to projects which I started for the purpose of studying for exams.  
+
+This repository is not to be used as a study guide, this will not be enough to study for an exam. I provide no guarantees that the information here is correct or up to date. This repository merely serves to house my notes and code for my own reference, but making it public might help others get inspiration.

+# EX188: Red Hat Certified Specialist in Containers exam
+For this I'm just going to create some containers using as many of the Containerfile keywords as possible, then run them in different ways with Podman.  
+
+I passed this exam on 2023-08-07. Honestly, if you know where to find the letter "e" on your keyboard to pass env variables to a container, you're 99% of the way there.  
+
+I didn't even need to use Compose for this exam, just to use Podman directly.  
+
+# Exam Practice
+To ensure I'm not sharing exam details, these are notes I took *before* the exam based on studying the exam objectives.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+On Ubuntu:
+```bash
+sudo apt install podman podman-compose
+```
+
+## Commands
+Run a container:
+```bash
+podman run -d --name container-a --restart unless-stopped localhost/container-a
+```
+
+Stop a container:
+```bash
+podman stop container-a
+```
+
+Remove a container:
+```bash
+podman rm container-a
+```
+
+Run a container with a port:
+```bash
+podman run -d --name container-a --restart unless-stopped -p 8080:80 localhost/container-a
+```
+
+Create a volume:
+```bash
+podman volume create volume-a
+```
+
+Run a container with a volume:
+```bash
+podman run -d --name container-a --restart unless-stopped -v volume-a:/data localhost/container-a
+```
+
+Run a container with a bind mount:
+```bash
+podman run -d --name container-a --restart unless-stopped -v /home/user/data:/data localhost/container-a
+```
+
+Create a network:
+```bash
+podman network create network-a
+```
+
+Run a container with a network:
+```bash
+podman run -d --name container-a --restart unless-stopped --network network-a localhost/container-a
+```
+
+Run a container with an environment variable:
+```bash
+podman run -d --name container-a --restart unless-stopped -e VAR_A=VALUE_A localhost/container-a
+```
+
+To create an archive for a container:
+```bash
+podman image save --format oci-archive -o container-a.tar.gz localhost/container-a
+```
+
+Inspect the container image:
+```bash
+podman inspect localhost/container-a
+```
+
+Inspect a running container:
+```bash
+podman inspect example-a_container-a_1
+```
+
+Get the logs from a running container:
+```bash
+podman logs example-a_container-a_1
+```
+
+Execute a command in a running container:
+```bash
+podman exec -it example-a_container-a_1 /bin/bash
+```
+
+Run a compose project:
+```bash
+podman-compose up -d
+```
+
+Stop a compose project:
+```bash
+podman-compose stop
+```
+
+Bring down a compose project:
+```bash
+podman-compose down
+```
