LPIC-1 es la primera certificación del programa de certificación profesional del Linux Professional Institute (LPI). LPIC-1 certifica que la persona puede trabajar en línea con los comandos Linux; ejecutar tareas de mantenimiento sencillas: ayudar a los usuarios, añadir cuentas de usuario a un sistema extendido, copias de seguridad y restauración, detener y reinicializar el sistema (reboot). Instalar y configurar una estación de trabajo (que tenga instalado el gestor de ventanas X Window) y conectarlo a una LAN (red local), o a un PC independiente, mediante un módem conectado a Internet.

Vagrant y VirtualBox y luego descomprimimos un fichero mv-lpic1-fhf.zip que contiene un fichero Vagrantfile que construirá 3 máquinas virtuales (centos6, centos7 y debian10):

vagrant up

Dentro de cada máquina, en la carpeta vagrant se puede compartir lo que sea entre las máquinas virtuales y el anfitrión.

Si queremos detener todo el entorno:

vagrant halt

Para ver las máquinas para vagrant (box): https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes

Para eliminar todas las máquinas:

vagrant destroy
