Manage Applications in a Container on a Linux Server (XK0-006)

This lab aligns to CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-006) exam objective 2.6: Given a scenario, manage applications in a container on a Linux server.

By the end of this lab, you will be able to:

  • Prepare a Linux system for container operations using Podman.
  • Create, run, and manage containers including volume mounts and custom images.
  • Configure container networks to enable communication between containers.
  • Deploy multi-container applications using Podman Compose with a YAML configuration file.

Overview

Welcome to the Manage Applications in a Container on a Linux Server lab. In this lab, you will deploy and manage containerized applications on AlmaLinux using Podman, the default rootless-friendly container engine for Red Hat-based distributions. You will pull and run container images, persist data using volumes, build custom images from a Dockerfile, manage running containers, configure container networks, and deploy a multi-container stack using Podman Compose. By the end of this lab, you will be able to manage the full container lifecycle on a Linux server.
