Before you begin, please consider working with Docker containers instead. Actually, we strongly recommend that. While virtual machines are fine and easy to work with, the container technology will provide a more robust setup for this workshop.
If you experience problems with clipboard sharing between your host machine and your VM, the text dump file of the lesson might be of help. You can download this file directly in your VM using, e.g., the
wgetcommand, and follow along to copy the necessary commands directly from the text file.Finally, please remember that you will find simple work assignments that must be submitted using our assignment form; you have to sign in and click on the submit button in order to save your work. You can come back to edit the form at any time.
