Problem scenario
You want to install Docker, but you want to be sure that the kernel is high enough to be supported.
Solution
The minimum kernel version is stated on Docker’s website. As the spring time of 2017, run this script to find out if your kernel version is high enough:
a=$(uname -r)
b=$(echo $a | awk -F “.” ‘/1/ {print $1}’)
c=$(echo $a | awk -F

Problem scenario
You have a device (e.g., some IoT gadget such as an EZviz camera) that can connect to a network (e.g., via WiFi). But you do not have access to the administration (e.g., back end) of the router itself. You want to learn the IoT device’s MAC address (e.g., for a third party that can grant the device WiFi access). If you administered the router, you could find the MAC address of devices that could connect to the router.

Problem scenario
You want to determine if a variable is being assigned a non-string “true” or “false” data type. That is, you want to distinguish from a string value of true/false and the Boolean, built-in, supported data type of true/false. Some programming languages support Boolean or bit values. Ruby has a number of data types. There is a feature that Ruby supports to test for most of its datatypes. By appending to a variable this “.is_a?”,

Problem scenario: From a CentOS server, you try to ping an IP address outside of your network (e.g., 8.8.8.8). You get “connect: Network is unreachable” as the response. Your server has an IP address and subnet mask. What is wrong?
Solution
1. Ensure that the network has a default gateway. If the network equipment that connects the server to the network has no gateway to outside the network,

Problem scenario
You want to test if a given variable is a Numeric or String. These are built-in data types that Ruby has.
What should you do?
Solution
Append “.is_a? Numeric” or “.is_a? String” to variable. For an example, here is code that explicitly prints out if the data type is a Numeric or String.
var1 = 123
an = var1.is_a? Numeric
as = var1.is_a?
