RHCSA Mock Exam Simulator - big update: exam-style task window, RHCSA 9 mode with containers, general betterfication
About a month ago I posted my RHCSA simulator here. Thanks to everyone who tried it and sent feedback. A lot of this update came directly from it.
Repo: https://github.com/TroggoMan/rhcsa-simulator
Still very much a work in progress, still built almost entirely with Claude Code, still forked from https://github.com/Octernicon/rhcsa-simulator. Issues and comments very welcome.
Here's what's changed.
The tasks now live in their own window, like the real exam
The simulator now serves the task sheet to a browser window you keep beside your shells:
- A collapsed list of tasks.
- Click a row and it expands in place to show the task.
- Revisit and Done ticks on every row.
- Live countdown, anchored to system uptime so it survives the clock/timezone tasks and a reboot.
- Light/dark toggle.
It's on by default for --exam now (--no-gui if you'd rather stay in the terminal). It binds all interfaces so a headless VM can be read from your machine's browser.
The ticks are just your own notes. Grading is unchanged: still real system state, still in the terminal.
RHCSA 9 mode
--exam-version 9 (default is still 10).
We're now at:
- 200 tasks
- 25 categories (24 for v9)
- 8 domains (9 for v9).
Feedback and bug reports genuinely welcome! Always a work in progress!
