If you found the root.txt by exploring via rsy***, it means than someone has forgotten to cleanup.
Ok, perhaps, I did not put it very correctly. Your quote (“Being able to run commands as root on b***** is required, true, no shell is needed.”) is more correct.
Hi all, stuck after the first container. I see other containers; in one of these I get a possible suggestion of what I could try next. I have been trying and failing. Can anyone share with me ideas in PM?
Thanks a lot!

Try checking for permissions 
Finally conquered !
The trajectory is simply magnificent …
the lack of resources on the hosts is simply beautiful, every second was a school !
This box really deserves a medal !
My lengths to the creator and the privileged minds who helped me on this journey!
This box was fun but was also very painful.
stuck on the first container – I can get all the stuff I need on the first container, and I’m seeing something that hints a certain other server has something interesting available, but all my attempts at extracting said interesting information yield nothing, and timing out in a minute or so. Would totally appreciate a nudge on how to look harder, I’m totally running out of ideas.

that box was a great journey, thx to @yuntao, quite different but full of fun.
The only thing I would also suggest as others have already done: Some checkpoints would be nice to get in at a certain point after resets.
PM if you need help.

True… If you ■■■■ up somewhere in the middle… You’re doomed… Lol
Holy Moly, Just rooted!!!
It’s an ultralong journey.
Thanks to my bros for the help
Edit: writing the walkthrough for my own notes is a nightmare by itself… it’s just so so long…
Edit:
NVM, rooted it. Thanks you guys who helped me. 
it was a lovely box, thanks @yuntao
