## Swarmlab is a collection of services that aims to > - provide teachers and professors with online remote tools to do their lessons > > - give students the opportunity to study real life examples in their chosen area of expertise > > - allow developers to fully test and debug their applications and provide POC’s > > - or you simply want to use a Application (in a microservices-based architecture) > > Swarmlab provides you with all the required tools, tools to teach work or try out demos in a completely virtual environment. > > More info: http://docs.swarmlab.io/SwarmLab-HowTos/swarmlab/docs/swarmlab/docs/index.html ![alt text](images/swarmlab-network.png "") ## LabInstance golang Go (a.k.a., Golang) is a programming language first developed at Google. It is a statically-typed language with syntax loosely derived from C, but with additional features such as garbage collection, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types (e.g., variable-length arrays and key-value maps), and a large standard library. This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of. ## Quickstart This is a quickstart guide of howto use this **Note that this image is somewhat heavy (~1GB). It can take some time to build the Instance. If you think the proccess is frosen you can reload the page in your Browser** ### Default Configuration - Working Directory > /home/docker/project - Default user > docker - Default password > docker - Default password4root > pass ### RUN INSTANCE Swarmlab services can be run in different ways. - You can run them **through the swarmlab hybrid environment** (http://docs.swarmlab.io/SwarmLab-HowTos/swarmlab/docs/swarmlab/docs/hybrid/start-microservices.html) - or use them individually at will on the **command line of your system** #### CLI > git clone ... > > cd [DIRECTORY] > #### help > > make help > #### create service > > make create > #### start service > > make start > #### stop service > > make stop > #### list service > > make list > #### clean service > > make clean >
