## 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 lua Lua (/ˈluːə/ LOO-ə; from Portuguese: lua [ˈlu.(w)ɐ] meaning moon)[a] is a lightweight, high-level, multi-paradigm programming language designed primarily for embedded use in applications. Lua is cross-platform, since the interpreter of compiled bytecode is written in ANSI C, and Lua has a relatively simple C API to embed it into applications. Lua was originally designed in 1993 as a language for extending software applications to meet the increasing demand for customization at the time. It provided the basic facilities of most procedural programming languages, but more complicated or domain-specific features were not included; rather, it included mechanisms for extending the language, allowing programmers to implement such features. As Lua was intended to be a general embeddable extension language, the designers of Lua focused on improving its speed, portability, extensibility, and ease-of-use in development. ## Quickstart This is a quickstart guide of howto use this ### 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 >
