Welcome to Swarmlab-hybrid!
You are now
connected to the local Swarmlab client.
That means that
at the moment you are offline and can only
work locally on your PC.
To
connect to the server and built on-demand network environments
visit the "https://git.swarmlab.io:3000/swarmlab/venus-client" and install "Venus".
DISCLAMER:
When connecting to the server
your host is becoming part of a network of multiple other computers that are also connected.
This means that communication between those hosts is unlimited.
Since docker is a contained virtual environment this is
VERY SAFE
BUT
to be absolutely secure, like when connecting to any network:
-
please make sure your passwords are strong (and obviously change all defaults like the ones provided for the downloadable docker images or our labs, since they are publicly available)
-
don't connect to hosts you don't trust (e.g. when using the hybrid only trust relliable sources)
-
be aware that you are in a public network (like an airport e.g.) and act accordingly
You can always check your connection status at the top right
Please make sure all users on your system have a strong password!
Advice: If at all unsure (e.g. if your machine has personal data on it) you can ofcourse use our image and launch a virtual machine to be absolutely isolated.
