SwarmlabHybrid

1. Install

1.1. Prerequisites Hardware

Remember

Before you create and configure a hybrid deployment using the swarmlab-agent client, your Local Machines need to meet certain requirements.

If you don’t meet those requirements, you won’t be able to complete the steps within the swarmlab-agent client and you won’t be able to configure a hybrid deployment between your Local Enviroment and Swarmlab Online Enviroment.

  • A Linux Server (Virtual or Physical)

    • You must have super user privileges (sudo)

  • Docker Engine- Community version 18 or later is required.

    • Docker Engine is supported on x86_64 (or amd64), armhf, and arm64 architectures.

  • RAM

    • Absolute minimum to run the daemon and some very light containers - 512MB

    • Minimum for “comfortable” usage – 2GB

  • CPU

    • Minimum: 2; Recommended 4+.

  • Disk Space

    • 10 GB for internal requirements.

    • The amount of additional disk space required for load file staging, persistence, or backups depends on the size of the data to be loaded.

Docker uses a hypervisor with a VM, and the host server must support virtualization.

1.2. Prerequisites Keys

  • Create an Hybrid Swarmlab Key

  • After creating Keys for your project, you will be informed with an email and it will also become visible in the Swarmlab-agent clients corresponding menu.

1.3. Download and install

2. Start/Stop Agent
