Features

Share your exercises and content as a tutor and access it as student on demand

On demand Labrooms

• Optimized for both Students and Tutors
• Tutors bootstrap their labrooms using our tools
• Students can join the created labrooms according to their interrests
• Following the lead of a cloud based world, we use git for tutors to create, distribute and run their lessons.

System requirements

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.
