⚡ Quick Start Guide (Run Locally)

1. Prerequisites Docker Desktop (With Kubernetes Enabled in Settings).

Python 3.x & Node.js installed.

2. Build the Lab Images 🐳 You must build the Docker images so Kubernetes can find them. Run these commands one by one:

Bash

1. Build Python Lab

cd labs/python docker build -t my-python-lab:v1 .

2. Build SQL Lab

cd ../sql docker build -t my-sql-lab:v1 .

3. Build Cyber Lab (This takes a few minutes)

cd ../cyber docker build -t my-cyber-lab:v1 . 3. Start the Backend (The Brain) 🧠 This server listens for API calls and commands Kubernetes to spawn pods.

Bash

cd ../../backend

Install Dependencies

pip install fastapi uvicorn kubernetes

Run Server (Network Accessible)

Note: Allows access from other devices on the same WiFi

python -m uvicorn main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 4. Start the Frontend (The Dashboard) 🎨 This launches the React User Interface.

Bash

cd ../frontend

Install Dependencies

npm install

Run React App

npm run dev -- --host 🛠 Tech Stack Orchestration: Kubernetes (K3s / Docker Desktop K8s)

Backend: Python (FastAPI) + Kubernetes Python Client

Frontend: React (Vite) + CSS Modules (Neon/Space Theme)

Container Runtime: Docker

Remote Access: NoVNC (Desktop), Code-Server (IDE), Pgweb/Adminer (DB GUI)
