LabtainersPFE is an adapted version of Labtainers to our school Telecom SudParis. It aims to do labs without worrying about the environment problem so teachers can gain a lot of time at the begenning of a lab.

Also it gives the possibility of self-assessment for labs.

Our Lab repository

The initial Labtainers repository

The repo contains several other git repos as submodules :

• 'Labtainers/' : https://github.com/olberger/Labtainers in sync with the base revision used at the project start (67e075b06cb40d3cf810de956ee021bcdc03f6f2) on 2021/11/24.

• 'packer-ubuntu-20.04/' : https://github.com/olberger/packer-ubuntu-20.04

• merge back the changes in the main directory and in trunk/ (mainly setup_scripts/) into the main Labtainers trunk.

Initially, work reused from other repos had been pushed on different branches :

• 'master' as a modified version of the contents of Labtainer's distribution (based off https://github.com/mfthomps/Labtainers as made with mkdist.sh ?)

• 'vm' as a modified version of https://github.com/heizo/packer-ubuntu-20.04
