About:
labctl is a command-line interface for iximiuz Labs, enabling developers to launch and manage lightweight, ephemeral sandbox environments directly from the terminal. It streamlines the process of creating remote playgrounds for various technologies, facilitating quick testing, debugging, and learning without local setup. The tool integrates with the iximiuz Labs platform to provide seamless access to its infrastructure.

Key Features:

Launch and manage ephemeral remote environments
Direct file synchronization with remote sandboxes
Execute commands within the playground context
Seamless integration with the iximiuz Labs platform

Use Cases:

Quickly reproducing bugs in isolated, clean environments
Live demonstrations and sharing of application setups
Testing infrastructure-as-code configurations safely
Learning new technologies without local installation

Alternatives:

docker – Docker runs containers locally, while labctl provisions and manages remote, ephemeral playgrounds via the iximiuz platform.
multipass – Multipass creates local VMs, whereas labctl focuses on remote, disposable environments managed via a specific service.
