FABRIC Web GUI
A standalone web interface for the FABRIC testbed — design, deploy, and manage network experiments from your browser.
Features
- Visual Topology Editor — Drag-and-drop slice builder with Cytoscape.js graph visualization
- Geographic Map — Interactive Leaflet map showing FABRIC sites, backbone links, and resource availability
- In-Browser Terminals — SSH into provisioned VMs directly from the web UI
- File Manager — Upload, download, and transfer files between local storage and VMs
- Slice Templates — Pre-built experiment topologies with one-click deployment
- Boot Configuration — Per-node startup scripts with real-time progress streaming
- Monitoring — Live CPU and network metrics from deployed VMs
- AI Assistant (Weave) — AI-powered companion for creating and managing slices
Quick Start
1. Download the compose file
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fabric-testbed/fabric-webgui/main/docker-compose.yml
2. Start the container
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
3. Open the UI
Navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser.
4. Configure credentials
On first launch, the Getting Started tour will guide you through:
- Uploading your FABRIC identity token (from the FABRIC portal)
- Uploading your bastion SSH key
- Generating or uploading slice SSH keys
- Selecting your project
Persistent Storage
By default, configuration and data are stored in a Docker volume. To use a local directory instead:
services:
fabric-webui:
image: pruth/fabric-webui:latest
ports:
- "3000:3000"
volumes:
- ./fabric_storage:/fabric_storage
Updating
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
The UI will notify you when a new version is available.
Requirements
- Docker with Compose v2
- A FABRIC testbed account with an active project
- Works on Linux, macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon), and Windows (via Docker Desktop)
