What's that?

It's an simple enviorment to run robot that will fetch your app page constantly.

It could be usefult in example of simulating some movements on your app.

docker exec runner docker build -t robot /srv/dummy_app_stresser

Run container with robot

docker exec runner docker run  -e ROBOT_OPTIONS="-v page:YOUR_APP_ADDRESS -v lifetime:0 -v latency:0" robot:latest

• lifetime - time in seconds the robot will stand, if 0 it will be infinite
• latency - time in seonds the robot will wait until the next page fetch

Run container with robot in background

It's really easy to run few robots at once. Just execute them in the background.

docker exec runner docker run -d -e ROBOT_OPTIONS="-v page:YOUR_APP_ADDRESS -v lifetime:0 -v latency:0" robot:latest
