GIRUS is an open-source CLI-driven platform for running interactive, hands-on learning labs for DevOps technologies like Linux, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. It runs locally on the user's machine using Docker and a lightweight Kubernetes cluster, providing isolated lab environments with guided tasks and automatic progress validation.

Use cases

• practice kubernetes locally in isolated labs
• run hands-on docker and terraform tutorials on my machine
• create custom interactive labs for my team's devops training
• learn linux and platform engineering without cloud infrastructure
• set up guided lab environments with automatic task validation
• install and manage lab repositories like helm charts

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source alternative to SaaS lab platforms like Katacoda or Instruqt
• you need labs that run entirely locally without cloud infrastructure
• you want to author and share custom lab templates via repositories

When to avoid

• you need fully managed, browser-based labs with no local setup
• you don't have Docker installed or lack resources to run a local Kubernetes cluster
• you need multi-user classroom management features
