Running the Lind LAMP Stack Demo

Test Description

The test sets up and runs the entire LAMP stack (Postgres, Nginx, Python w/ Gunicorn + Flask) using Lind, serving a dynamic HTML page of 2MB. Each request sent on flask generates 2048 database rows and performs INSERT, SELECT and DELETE on the rows.

Launching the Lind LAMP stack

Currently only works on Linux

To launch the Lind LAMP Stack you can run:

docker pull securesystemslab/lind-lamp 
docker run --privileged --ipc=host --cap-add=SYS_PTRACE --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --name=demo_lind_lamp -p 8888:80 -it securesystemslab/lind-lamp /bin/bash

The LAMP Stack is ready to connect when you see gunicorn print:

[2024-04-24 22:29:13 +0000] [28] [INFO] Booting worker with pid: 28

Connecting to the Lind LAMP Stack

From another terminal you can curl or run the wrk benchmarker

You can run curl to run a quick test which will generate our example 2MB html file.

curl http://localhost:8888/ > out.html 

You can run the benchmark using wrk with the following command:

wrk -t1 -c1 -d30 --timeout 30 http://localhost:8888/

This will yield benchmarking results in the form of:
