Before we start

ACS is a framework for implementing a distributed container/component software machine. You can use it to develop and run custom components with some desired functionality. In these tutorials we will explore its main features, from and for someone new to this tool, in order to gain familiarity with the framework. Hopefully we will find some interesting ways of using ACS coding simple experimental components. ACS may seem big and complex at first, but we will code our way out of this image, in a condensed approach.

First we will install ACS inside a Docker container based in a CentOS 7 image, in an Ubuntu 20.04 machine.toc
