For the past couple months I've been developing a free service called Labkeeper to let people share their home/office network labs with friends and colleagues. Originally inspired by the (currently inactive) Packet Life community lab, the idea is to provide an online scheduling portal and backend authentication service to easily administer remote lab access for many users. You just register your lab, point your console server to labkeeper.net for RADIUS authentication, and decide who to let use your lab and when.

Yesterday I announced on my blog that I was looking for more beta testers to help fine-tune the site and I figured r/networking might be interested in helping out. I'd like to get a few more people kicking the tires at this point before I continue adding features.

If you'd like to help, all you need is:

• A console server which supports RADIUS authentication (example: a Cisco router w/async WIC, an Opengear box, etc.)
• Prior experience configuring and using the console server
• An Internet connection over which the console server can be reached remotely via Telnet/SSH
• At least one lab device connected to the console server (more is better but not required)
• A few spare hours here and there to help test and troubleshoot at your leisure
• Patience

If you have all this and want to check it out, just reply or message me and I'll create you a set of credentials. Also, the code is on GitHub if you want to poke around. Thanks!
