Directories

One main design idea for Nodelab is to be similar to a modern developer environment. One effect of this is that Nodelab configuration is mostly text-based. This means that the configuration can be stored in one or several repositories, e.g. GIT. Changes can easily be tracked and reversed, and whole configurations can be copied and slightly modified for testing or similar deployments.

The root of the configuration is a file path on the server. Note that files with a .esc suffix are Edgescript® files.
