Since starting the Time2Code project I have promised to support additonal languages beyond the four I started with. Today I am releasing support for the Fortran language through serverless code execution.
This is typically not possible with traditional Cloud provider Serverless platforms to execute different languagues other than the few they support. However OpenFaaS makes this possible with a simple to use Serverless Function platform that runs containers on Docker Swarm and Kubernetes backends. If you can put it in a container, you can make a function out of it with OpenFaaS.
Let’s get you started quickly so you can start to pursue a new career with NASA. First we will deploy Time2Code. Give it a try on Play-With-Docker by following this link. Once Time2Code is deployed click on the link for the Web IDE.
Your Time2Code Play-With-Docker URL will look similar to this…
http://pwd10-1-226-3-5555.host2.labs.play-with-docker.com/I have prepared some pre-populated Fortran code examples to use from Fortran sample code snippets from around GitHub. When using the example links be mindful of the query parameters as those are used to pre-populate the web based IDE. Once loaded, click the run button to execute the code serverlessly.

If you want to deploy Time2Code on your own laptop, and you have Docker CE installed on your computer, use the following command to get started with Time2Code.
$ docker swarm init --advertise-addr eth0 \
&& curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JockDaRock/Time2Code/master/time2deploy.sh \
&& sudo bash time2deploy.shUse http://127.0.0.1:5555 for your base URL if deploying from your laptop and Docker Swarm.
Congrats on executing Fortran code Serverlessly with Time2Code and OpenFaaS!
