If you don't have a local clone of the Lemmy repo yet, just run the following command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy -b federation
```
If you already have the Lemmy repo cloned, you need to add a new remote:
```bash
git remote add federation https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
git checkout federation
git pull federation federation
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

After the build is finished and the docker-compose setup is running, open [127.0.0.1:8540](http://127.0.0.1:8540) and
[127.0.0.1:8550](http://127.0.0.1:8550) in your browser to use the test instances. You can login as admin with
username `lemmy_alpha` and `lemmy_beta` respectively, with password `lemmy`.
The federation test sets up 3 instances:
Instance / Username | Location
--- | ---
lemmy_alpha | [127.0.0.1:8540](http://127.0.0.1:8540)
lemmy_beta | [127.0.0.1:8550](http://127.0.0.1:8550)
lemmy_gamma | [127.0.0.1:8560](http://127.0.0.1:8560)
You can log into each using the instance name, and `lemmy` as the password, IE (`lemmy_alpha`, `lemmy`).
Firefox containers are a good way to test them interacting.
## Integration tests
To run a suite of suite of federation integration tests:
```bash
cd docker/federation-test
./run-tests.sh
```
## Running on a server
Note that federation is currently in alpha. Only use it for testing, not on any production server, and be aware
that you might have to wipe the instance data at one point or another.
