This project enables you to:

• Create and delete named netns on the fly like systemd services
• Start named netns on boot
• Quickly set up bridging or NAT from netns to host
• Use named netns in systemd services
  • Enables them to connect to the internet too
  • And you can manually switch to its netns (since they are named)

Dependencies:

• Recent version of systemd (newer is better; tested down to v232)
• iproute2
• iptables (only if you use default NAT config)
• /usr/bin/env

For installation, run make install with root privilege.

You ran run make uninstall to remove the systemd units, but the configs located in /etc/default will not be removed.

systemctl start netns-nat@helloworld
