This repository contains a set of Dockerfiles that build the pieces for a midonet deployment.

• Ubuntu 14.04
• [Centos 7] (https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/centos/)

ATTENTION!: Docker containers share kernel with the host. Midolman agent is attached to openvswitch kernel datapath. We strongly recommend you to follow this steps in a Virtual Machine.

• Install Docker

    $ wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/ | sh```

• Clone repo:

    $ git clone http://github.com/midonet/midonet-dockerfile
    $ cd midonet-dockerfile

• Be sure the openvswitch module is loaded in you docker server machine

    $ modprobe openvswitch

• Run the fig script. (You may need to install fig via pip pip install fig)

    $ fig up -d

• All the services will be running in this moment. Run a new container using the midonet-cli binary linked to the midonet api to start playing with midonet cli:

    $ fig run cli midonet-cli

• If you want to try out the centos version of the midonet containers you can just modify the fig.yml file to point to the docker images for midolman, midonet-api and midonet-cli with tag 2014.11-rc3_centos (or newer '_centos' tag). Then run the previous fig run cli midonet-cli command.

Midonet agents can be easily scaled. (Cassandra and Zookeeper can not now). Deploy diferent midonet agents (in your enviroment they will behave as if they were hypervisors)

    $ fig scale midolman=4

After a few seconds, log in into the midonet-cli and check your 'hosts':

If you enjoy watching how packages are installed and/or you don't mind wasting you time and your vision in a terminal window, we have something for you: build docker images by yourself instead of download them from docker registry!

• Run the build_testing_images.sh script. We will have the images pushed in Docker Hub Registry soon.
