Requirements

Usage

Docker

Note: This docker image can be ran only on Linux machines and batman-adv kernel module must be enabled.

Note: You may need to prefix Docker commands with sudo, if it is not added to non-sudo group beforehand.

docker build -t batman-adv-virt . # Build the image
docker run --privileged -it \
    --cap-add=ALL \
    -v /dev:/dev \
    -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules \
    batman-adv-virt # Start the image

Optionally add --name container_name to name your container, --rm flag to delete the container after you're finished with it or replace -it with -d to start the container in detached mode instead of interactive.

To open up a bash for detached container, type:

docker exec -it (container_name) /bin/bash

To detach, press Ctrl-D.

docker-compose

TBD

Vagrant

To spin up vagrant box in virtualbox, run:

vagrant up --provider virtualbox

Or replace virtualbox with some other provider, just beware, that Vagrantfile considers one eth0 interface already exists and creates another eth1 for meshing.

To ssh into a box, run:

vagrant ssh

To detach from the shh, press Ctrl-D.

After you're finished, destroy a box by running:

vagrant destroy

Packer

To build a vagrant box with packer run:

packer build batman-adv.pkr.hcl

You can also change the builder, by replacing vagrant in batman-adv.pkr.hcl with some other builder. Available builders are:

qemu hyperv-iso azure-arm vsphere-clone amazon-ebsvolume
alicloud-ecs triton osc-bsuvolume docker googlecompute osc-chroot oracle-classic
parallels-iso oracle-oci openstack virtualbox-iso scaleway proxmox-iso
