Mininet Docker Base Image 🐳

This is a base image for a dockerizing Mininet topologies. It can be used to dockerize topologies that uses Mininet's Python API or, by using the mn image, topologies that are instantiated via the mn CLI tool.

Available Images

All images are available via the GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io) and target ARM and x86 architectures.

Using the Python API:

If your topology is a python script, you can use the ghcr.io/scc365/mininet:latest image.

Example:

FROM ghcr.io/scc365/mininet:latest

WORKDIR /topology
COPY topology.py .

CMD [ "topology.py" ]

Using the mn CLI Tool:

If you instantiate your topology via mn, you can use the ghcr.io/scc365/mn:latest image.

Example:

FROM ghcr.io/scc365/mn:latest

WORKDIR /topology
COPY topology.py .

CMD [ "--switch ovsk --mac --custom /topology/topology.py --topo exampleTopo" ]

Updating

Think that a tool or package is so commonly used in creating topologies (or testing them) that it should be in the base image? Feel free to create a PR updating Dockerfile, but please write a small justification in the PR.
