jsimonetti/gns3-server repository overview

⁠jsimonetti/gns3-server

⁠Usage

docker run \
    --rm -d \
    --name gns3 \
    --net=host --privileged \
    -e BRIDGE_ADDRESS="172.21.1.1/24" \
    -v <data path>:/data \
    jsimonetti/gns3-server:latest 

⁠Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -v /data - Path to persistant data
• -e BRIDGE_ADDRESS="172.21.1.1/24" - Configure the internal NAT network bridge for GNS3

It is based on alpine-linux edge, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it gns3 /bin/sh.

⁠Info

This container works best when run priviledged and on a network other then dockers' default (host or macvtap for example). If you run on docker's default network you need to expose all ports used by gns3 and consoles yourself.

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime docker logs -f gns3.
