midonet/agent repository overview

⁠MidoNet Host Agent

This container is designed to interact with a Zookeeper cluster that is managed by a MidoNet Cluster.

⁠How to run it

An example command line is:

docker run -d --name agent --net=host \
  --cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
  -e ZK_ENDPOINTS=172.17.0.14:2181,172.17.0.15:2181 \
  -e UUID=e967e5c2-3579-41d2-8a1b-4391ea40b0f3 \
  -v ${HOME}/logs/midonet_agent:/var/log/midolman \
  midonet/agent:latest

where:

• ZK_ENDPOINTS is a comma-separated list of all the ip:ports serving Apache Zookeeper.
• UUID is an optional environment variable that allows you to spawn a container that is identified with that uuid. If it is not passed, it will be calculated from the output of hostname command. If you tear it down and start it again with the same UUID (or same hostname, if UUID not provided), it will take the place and configurations of the previous one.
• A volume is mounted to have the Cluster logs available in the host without having to enter the container.

Other available options:

• TEMPLATE is one of compute.large (default), compute.medium, gateway.large and gateway.medium. It is recommended to keep the default template for all the agents except for the gateway nodes, where you should pick one of the gatewa template options.
