❗ Mini-NDN docker is in experimental phase, it uses older version of Mini-NDN and is incompatible with the current version

docker build or docker pull

The Dockerfile can be used directly to build an image from scratch.

• Build with Dockerfile:

  • Open terminal and use the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/ashiqopu/docker-minindn
    cd docker-minindn
    

  • Type and enter.

    docker build -t minindn .
    

  • You can then access the container through shell with,

    docker run -m 4g --cpus=4 -it --rm --privileged \
           -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules \
           minindn bin/bash
    

• Pull from hub:

  • Open a terminal and type:

    docker pull marahman/minindn:v0.2
    

  • You can then access the container through shell with,

    docker run -m 4g --cpus=4 -it --rm --privileged -e DISPLAY \
              -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
              -v /lib/modules:/lib/modules \
              marahman/minindn:v0.2 bin/bash
    

Notes:

• Memory (-m), CPU (--cpus) are recommended by Mini-NDN.
• --privileged is mandatory for underlying Mininet to utilize virtual switch
• Root directory on run is /mini-ndn containing the installation and examples.
• GUI may not work for now due to docker and xterm setup issues and is independent from Mini-NDN.
