This repository provides tooling to build a Docker image for the Mellanox NEO SDN controller.
The image is based on the centos/systemd image, in order to run multiple NEO services in a single container, using the existing NEO init scripts.
The Dockerfile expects a tarball containing the NEO software to be available via HTTP. The URL of this tarball should be set via $NEO_TARBALL_URL.
By default, the built image will be tagged as mlnx-neo:latest. To use a different tag, set $NEO_IMAGE_TAG.
Run the build.sh script to build a Docker image.
By default the image tagged as mlnx-neo:latest will be used to create the container. To use a different image, set $NEO_IMAGE_NAME.
By default, the container will be named mlnx_neo. To use a different name, set $NEO_CONTAINER_NAME.
It may be desirable to apply additional configuration to NEO prior to running the neo service. This can be done by setting $NEO_STARTUP_CONFIG_PATH to the path of a script.
Run the run.sh script to create a Docker container. The container will be privileged, and use host networking.
Alternatively, use the mlnx-neo Ansible role to deploy the container.
