The PLUMgrid Libnetwork Plugin enables seamless way to connect Docker containers to PLUMgrid. It enables rich networking functions, secure multi-tenancy, multi-host networking, high availability, distributed scale-out performance, and container-based micro-segmentation for Docker clouds.
- PLUMgrid Standalone
- golang1.4 >=
- Install Docker v1.9+
Before launching PLUMgrid libnetwork plugin, ensure that Docker is installed on your host(s)
Build the binary using the instructions below and launch it on your host. PLUMgrid plugin must be launched once per host.
Create a network using PLUMgrid driver
$ docker network create --subnet=10.0.0.0/24 -d plumgrid net1 Create a network on specific domain
$ docker network create --subnet=10.0.0.0/24 -d plumgrid -o domain=DomainID net1 You can choose to link the network to a specific router in PLUMgrid virtual domain as well, this is entirely optional and depending on your use case, you may use it.
$ docker network create --subnet=10.0.0.0/24 -d plumgrid -o router=router-1 net1 You can also choose to link the network to a specific bridge in PLUMgrid virtual domain, this also is optional and can be used depending upon your use case.
$ docker network create --subnet=10.0.0.0/24 -d plumgrid -o bridge=bridge-1 net1 Run your containers using the Docker CLI
$ docker run -itd --name=cont1 --net=net1 busybox Run several containers, and verify they can ping each other
Install Docker (if not already)
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh Start the docker daemon
$ docker daemon Create a go workspace
$ mkdir $HOME/work Export GOPATH environment variable
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/work Add workspace’s bin subdirectory to your path
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin Clone the PLUMgrid libnetwork plugin repo
$ git clone https://github.com/plumgrid/libnetwork-plugin.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/libnetwork-plugin/ Move to plugin directory and make binaries
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/libnetwork-plugin/ $ make Move config.ini under /opt/pg/libnetwork/
Update this /opt/pg/libnetwork/config.ini to contain the PLUMgrid Virtual IP
Now run the PLUMgrid libnetwork plugin
$ sudo mkdir -p /run/docker/plugins $ ./plugin/plumgrid
