Running IXP Manager on Docker

Just Get It Running: Docker Compose

If you are familiar with Docker, you can just get the whole environment going with the following:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/inex/ixp-manager-docker.git
cd ixp-manager-docker
docker-compose -p ixmp up

You can then access IXP Manager via: http://localhost:8880/ with username docker and password docker01.

The mail catcher can be accessed on: http://localhost:1080/

Introduction

As the IXP Manager ecosystem grows, it becomes harder and harder to maintain ubiquitous development environments for coding, testing and demonstrating IXP Manager. Docker is ideally suited to solving these issues as well as providing the perfect environment for IXP Manager workshops.

The multi-container Docker environment in this repository builds an IXP Manager system which includes:

  • a custom MySQL database container (from mysql/5.7).
  • two emulated switches via SNMP endpoints (using the excellent SNMP Agent Simulator via tandrup/snmpsim);
  • a mail trap with a web-based frontend to capture and analyse all emails sent by IXP Manager (thanks to schickling/mailcatcher).
  • a mrtg container to query the switches and build up mrtg log files / graphs (via cityhawk/mrtg).
  • the complete IXP Manager application build on the php/7.0-apache base. This has been preconfigured with some customers, routers, switches, etc.
  • a Bird-based route server pre-configured for 3 x IPv4 and 2 x IPv6 sessions. This also includes our Bird's Eye looking glass which has been integrated into rs1 container and configured into the IXP Manager container.
  • five Bird-based route server clients complete with routes and a route server session.

Disclaimer

This is not for production use.

This Docker application has been built solely for non-production use cases. It should never be used in production environments.

General Instructions

Please see Just Get It Running: Docker Compose above to start up the full application. When running, a Docker process list should show something similar to:

$ docker ps

A careful reading of the docker-compose.yml file should help illuminate the various containers started, the dedicated network details and the volumes used.

You can access the MySQL database via:

docker exec -it ixpm_mysql_1 mysql -u root ixpmanager

You can get CLI access to the www or rs1 containers using the following respectively:

docker exec -it ixpm_www_1 bash
docker exec -it ixpm_rs1_1 bash

You can access the Bird CLI of the route servers and customer BGP daemons via:

docker exec -it ixpm_rs1_1 birdc -s /var/run/bird/bird-rs1-ipv4.ctl
docker exec -it ixpm_rs1_1 birdc6 -s /var/run/bird/bird-rs1-ipv6.ctl

docker exec -it ixpm_cust-as42_1 birdc
docker exec -it ixpm_cust-as112_1 birdc
docker exec -it ixpm_cust-as1213_1 birdc
docker exec -it ixpm_cust-as1213-v6_1 birdc6
docker exec -it ixpm_cust-as25441-v6_1 birdc6

ixpm_switch1_1 and ixpm_switch2_1 emulate switches by replaying SNMP dumps from real INEX switches (with some sanitisation). The OIDs for traffic have been replaced with a dynamic function to give varying values.

From the www container, you can interact with these via:

$ docker exec -it ixpm_www_1 bash
# ping switch1
...
64 bytes from switch1 (172.30.201.60): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.135 ms
...
# ping switch2
...
64 bytes from switch2 (172.30.201.61): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.150 ms
...
# snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c switch1 switch1 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 = STRING: "switch1"
# snmpwalk -On -v 2c -c switch2 switch2 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0
.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 = STRING: "switch2"

You'll note from the above that the hostnames switch1 and switch2 work from the www container. Note also that the SNMP community is the hostname (switch1 or switch2 as appropriate).

The packaged database only contains switch1. You can add the second switch via http://localhost:8880/switch/add-by-snmp and setting the hostname and community to switch2.

If you want to add new customers for testing, add switch2 and then use interfaces Ethernet 2, 8, 13 and 6 and 7 as a lag as these have been preset to provide dynamic stats.
