OpenDaylight controller Docker image

OpenDaylight is a SDN controller. It can be used to control and orchestrate a network of switches.

OpenDaylight supports many southbound protocols and can be integrated in Openstack or even Kubernetes.

What's inside

• A ready-to-use OpenDaylight instance that will start up as a server. Multiple OpenDaylight versions are provided as tags.
• The images are based on openjdk:11-jre-slim-buster for OpenDaylight 10+ and openjdk:8-jre-slim-buster for older versions.
• No features are installed (you can install modules at boot time by setting the KARAF_FEATURES env variable).
• Exposed TCP ports:
  • 6633 Openflow,
  • 8101 Karaf CLI via SSH (see below),
  • 8181 RESTCONF / HTTP

How to use it

A typical use-case will be starting docker with several environment variables to prepare the container in a way that you have a readily configured OpenDaylight instance with the features you need.

Run the container

docker run -d -p 6633:6633 -p 8101:8101 -p 8181:8181 --name=opendaylight stephanfuhrmannionos/opendaylight

Access OpenDaylight Karaf CLI

Using SSH

To access the Karaf CLI, issue the command

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -p 8101 karaf@localhost

The default SSH credentials are:

• Username: karaf
• Password: karaf

Note: StrictHostKeyChecking and UserKnownHostsFile file is turned off because different container invocations will have different host keys.

Using Docker

An interactive Karaf shell can also be spawned with the following command line:

docker exec -ti opendaylight bin/client

where opendaylight is the name of the running container.

Customization via ENV variables

The following environment variables can be set to customize the started server:

Variable	Default	Possible Values
KARAF_INTERACTIVE	0	0,1	Set to 1 to run Karaf interactive, meaning that the docker instance will be interactive. As an alternative, you can connect in a running server instance using docker exec -ti opendaylight /odl/bin/client
KARAF_FEATURES		string	Comma separated features to load on boot of OpenDaylight. Example: odl-yangtools-parser,odl-yangtools-parser-api
KARAF_USER	karaf	string	The user name of the Karaf service.
KARAF_PASSWORD	karaf	string	The password of the Karaf service.
ODL_LOGLEVEL	INFO	TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL	The log level to log runtime information to the Docker console with.
ODL_ADMIN_PASSWORD	admin	string	The password of the AAA admin user.

Example:

docker run  -e KARAF_USER=michael -e KARAF_PASSWORD=knight -p 6633:6633 -p 8101:8101 -p 8181:8181 --name=opendaylight stephanfuhrmannionos/opendaylight:latest
