This is an example of Oxidized running within an OCI container, provided by podman and podman-compose.
In order to have the example work out of the box, a network device is simulated. The model asternos has been chosen because there were not too many commands to implement.
To run the example, just run make start. You should be sure to have installed the
dependencies before.
To exit, press CTRL-C or run make stop in a separate shell. If you exit
with CTRL-C, make sure to run make stop after it, in order to clean up the
running environment.
This example of oxidized with podman-compose has been run on Debian Bookworm (Version 12), but should work with few adaptations on any Linux box running podman, and maybe also with docker.
You need to install some packages on your debian system:
sudo apt install podman containers-storage podman-compose makeYou also want to make sure that podman uses the overlay driver for storing its images. If not, it will save every layer of the container to disk (and not only the delta), so it will fill your disk very fast.
This happens if you run podman without having installed the package container-storage
before.
podman info | grep graphDriverNameYou should get this reply
graphDriverName: overlayIf not, the quick way I found to solve it is to delete ~/.local/share/containers/.
Beware - this will delete all your containers!
Feel free and have fun. You probably want to edit docker-compose.yml in order to remove the simulated model.
When developing oxidized and testing the container, you may want to use your
own configuration. This can be done by saving it under oxidized-config/config.local
make start-local will recognize the local configuration and copy it to
oxidized-config/config before starting the container.
You shoud stop the container with make stop-local in order to restore the original
configuration from git.
