|
|
This is the GNS3 server repository.
|
|
|
|
The GNS3 server manages emulators such as Dynamips, VirtualBox or Qemu/KVM.
|
|
Clients like the `GNS3 GUI <https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/>`_ and the `GNS3 Web UI <https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-web-ui>`_ control the server using a HTTP REST API.
|

Software dependencies
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
In addition of Python dependencies listed in a section below, other software may be required, recommended or optional.
|
|
|
|
* `uBridge <https://github.com/GNS3/ubridge/>`_ is required, it interconnects the nodes.
|
|
* `Dynamips <https://github.com/GNS3/dynamips/>`_ is required for running IOS routers (using real IOS images) as well as the internal switches and hubs.
|
|
* `VPCS <https://github.com/GNS3/vpcs/>`_ is recommended, it is a builtin node simulating a very simple computer to perform connectitivy tests using ping, traceroute etc.
|
|
* Qemu is strongly recommended on Linux, as most node types are based on Qemu, for example Cisco IOSv and Arista vEOS.
|
|
* libvirt is recommended (Linux only), as it's needed for the NAT cloud.
|
|
* Docker is optional (Linux only), some nodes are based on Docker.
|
|
* mtools is recommended to support data transfer to/from QEMU VMs using virtual disks.
|
|
* i386-libraries of libc and libcrypto are optional (Linux only), they are only needed to run IOU based nodes.
|
|
|
|
Docker support
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
Docker support needs the script program (`bsdutils` or `util-linux` package), when running a docker VM and a static busybox during installation (python3 setup.py install / pip3 install / package creation).

|
|
Linux (Debian based)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The following instructions have been tested with Ubuntu and Mint.
|
|
You must be connected to the Internet in order to install the dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies:
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.6, setuptools and the ones listed `here <https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/blob/master/requirements.txt>`_
|
|
|
|
The following commands will install some of these dependencies:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools
|
|
|
|
Finally these commands will install the server as well as the rest of the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
cd gns3-server-master
|
|
sudo python3 setup.py install
|
|
gns3server
|
|
|
|
To run tests use:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
py.test -v
|
|
|
|
|
|
Docker container
|
|
****************
|
|
|
|
For development you can run the GNS3 server in a container
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
bash scripts/docker_dev_server.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run as daemon (Unix only)
|
|
**************************
|
|
|
|
You will find init sample scripts for various systems
|
|
inside the init directory.
|
|
|
|
Usefull options:
|
|
|
|
* --daemon: start process as a daemon
|
|
* --log logfile: store output in a logfile
|
|
* --pid pidfile: store the pid of the running process in a file and prevent double execution
|
|
|
|
All init scripts require the creation of a GNS3 user. You can change it to another user.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo adduser gns3
|
|
|
|
upstart
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
For ubuntu < 15.04
|
|
|
|
You need to copy init/gns3.conf.upstart to /etc/init/gns3.conf
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo chown root /etc/init/gns3.conf
|
|
sudo service gns3 start
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemd
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
You need to copy init/gns3.service.systemd to /lib/systemd/system/gns3.service
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
sudo chown root /lib/systemd/system/gns3.service
|
|
sudo systemctl start gns3
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please use our `all-in-one installer <https://community.gns3.com/software/download>`_ to install the stable build.
|
|
|
|
If you install via source you need to first install:
|
|
|
|
- Python (3.3 or above) - https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
|
|
- Pywin32 - https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/
|
|
|
|
Then you can call
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
to install the remaining dependencies.
|
|
|
|
To run the tests, you also need to call
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
pip install pytest pytest-capturelog
|
|
|
|
before actually running the tests with
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
python setup.py test
|
|
|
|
or with
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
py.test -v
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Please use our DMG package for a simple installation.
|
|
|
|
If you want to test the current git version or contribute to the project,
|
|
you can follow these instructions with virtualenwrapper: http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/
|
|
and homebrew: http://brew.sh/.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
brew install python3
|
|
mkvirtualenv gns3-server --python=/usr/local/bin/python3.5
|
|
python3 setup.py install
|
|
gns3server
|
|
|
|
SSL
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
If you want enable SSL support on GNS3 you can generate a self signed certificate:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
bash gns3server/cert_utils/create_cert.sh
|
|
|
|
This command will put the files in ~/.config/GNS3/ssl
|
|
|
|
After you can start the server in SSL mode with:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
python gns3server/main.py --certfile ~/.config/GNS3/ssl/server.cert --certkey ~/.config/GNS3/ssl/server.key --ssl
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or in your gns3_server.conf by adding in the Server section:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: ini
|
|
|
|
[Server]
|
|
certfile=/Users/noplay/.config/GNS3/ssl/server.cert
|
|
certkey=/Users/noplay/.config/GNS3/ssl/server.key
|
|
ssl=True
|
|
|
|
Running tests
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
Just run:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
py.test -vv
|
|
|
|
If you want test coverage:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
py.test --cov-report term-missing --cov=gns3server
|
