This is the GNS3 server repository.
The GNS3 server manages emulators such as Dynamips, VirtualBox or Qemu/KVM.
Clients like the GNS3 GUI controls the server using a HTTP REST API.
You will need the GNS3 GUI (gns3-gui repository) to control the server.

Linux
-----
GNS3 is perhaps packaged for your distribution:
* Gentoo: https://packages.gentoo.org/package/net-misc/gns3-server
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 3.4 or above
- aiohttp
- setuptools
- psutil
- jsonschema
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/community/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/python3.4
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
