|
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 an 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).
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
<https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/v3.10/community/x86_64/gns3-server>
|
|
- NixOS:
|
|
<https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=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 >= 3.8, 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:
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
sudo apt-get install python3-setuptools python3-pip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, these commands will install the server as well as the rest of
|
|
the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
cd gns3-server-master
|
|
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
python3 -m pip install .
|
|
gns3server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To run tests use:
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
python3 -m pytest tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Docker container
|
|
|
|
For development, you can run the GNS3 server in a container
|
|
|
|
``` {.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.
|
|
|
|
Useful 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.
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
sudo adduser gns3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
upstart
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
For ubuntu < 15.04
|
|
|
|
You need to copy init/gns3.conf.upstart to /etc/init/gns3.conf
|
|
|
|
``` {.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
|
|
|
|
``` {.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
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to install the remaining dependencies.
|
|
|
|
To run the tests, you also need to call
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
pip install pytest pytest-capturelog
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
before actually running the tests with
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
python setup.py test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or with
|
|
|
|
``` {.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 virtualenvwrapper:
|
|
<http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/> and homebrew:
|
|
<http://brew.sh/>.
|
|
|
|
``` {.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:
|
|
|
|
``` {.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:
|
|
|
|
``` {.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:
|
|
|
|
``` {.ini}
|
|
[Server]
|
|
certfile=/Users/noplay/.config/GNS3/ssl/server.cert
|
|
certkey=/Users/noplay/.config/GNS3/ssl/server.key
|
|
ssl=True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running tests
|
|
|
|
Just run:
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
py.test -vv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want test coverage:
|
|
|
|
``` {.bash}
|
|
py.test --cov-report term-missing --cov=gns3server
|
|
```
