go-eve BUILD, PLAY, TEARDOWN, REPEAT

Summary

go-eve is trying to solve every Network Engineer's problem when they start working on a network lab; it is time-consuming. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to learn, set up, build and maintain their lab environment.

Go-eve is a tool for the EVE-NG network simulator platform.

The goal is that every time we run our tool, the lab's state will be as intended. If a lab is not working as expected, we can destroy the lab, rebuild it, and the lab will be as expected.

This tool will :

1. Build: Build your compute instance ( Initial will support Google Cloud)
2. Setup: Setup the cloud instance with all the software and setting needed for your initial EVE-NG lab.
3. Destroy: Will destroy your entire lab.

Requirements

1. Golang install
   • Go Install Guide
2. Set up the gcloud CLI to run on your computer gcl CLI install guide
3. Create a Project
4. Enable the Compute Engine and Cloud Build APIs.
   • Enable the APIs
5. Create a local key file containing your new service account credentials (use the same instructions link above)
6. Set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to the path of your local key file.
7. Initiate gcloud SDK gcloud init guide

How to use it

Go get

go get github.com/amb1s1/go-eve

Configuration

1. Open the config.yaml file and make all the necessary changes.

Build it

go build main.go

run

On your first run, you will need to create a custom eve-ng image. ./main --create_custom_eve_ng_image=true --instance_name=eve-go1 This will:

1. Build a custom image.
2. Install eve-ng.
3. Setup eve-ng.
4. Create an Ingress && Egress firewall to allow telnet to the eve-ng node from outside gcloud.

In the end, you should be able to HTTP into the eve-ng server and create labs.

Roadmap

1. Upload and setup by vendor and os(You still need to provide the os).
2. Backup your lab config.
