The goal of this project is to provide a method of configuring generic Linux systems using the Sysrepo NETCONF server implementation.
This Sysrepo plugin is based on the ietf-system YANG module which provides "configuration and identification of some common system properties within a device containing a NETCONF server". More information about the specific YANG module can be found in RFC 7317: A YANG Data Model for System Management.
Besides the usual C development environment, the following additional dependencies are required:
- libyang
- sysrepo
- sysrepo-plugins-common library
- umgmt library
The following software is additionally required on the target system:
- systemd
- ntpd
The project uses 2 main branches main and devel. Other branches should not be cloned. In main there are files of the last official release. Any latest improvements and changes, which were tested at least briefly are found in devel. On every new release, devel is merged into main.
This means that when only stable official releases are to be used, either main can be used or specific releases downloaded. If all the latest bugfixes should be applied, devel branch is the one to be used. Note that whenever a new issue is created and it occurs on the main branch, the first response will likely be to use devel before any further provided support. Also, when creating a Pull Request, the target branch should always be set to devel.
First clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/telekom/sysrepo-plugin-system
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
Next, create a build directory and generate the build recipes using CMake:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
If systemd is present on the system an additional cmake flag is required:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DSYSTEMD_IFINDEX=1 ..
note: SYSTEMD_IFINDEX cmake flag is the index of the interface you wish to configure DNS on (to get a list of indexes for all interfaces, use: ip link)
If augeas/augyang configuration is needed (only supported for ntp container and the hostname leaf node), the augeas specific plugin can be built by providing the CMake option:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DSYSTEMD_IFINDEX=1 -DENABLE_AUGEAS_PLUGIN=ON ..
After configuring the build process with CMake, run the make command to build the plugin:
$ make -j
Plugin will be built as a standalone application and also as a sysrepo-plugind module. For example, for the main ietf-system plugin there are two build artifacts:
- ietf-system-plugin: standalone application
- libsrplg-ietf-system.so:
sysrepo-plugindmodule which exposes the plugin init and cleanup callbacks and can be installed by invoking the following command:sysrepo-plugind -P libsrplg-ietf-system.so
The plugin requires the iana-crypt-hash and ietf-system YANG modules to be loaded into the Sysrepo datastore. This can be achieved by invoking the following commands:
$ sysrepoctl -i ../yang/iana-crypt-hash@2014-08-06.yang
$ sysrepoctl -i ../yang/ietf-system@2014-08-06.yang
The plugin also requires some features from ietf-system YANG module to be enabled. This can be achieved by invoking the following commands:
$ sysrepoctl --change ietf-system --enable-feature timezone-name
$ sysrepoctl --change ietf-system --enable-feature ntp
$ sysrepoctl --change ietf-system --enable-feature authentication
$ sysrepoctl --change ietf-system --enable-feature local-users
