Core

Systemd replacement for G8OS

Releases:

• 0.9.0
• 0.10.0 - last release

Sample setup

The following steps will create a docker container that have core0 as the init process. When running, u can send commands to core0 using the pyclient

First we need to prepare the base docker image to host core0

FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y wget && \
    apt-get install -y fuse && \
    apt-get install -y iproute2 && \
    apt-get install -y nftables && \
    apt-get install -y dnsmasq && \
    apt-get install -y redis-server

Make sure that you build both core0 and coreX as following

go get github.com/g8os/core0/core
go get github.com/g8os/core0/corex

The do

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/g8os/core0
# then start the docker container
docker run --privileged -d \
    --name core0 \
    -v `pwd`/core0/core0:/usr/sbin/core0 \
    -v `pwd`/coreX/coreX:/usr/sbin/coreX \
    -v `pwd`/core0/g8os.dev.toml:/root/core.toml \
    -v `pwd`/core0/conf:/root/conf \
    corebase \
    core0 -c /root/core.toml

Note: You might ask why we do this instead of copying those files directly to the image the point is, now it's very easy for development, each time u rebuild the binary or change the config u can just do docker restart core0 without rebuilding the whole image.

To follow the container logs do

docker logs -f core0

Using the client

Before using the client make sure the ./pyclient is in your PYTHONPATH

import client

cl = client.Client(host='ip of docker container running core0')

#validate that core0 is reachable
print(cl.ping())

#then u can do stuff like
print(
    cl.system('ps -eF').get()
)

print(
    cl.system('ip a').get()
)

#client exposes more tools for disk, bridges, and container mgmt
print(
    cl.disk.list()
)
