Hi everyone, We're doing a project here at Berkeley which requires OVS/Docker integration on CoreOS. Melvin Walls (an undergrad working with me here) did the heavy lifting to get that setup, so I thought I'd forward it to the list in case there's interest.
The first (and most important) step, is to create a container of OVS. Melvin has done so here: https://hub.docker.com/r/melvinw/ubuntu-ovs/ It'd be really cool if the community blessed one per release and put it on hub.docker.com. They have a way to bless certain containers as "official" which would be awesome. Anyways once that's up getting OVS running is pretty easy: It's a bit ugly but it works: mkdir -p /etc/ovs mkdir -p /var/run/ovs sudo modprobe openvswitch docker pull melvinw/ubuntu-ovs docker run -d \ --privileged --net=host --name=ovsdb \ -v /var/run/ovs:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch:rw \ -v /etc/ovs:/usr/local/etc/openvswitch:rw \ melvinw/ubuntu-ovn /bin/bash -c " \ mkdir -p /usr/local/var/log/openvswitch \ /usr/local/var/lib/openvswitch \ /usr/local/var/lib/openvswitch/pki; \ ovsdb-tool create /usr/local/etc/openvswitch/conf.db \ /usr/local/share/openvswitch/vswitch.ovsschema; \ ovsdb-server \ --remote=punix:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch/db.sock \ --remote=db:Open_vSwitch,Open_vSwitch,manager_options \ --log-file=/usr/local/var/log/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.log \ --pidfile" docker run -d \ --privileged --net=host --name=ovs \ -v /var/run/ovs:/usr/local/var/run/openvswitch:rw \ -v /etc/ovs:/usr/local/etc/openvswitch:rw \ melvinw/ubuntu-ovn /bin/bash -c " \ mkdir -p /usr/local/var/log/openvswitch \ /usr/local/var/lib/openvswitch \ /usr/local/var/lib/openvswitch/pki; \ ovs-vsctl --no-wait init; \ ovs-vswitchd --pidfile \ --log-file=/usr/local/var/log/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.log" The usual commands (ovs-vsctl, etc...) can be run by prefixing them with `docker exec ovs` Anyways, I hope that's helpful/interesting.
