Deploying SR Linux container images
This chapter describes SR Linux container installation topics. The container installation topics include:
- SR Linux container prerequisites
Ensure that prerequisites are met before launching a container.
- Launching an SR Linux container manually
Launches a single SR Linux container using a manual procedure.
SR Linux container prerequisites
Ensure that prerequisites are met before installing an SR Linux container.
Minimum system requirements:
- 4 GB RAM
- 2 v CPU
- The host machine user must have sudo privileges
Minimum software requirements:
- Docker CE installed, minimum version 18.09:
- SR Linux container image downloaded from the https://github.com/nokia/srlinux-container-image repository.
Note: Containers instantiated without a license key from Nokia are active for
14 days only.
Launching an SR Linux container manually
-
Download the SR Linux container image from the SR Linux container image
repository.
$ docker pull -i ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:X.Y.Z-N.tar.xzwhere X = major, Y = minor, Z = patch, and N = build number
-
Check that the Docker image was imported correctly:
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux 23.7.1 ebf0aaf37625 6 weeks ago 3.58GB -
Launch an instance of the SR Linux
container on the host using the options in the following command line. This command must be
entered in a single line. See the note that follows about copying text from a PDF file without
broken lines.
sudo docker run -t -d --rm --privileged \ -u 0:0 \ -v srl23-7-1.json:/etc/opt/srlinux/config.json \ --name srlinux ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:23.7.1 \ sudo bash /opt/srlinux/bin/sr_linuxNote: Copying a long command string from a PDF file introduces line breaks. As a workaround, copy the text string and place into Notepad++. Highlight the text and select CTRL+J. The result is a single line with no returns. -
Check that the docker container has been created with the name 'srlinux':
$ docker ps
