SONiC-restapi

Description

This is a configuration agent which exposes HTTPS endpoints to perform dynamic network configuration on switches running SONiC. It restful API server is go-server-server

Getting Started

Fetch Dependencies

  1. mkdir debs; cd debs
  2. sudo wget https://sonic-jenkins.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com/job/vs/job/buildimage-vs-all/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/debs/*zip*/debs.zip
  3. sudo unzip debs.zip

Build Rest-API

  1. Modify copy.sh SDIR path to point to your downloaded debs from the previous step
  2. Execute ./build.sh
  3. The above should generate 2 Docker images, 1 which is used for local development on your VM and 1 which is used for deployment on a TOR
  4. Run docker images to check if rest-api dockers were generated 
    REPOSITORY                     TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE 
    
rest-api-image                 latest              d2815fcb7356        2 days ago          222MB 
    
rest-api-image-test_local      latest              e62219a0bae2        2 days ago          222MB
  5. rest-api-image-test_local is for local testing on a dev VM and rest-api-image is for TOR testing/deployment
  6. The production image is also stored into a compressed archive rest-api-image.gz

Running Rest-API container

Run Rest-API container locally on a VM and execute unit tests

  1. docker run -d --rm -p8090:8090 -p6379:6379 --name rest-api --cap-add NET_ADMIN --privileged -t rest-api-image-test_local:latest
  2. cd test
  3. python apitest.py

Login to Rest-API container and check logs

  1. docker exec -it rest-api bash
  2. vim /tmp/rest-api.err.log

Run Rest-API container on a switch

  1. scp/copy over the generated archive(rest-api-image.gz) to your switch
  2. docker load < rest-api-image.gz
  3. docker run -d -p=8090:8090/tcp -v /var/run/redis/redis.sock:/var/run/redis/redis.sock --name rest-api --cap-add NET_ADMIN --privileged -t rest-api-image:latest
