MACI Docker

This repository provides a set of instructions to create Docker containers to start a full working set of the MACI framework published on https://maci-research.net/

The service is launched with Docker Compose initiating and connecting three Containers:

• MACI_Backend running the management framework based on .Net
• Jupyter-Notebook for analyzing experiments
• Mininet-Worker to run experiments (multiple instances can be started, however, be aware of side effects when executing parallel network experiments on the same host)

Getting Started

Setup Docker

• Linux (Ubuntu 16.06)

  Docker-CE and Docker compose need to be installed, see https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

#run as root
apt-get update
apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    software-properties-common
    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
add-apt-repository \
"deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
$(lsb_release -cs) \
stable"
apt-get update
apt-get install docker-ce
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.15.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` > /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
service docker start

• macOS

  Install Docker (e.g., following these instructions)

• Windows

  Install Docker (e.g., following these instructions).

Load Submodules

The MACI framework is loaded as a git submodule and needs to be loaded before starting the container:

git submodule init
git submodule update --remote

Start

• Attached (logs visible) docker-compose up --build

• Detached docker-compose up -d --build

FAQ

• Reset (CAUTION all local docker instances and volumes are removed)

  docker stop $(docker ps -aq)
  docker rm $(docker ps -aq)
  docker volume prune -f

• How do I start up more workers

  Newer Docker-Compose releases support the flag --scale mininet=n to launch n workers.
