pyveth - Docker Plugin for veth networks

Simple network plugin for Docker Engine that can replace macvlan
in container-as-VM scenarios, allowing host-to-container communication
(see https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/931 for bug details).

It should be a drop-in replacement for macvlan module.

Build status

Installation

Plugin is packaged as Docker Engine-managed plugin.
Check out plugin page on Docker Hub.

To install it simply run:

docker plugin install jacekkow/pyveth

Usage

After installation you can use driver in newly-created networks:

docker network create --driver jacekkow/pyveth:latest new-network

By default it will simply create a pair of veth interfaces for each container.
One will be pushed inside the container and another will remain on host
(without any IP assigned).

Plugin accepts optional parent parameter, which is a name of bridge
interface that the second interface should be added to:

docker network create --driver jacekkow/pyveth:latest --opt parent=br0 new-network

This way host interface will be automatically attached to the specified bridge.

Manual packaging

In order to test this module in development environment, you can build it
by following Docker Engine documentation.

You can also use package.sh helper script which will perform
all the steps (including installation) automatically.
