OpenBMP docker files

Docker files for OpenBMP.

(Prerequisite) Platform Docker Install

Ignore this step if you already have a current docker install

Note

You should use the latest docker version, documented in this section.

Follow the instructions on https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/

Optionally add a non-root user to run docker as

usermod -aG docker ubuntu

# Logout and log back so the group takes affect. 

Optionally configure /etc/default/docker (e.g. for proxy config)

export http_proxy="http://proxy:80/"
export https_proxy="http://proxy:80/"
export no_proxy="127.0.0.1,openbmp.org,/var/run/docker.sock"

Make sure you can run 'docker run hello-world' successfully.

OpenBMP Docker Files

Each docker file contains a readme file, see below:

• Collector
• PostgreSQL
• PSQL Consumer

Greenfield deploy (recommended): deploy.sh

Deploying onto a new host? Use deploy.sh — it reconciles the host-specific .env values (HOST_IP, router-facing IP/port, auth mode) before running setup.sh, guards against the known portability traps (docs/PORTABILITY-FINDINGS.md), and brings the stack up in stages:

git clone <repo-url> && cd obmp-docker
git checkout <branch>        # pin the deploy: note the branch AND commit
git log -1 --oneline         # record what you deployed
./deploy.sh                  # interactive; or --wsl/--prod --scope ... --yes

A greenfield deploy is only reproducible if the checkout is pinned — "clone and run" silently depends on whatever branch was checked out. Record the branch + commit with the deployment.

Deployment types (--scope full-stack|remote|central-store) are described in docs/DEPLOYMENT-TYPES.md. Router-side BMP config: docs/router-bmp-config.md; multi-path integration (BGP-LS, gNMI, NETCONF, RR overlay): docs/router-integration.md, with copy-paste IOS-XR fragments under router-blueprints/iosxr/.

Using Docker Compose to run everything

Quick start: copy .env.example to .env, fill it in, and run ./setup.sh — it creates the data directories, syncs Grafana provisioning, and generates Authelia secrets. Then:

docker compose up -d                                  # BMP collector core
docker compose --profile test --profile auth up -d    # full stack

See docs/DOCS.md section 4 for details and the manual alternative below.

Install Docker Compose

You will need docker-compose. You can install that via Docker Compose instructions. Docker compose will run everything, including handling restarts of containers.

(1) Mount/Make persistent directories

Create expected directories. You can choose to mount these as well or update the compose file to change them.

Note

If you are using OSX/Mac, then you will need to update your docker preferences to allow /var/openbmp

Make sure to create the OBMP_DATA_ROOT directory first.

export OBMP_DATA_ROOT=/var/openbmp
sudo mkdir -p $OBMP_DATA_ROOT

Create sub directories

mkdir -p ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/config
mkdir -p ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/kafka-data
mkdir -p ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/zk-data
mkdir -p ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/zk-log
mkdir -p ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/postgres/data
mkdir -p ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/postgres/ts
mkdir -p ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/grafana
mkdir -p ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/grafana/dashboards

sudo chmod -R 7777 $OBMP_DATA_ROOT

WARNING: on a host with an existing Postgres data tree, a recursive chmod makes psql_server.key group/world-accessible and Postgres will refuse to start. Skip postgres/ (setup.sh does this for you — see docs/PORTABILITY-FINDINGS.md finding 10).

In order to init the DB tables, you must create the file ${OBMP_DATA_ROOT}/config/init_db. This should only be done once or whenever you want to completely wipe out the DB and start over.

Change OBMP_DATA_ROOT=<path> to where you created the directories above. The default is /var/openbmp

OBMP_DATA_ROOT=/var/openbmp docker-compose -p obmp up -d
