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

Build Rest-API

1. Execute ./build.sh
2. 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
3. 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

4. rest-api-image-test_local is for local testing on a dev VM and rest-api-image is for TOR testing/deployment
5. 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. pytest -v

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
