Introduction

This tutorial guides you through a quick demo deployment including a preconfigured OpenFire XMPP server and a couple of EdgeVPN.io nodes using Docker.

Prerequisite: This demo assumes you are running Ubuntu 18.04. This has been tested on the Amazon Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS AMI, and on the OSboxes Ubuntu Server 18.04.3 Bionic image

Setup your environment

Clone the evio/tools repository (which has several tools and template configuration file needed for this demo) and set up your dependence pre-requisites as follows:

git clone http://github.com/edgevpnio/tools
cd tools
./setup testbed
./setup venv

Setup a Docker network

Log out and log back in to ensure your user is able to use Docker, then run the following command to create a Docker network:

docker network create dkrnet

Deploy demo XMPP server

This will download and run a pre-configured XMPP server Docker container - note that it may take a while to download.

cd tools
./setup xmpp

Add IP address of XMPP server to template file

Edit the template-config.json file in the testbed directory, replacing *.*.*.* in HostAddress with the IP address of your host (the XMPP container maps port 5222 of your host)

cd testbed
vi template-config.json

Deploy EVio nodes

The following commands enter a Python venv and configure and run two containers named evio-dkr001 and evio-dkr002 (note again that it may take a while to download):

source venv/bin/activate
python testbed.py -v --configure --range=1,3 --run

Test

You may now open a shell in the first container, and ping the second:

docker exec -it evio-dkr001 /bin/bash
ping 10.10.100.2

Or vice-versa:

docker exec -it evio-dkr002 /bin/bash
ping 10.10.100.1
