Using with Docker

Build a Container Image​

Use the docker-image target to build a container image:

make docker-image

# Alternatively, build a stripped release binary
make docker-image RELEASE=1

Testing on Docker​

PacketStreamer container images can be tested locally on Docker.

Receiver side​

docker run --rm -it \
    -v $(pwd)/contrib/config:/etc/packetstreamer \
    -v $HOME/container_tmp:/tmp \
    -p 8081:8081 \
    deepfenceio/deepfence_packetstreamer \
    receiver --config /etc/packetstreamer/receiver.yaml

Sensor side​

docker run --rm -it \
    --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --net=host \
    -v $(pwd)/contrib/config:/etc/packetstreamer \
    deepfenceio/deepfence_packetstreamer \
    sensor --config /etc/packetstreamer/sensor-local.yaml

The sensor requires --net=host and NET_ADMIN capability in order to capture all of the packets on the host.

echo 'GET http://some_ip:80' | vegeta attack -rate 100 -duration 5m | tee results.bin | vegeta report

The pcap dump file is available in $HOME/container_tmp/dump_file.
