Best way to compile nso packages?

[Elvin J]

Currently, I am using NSO version 5.8 and I am planning to upgrade to NSO 6.1.6  Docker image. However, I have encountered a situation with my existing NED packages, which include both Cisco and custom packages.

According to their specifications, some of these NED packages need to be compiled. Now, I am seeking guidance on the best approach for integrating these NED packages into the Docker containers during the upgrade process. Specifically, I am unsure whether I should compile them as part of the container creation (if possible) or if it would be more advisable to pre-compile them and then map them into the containers.

PS: I don't want to use nso-docker

Hi,

There is a discussion on NSO docker upgrades here: https://gitlab.com/nso-developer/nso-docker

All in all, you need to make sure that the container that you are building is consistent with the NSO version. As you use persistent volumes for CDB, only when you run the container the upgrade will be performed.
