Install NSO in a container on a MAC

[rjbotham]

Hi All,

I'm trying to get NSO working in a container following all the steps from https://github.com/NSO-developer/nso-docker

However, I get right to the end of the 'make' and get this error 

I'm no 'make' expert but some guidance would be gratefully appreciated

Hi,

tl;dr : Consider the https://developer.cisco.com/docs/nso/guides/#!containerized-nso to get pre made containers. If you prefer nso-docker, then get the latest version of nso-docker from https://gitlab.com/nso-developer/nso-docker and try again.

Ok, so the slightly longer discussion.

The problem is that one out of a long list of commands failed when you ran make.

Make ran the *build*,*build-file*, and then *build/nso-install-files/nso-6.2.linux.x86_64.installer.bin* targets in that order and in the last target there was a problem when the container was built.

The list of commands comes from the docker-images/Dockerfile and in there we do a bunch of stuff, one of them is the:

/bin/sh -c apt-get update   && apt-get install -qy   default-jre-headless   iputils-ping   less   libexpat1   logrotate   make   openssh-client   procps   python3   tcpdump   telnet   xmlstarlet   xsltproc   && apt-get install -qy --no-install-recommends python3-pip   && pip3 install debugpy   && apt-get -qy purge python3-pip   && apt-get -qy autoremove   && apt-get clean   && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* /root/.cache   && echo '. /opt/ncs/current/ncsrc' >> /root/.bashrc   && groupadd ncsadmin   && usermod -a -G ncsadmin root   && rm /etc/logrotate.d/*   && find /etc/cron.daily/ -type f -not -name logrotate -exec rm {}

We don't know which one of these failed, and when I look at my docker-images/Dockerfile mine does not run the same commands. It works for me to build locally (on a Mac) and I see the *nso-docker* repositories have diverged between Gitlab and Github (they should be mirrored) so something might have happened.

So try and get the Gitlab version :git clone https://gitlab.com/nso-developer/nso-docker.git

But nso-docker was developed before we had the pre made NSO containers so you might not have go through all of this trouble. Take a look at the https://developer.cisco.com/docs/nso/guides/#!containerized-nso/containerized-nso

Hope that helps!
