Getting started

Build dependencies

• golang
• make (optional)

Runtime dependencies

• iproute2
• iptables

Build and install

Simply run make build and make install.

Docker

If you plan using NextMN-SRv6 with Docker:

• The container requires the NET_ADMIN capability;
• The container should enable IPv6, and Segment Routing
• The container requires the forwarding to be enabled (not enabled by the container itself);
• The tun interface (/dev/net/tun) must be available in the container.

This can be done in docker-compose.yaml by defining the following for the service:

cap_add:
    - NET_ADMIN
devices:
    - "/dev/net/tun"
sysctls:
    - net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0
    - net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
    - net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
    - net.ipv6.conf.all.seg6_enabled=1
    - net.ipv6.conf.default.seg6_enabled=1
