Development Setup

Environmental Preparation

Kube-OVN uses Golang to develop and Go Modules to manage dependency, please check env GO111MODULE="on"。

golangci-lint is used to scan code for compliance issues. It needs to be installed in the development environment. Please refer to local-installation.

To reduce the size of the final generated image, Kube-OVN uses some of the Docker buildx experimental features, please update Docker to the latest version and enable buildx:

docker buildx create --use

Build Image

Use the following command to download the code and generate the image required to run Kube-OVN:

git clone https://github.com/kubeovn/kube-ovn.git
cd kube-ovn
make release

To build an image to run in an ARM environment, run the following command:

make release-arm

Building the Base Image

If you need to change the operating system version, dependencies, OVS/OVN code, etc., you need to rebuild the base image.

The Dockerfile used for the base image is dist/images/Dockerfile.base.

Build instructions:

# build x86 base image
make base-amd64

# build arm base image
make base-arm64

Run E2E

Kube-OVN uses:

  • KIND to build local Kubernetes cluster：go install sigs.k8s.io/kind@latest
  • jinjanator to render templates: pip install jinjanator
  • Ginkgo to run test cases：go install github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/ginkgo; go get github.com/onsi/gomega/...

Please refer to the relevant documentation for dependency installation.

Run E2E locally:

make kind-init
make kind-install
make e2e

To run the Underlay E2E test, run the following commands:

make kind-init
make kind-install-underlay
make e2e-underlay-single-nic

To run the ovn vpc nat gw eip, fip, snat, dnat E2E test, run the following commands:

make kind-init
make kind-install
make ovn-vpc-nat-gw-conformance-e2e

To run the iptables vpc nat gw eip, fip, snat, dnat E2E test, run the following commands:

make kind-init
make kind-install
make iptables-vpc-nat-gw-conformance-e2e

To run the loadbalancer service E2E test, run the following commands:

make kind-init
make kind-install
make kube-ovn-lb-svc-conformance-e2e

To clean, run the following commands:
