Running

The official docker image is f5networks/f5-ipam-ctlr.

Usually, the controller is deployed in an orchestration environment. However, the controller can be run locally for development testing.

docker run f5networks/f5-ipam-ctlr /app/bin/f5-ipam-ctlr <args>

Building

The official images are built using docker, but the adventurous can use standard go build tools.

Official Build

Prerequisites:

• Docker

git clone https://github.com/f5networks/f5-ipam-ctlr.git
cd  f5-ipam-ctlr

# Use docker to build the release artifacts, into a local "_docker_workspace" directory, then put into docker images
# Alpine image
make prod

OR

# RHEL7 image
make prod BASE_OS=rhel7

Alternate, unofficial build

A normal go and godep toolchain can be used as well

Prerequisites:

• go 1.9.4
• $GOPATH pointing at a valid go workspace
