Hello BurlyLuo and Nicolas,

I too would like to know what version of Fedora you are running OVS and OVS-toolbox on. That being said, they both should work on similar systems, like Centos. I am running CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core), probably the biggest difference is CentOS 7 still uses yum, while Fedora uses dnf, and Fedora is upstream from CentOS.

Thank you,

Daryl

Hello,

OK, I should add a compatibility section in the wiki to show OS/packages I have tested ovs-toolbox with !

ovs-toolbox is compatible with latest ubuntu / centos / fedora platforms. Let me one week, and I'll complete wiki with more accurate details about tested platforms.

Here are my Fedora caracteristics:

$ rpm -q python3 python3-qt5 plotnetcfg graphviz fedora-release-common virt-install libvirt-client qemu-kvm
python3-3.8.6-1.fc32.x86_64
python3-qt5-5.14.2-3.fc32.x86_64
plotnetcfg-0.4.1-12.fc32.x86_64
graphviz-2.42.4-1.fc32.x86_64
fedora-release-common-32-4.noarch
virt-install-2.2.1-3.fc32.noarch
libvirt-client-6.1.0-4.fc32.x86_64
qemu-kvm-4.2.1-1.fc32.x86_64

$ pip3 list | egrep 'lxml|paramiko'
lxml 4.4.1
paramiko 2.7.1

$ docker -v
Docker version 19.03.11, build 42e35e6

and of course openvswitch !!!!

$ rpm -q openvswitch
openvswitch-2.13.1-1.fc32.x86_64

These packages will be needed if you play with docker networking, but I guess they are are already part of Fedora default installation.

$ rpm -q iproute util-linux
iproute-5.7.0-1.fc32.x86_64
util-linux-2.35.2-1.fc32.x86_64

Under Fedora, util-linux provides nsenter command. ( ovs-toolbox is using nsenter to enter into docker container namespace. )

Thanks，well received the feedbacck.
About the docker image,if we run the test container with fedora image,unfortunately，the image can not contain the basic network tools,Like ping,ifconfig,tcpdump and so on.
there is option to use,the image is docker.io/burlyluo/nettoolbox:v1 which build by myself.and the image has the small size.
you can use the commond view the image details:
docker history --format {{.CreatedBy}} --no-trunc=true "docker.io/burlyluo/nettoolbox:v1"|sed "s//bin/sh\ -c\ #(nop)\ //g"|sed "s//bin/sh\ -c/RUN/g" |tac

THX.
In my platform,the CentOS 7,It works well.
I think the software can not depend on the platform.maybe.
