[Ndn-interest] [EXTERNAL] Re: [EXT] Getting started with ndn-pyton

Thank you.  That was very helpful.

Here is my writeup of how to run NFD and ndnsec in docker, then use Pycharm to run an app with only python-ndn on the host.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ig1XL0CBlvBT4yo-qJv9om5OMAcbzb7UPOOZQOmV_RI/edit?usp=sharing

From the point of view of someone who just wants to write a couple apps and not fiddle with NFD or the client library, it is still a bit painful.  The NDN documentation and “101.named-data.net” are not sufficient for an outsider to get started.

Hi Marc

The "official" Docker release is published on GitHub Container Registry:

  *   https://github.com/named-data/ndn-cxx/pkgs/container/ndn-cxx
  *   https://github.com/named-data/NFD/pkgs/container/nfd
  *   https://github.com/named-data/NFD/pkgs/container/nfd-status-http-server
I believe these are amd64 only, but the Dockerfiles are in the git repository.
These were developed at the 15th NDN hackathon.
The recent 16th NDN hackathon developed ndnping and NLSR containers, but they are not yet published.


The scripts in yoursunny/docker-nfd<https://github.com/yoursunny/docker-nfd> repository are mainly for running NFD on Raspberry Pi Zero W and BeagleBone Black devices.
In 2021, I made NFD-nightly<https://nfd-nightly.ndn.today/> that publishes .deb packages for NFD and related software, which replaced docker-nfd scripts.

You can use a RUN step to install NFD-nightly into a Docker container image.
Here's an example: https://github.com/usnistgov/ndn-dpdk/blob/2e1dda9f261a10fa12f2b82386f547e7a7bd2ad4/docs/interop/nfd/Dockerfile

For ARMv8, you can use debian:bullseye base image and install NFD-nightly Debian 11 ARMv8 packages.
I will add Debian 12 ARMv8 build on NFD-nightly soonTM.


In most cases, python-ndn examples only require one ndnsec command as preparation:
ndnsec key-gen /$(hostname -s)/$(id -un)

Yours, Junxiao

Hello,

I’d like to setup a fresh environment on ubuntu 22.04, but there seems to not be any quick getting started document.  Is there one?  Otherwise, I’m writing up my notes in google docs.

I’d like to run NFD and associated tools in docker.  Is there an official docker release, or build process?  I’ve found github.com/yoursunny/docker-nfd<http://github.com/yoursunny/docker-nfd>, but I’m working in an ARM64 native environment (aarch64) and those scripts have a bunch of stuff baked into them.

I also could not find a getting started with ndnsec, and the ndn-python examples assume you have NFD and credentials setup.

Thanks,
Marc
