Support Arista cEOS 4.32+ in Docker
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2025 5:34 pm
Arista EOS (all variants) switched off CentOS to ALMA Linux in 4.32.x. When I try to follow the steps to have cEOS built as a docker.io image for use in EVE-NG Pro 6.2.0-20 the node will not stay running for more than 4 secs. When I try cEOS images below 4.32.x the Image will start and telnet console access goes to the Linux root cli, but when starting the Cli for the EOS shell, it can't find sysdb and starts in Standalone mode.
Arista points out that cEOS works in ContainerLab and GNS3, and I thought GNS3 was a predecessor to EVE-NG. So I am asking that cEOS on ALMA (Versions 4.32 and up) be looked at for operation as a Docker.io container model to permit larger node counts that QEMU supports.
