docker pull oaisoftwarealliance/oai-nr-ue:develop

README](../ci-scripts/yaml_files/5g_rfsimulator/README.md) to get some
information on how to use the images.

Targets can be:

- `ran` for an image named `ran-build` (shared image)
- `build` for an image named `ran-build` (shared image)
- `eNB` for an image named `oai-enb`

The currently-supported OS are:
- `rhel8.2` for Red Hat Entreprise Linux

- `ubuntu18` for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
The currently-supported cluster version is:

## 3.2. Building the shared images ##
Note: This can be done starting `2020.XX` tag on the `develop` branch, or any branch that includes that tag.
There are two shared images: one that has all dependencies, and a second that compiles all targets (eNB, gNB, [nr]UE).
```bash
git clone https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/oai/openairinterface5g.git
cd openairinterface5g
git checkout develop
```
In our Eurecom/OSA environment we need to pass a GIT proxy.
```bash
docker build --target ran-base --tag ran-base:latest --file docker/Dockerfile.base.ubuntu18 --build-arg NEEDED_GIT_PROXY="http://proxy.eurecom.fr:8080" .
docker build --target ran-build --tag ran-build:latest --file docker/Dockerfile.build.ubuntu18 --build-arg NEEDED_GIT_PROXY="http://proxy.eurecom.fr:8080" .
```
if you don't need it, do NOT pass any value:
```bash
docker build --target ran-base --tag ran-base:latest --file docker/Dockerfile.base.ubuntu18 .
docker build --target ran-build --tag ran-build:latest --file docker/Dockerfile.build.ubuntu18 .

Analogous to the above steps:
```
sudo podman build --target ran-base --tag ran-base:latest --file docker/Dockerfile.base.rhel8.2 .
sudo podman build --target ran-build --tag ran-build:latest --file docker/Dockerfile.build.rhel8.2 .

# 5. Running modems using `docker` under Ubuntu 18.04 #
TODO.
The easiest is to run them from a `docker-compose` file, which is used by the
CI to test OAI. Some folders under `ci-scripts/yaml_files` have a README that
you can follow. For 5G, the easiest is to start with the RFsimulator, as
described in [this README](../ci-scripts/yaml_files/5g_rfsimulator/README.md)
(you would of course use your own images instead of downloading them from
Docker hub).
For an example using a B210, please refer to [this `docker-compose`
file](../ci-scripts/yaml_files/sa_b200_gnb/docker-compose.yml).
