This page is only valid for an `Ubuntu18` host.
This tutorial is only valid once this file is merged into the `develop` branch.
# 1. Retrieving the images on Docker-Hub #
Currently the images are hosted under the user account `rdefosseoai`.
This may change in the future.
Once again you may need to log on [docker-hub](https://hub.docker.com/) if your organization has reached pulling limit as `anonymous`.
```bash
$ docker login
Login with your Docker ID to push and pull images from Docker Hub. If you don't have a Docker ID, head over to https://hub.docker.com to create one.
Username:
Password:
```
Now pull images.
```bash
$ docker pull mysql:5.7
$ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-amf:latest
$ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-nrf:latest
$ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-smf:latest
$ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-spgwu-tiny:latest
$ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-gnb:develop
$ docker pull rdefosseoai/oai-nr-ue:develop
$ docker pull rdefosseoai/proxy:latest
```
And **re-tag** them for tutorials' docker-compose file to work.
```bash
$ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-amf:latest oai-amf:latest
$ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-nrf:latest oai-nrf:latest
$ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-smf:latest oai-smf:latest
$ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-spgwu-tiny:latest oai-spgwu-tiny:latest
$ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-gnb:develop oai-gnb:develop
$ docker image tag rdefosseoai/oai-nr-ue:develop oai-nr-ue:develop
$ docker image tag rdefosseoai/proxy:latest oai-lte-multi-ue-proxy:latest
```
```bash
$ docker logout
```
Note that the proxy image is based on the source available at [https://github.com/EpiSci/oai-lte-5g-multi-ue-proxy](https://github.com/EpiSci/oai-lte-5g-multi-ue-proxy).
At time of writing, the `latest` tag corresponded to `56cfdc046a5f96d5e67d42a2fc2bf6ba2fe58b41` commit.
# 2. Deploy containers #
**CAUTION: this SHALL be done in multiple steps.**
**Just `docker-compose up -d` WILL NOT WORK!**
All the following commands **SHALL** be run from the `ci-scripts/yaml_files/5g_l2sim_tdd` folder.
The `gNB`, `proxy` and `NR-UE` containers will be deployed in `host`-mode. It will use the host loopback interface to connect.
```bash
sudo ifconfig lo: 127.0.0.2 netmask 255.0.0.0 up
```
## 2.1. Deploy OAI 5G Core Network ##
```bash
$ cd ci-scripts/yaml_files/5g_l2sim_tdd
$ docker-compose up -d mysql oai-nrf oai-amf oai-smf oai-spgwu oai-ext-dn
Creating network "l2sim-oai-public-net" with driver "bridge"
Creating network "l2sim-oai-traffic_net-net" with driver "bridge"
Creating l2sim-oai-nrf ... done
Creating l2sim-mysql ... done
Creating l2sim-oai-spgwu ... done
Creating l2sim-oai-amf ... done
Creating l2sim-oai-smf ... done
Creating l2sim-oai-ext-dn ... done
```
Wait for a bit.
```bash
$ docker-compose ps -a
Name Command State Ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
l2sim-mysql docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld Up (healthy) 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp
l2sim-oai-amf /bin/bash /openair-amf/bin ... Up (healthy) 38412/sctp, 80/tcp, 9090/tcp

l2sim-oai-spgwu /openair-spgwu-tiny/bin/en ... Up (healthy) 2152/udp, 8805/udp
```
At this point, you can prepare a capture on the newly-created public docker bridges:
```bash
$ ifconfig
...

```
## 2.2. Deploy OAI gNB in Standalone Mode as a VNF ##
**CAUTION: To execute this 2nd step, the whole `CN5G` SHALL be in `healthy` state (especially the `mysql` container).**
```bash
$ docker-compose up -d oai-gnb
l2sim-oai-nrf is up-to-date
l2sim-oai-spgwu is up-to-date
l2sim-oai-ext-dn is up-to-date
Creating l2sim-oai-gnb ... done
```
Wait for a bit.
```bash
$ docker-compose ps -a
Name Command State Ports
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
l2sim-mysql docker-entrypoint.sh mysqld Up (healthy) 3306/tcp, 33060/tcp
l2sim-oai-amf /bin/bash /openair-amf/bin ... Up (healthy) 38412/sctp, 80/tcp, 9090/tcp
l2sim-oai-ext-dn /bin/bash -c apt update; ... Up (healthy)
l2sim-oai-gnb /opt/oai-gnb/bin/entrypoin ... Up (healthy)
l2sim-oai-nrf /bin/bash /openair-nrf/bin ... Up (healthy) 80/tcp, 9090/tcp

l2sim-oai-spgwu /openair-spgwu-tiny/bin/en ... Up (healthy) 2152/udp, 8805/udp
```
You can verify that the `gNB` is connected with the `AMF`:
```bagh
$ docker logs rfsim5g-oai-amf
...

[AMF] [amf_app] [info ] |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
...
```
## 2.3. Deploy OAI NR-UE and proxy
```bash
$ docker-compose up -d proxy oai-nr-ue0
l2sim-mysql is up-to-date
l2sim-oai-nrf is up-to-date
l2sim-oai-amf is up-to-date
l2sim-oai-smf is up-to-date
l2sim-oai-spgwu is up-to-date
l2sim-oai-ext-dn is up-to-date
l2sim-oai-gnb is up-to-date
Creating l2sim-oai-nr-ue ... done
Creating l2sim-proxy ... done
```
Wait for a bit.
```bash

```
**CAUTION: As you can see the CPU usage is not that important compared to a 5G RF simulator equivalent.**
But the CPU speed matters; I am running on a fast server:
```bash
$ lscpu
Architecture: x86_64
CPU(s): 16
...
Model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4215R CPU @ 3.20GHz
```
I tried on a slower server with more CPUs and it did not work:
```bash
oaici@orion:~$ lscpu
Architecture: x86_64
CPU(s): 48
...
Model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2658 v3 @ 2.20GHz
```
We will work on this issue.
Making sure the OAI UE is connected:
```bash
$ docker exec -it l2sim-oai-nr-ue /bin/bash
root@bb4d400a832d:/opt/oai-nr-ue# ifconfig

# 3. Check traffic #
## 3.1. Check your Internet connectivity ##
You can also check with the `ext-dn` container (IP address is `192.168.72.135` in docker-compose)
```bash
$ docker exec -it l2sim-oai-nr-ue /bin/bash
root@bb4d400a832d# ping -I oaitun_ue1 -c 20 192.168.72.135

# 5. Adapt the `docker-compose` to your environment #
In the `SMF` section, provide your own DNS IP address:
```yaml
DEFAULT_DNS_IPV4_ADDRESS=192.168.18.129
```
In the `gNB` section, provide your docker-host primary IP address and interface name: in our case `192.168.18.193` and `eno1`.
```yaml
GNB_NGA_IF_NAME: eno1
GNB_NGA_IP_ADDRESS: 192.168.18.193
GNB_NGU_IF_NAME: eno1
GNB_NGU_IP_ADDRESS: 192.168.18.193
```
Same thing in the `nr-ue` section:
```yaml
NR_UE_NFAPI_IF_NAME: eno1
```
This tutorial is a first draft. This nFAPI feature and the proxy are still under development.
At time of writing, we were able to run in `host-mode`, 1 `NR-UE` and just ping traffic.
Later development will include:
- deploying `gNB-VNF`, `proxy` and `UE` in isolated containers (with their own IP address)
- more UEs
- more traffic (`UDP` and `TCP`)
