Docker containers
IMUNES on Linux uses Docker containers to create virtual L3 nodes. Please read the Introduction to Docker in the Docker documentation web page to better understand how Docker works in IMUNES. Also read the Docker Cheat Sheet to see how to interact with Docker containers.
The L3 nodes in an IMUNES simulation scenario are built on a Docker image provided by the IMUNES project team: the vroot-linux image. When we ran the imunes -p command during the install process, IMUNES downloaded the vroot-linux image. This image is based on the baseimage-docker Docker image so for more information about the vroot-linux image, check both the baseimage-docker documentation and the vroot-linux documentation (which discusses changes made to the baseimage-docker image).
