Dockerfile and related stuff for https://github.com/HenriWahl/dhcpy6d.
Because the main feature of dhcpy6d is its access to the requesting clients MAC addresses, it makes no sense to run inside an own container network.
The work directory inside container is /dhcpy6d - the directory dhcpy6d is intended to be mounted as volume there.
It should at least contain the file dhcpy6d.conf, which has to be configured according to https://github.com/HenriWahl/dhcpy6d/blob/master/doc/dhcpy6d.conf.rst.
For a simple test run the network interface should be set.
If SQLite is choosen as storage for the client leases the delivered /dhcpy6d/volatile.sqlite might be used.
As mentioned above - most useful when being run with --network host parameter or network_mode: host in docker-compose.yml file.
Otherwise there is no way the client MAC addresses could be transmitted.
Attention: to really deliver addresses to clients the option really_do_it has to be set to yes.
This is a safety measure to avoid chaos - there still is plenty of it.
A very simple call might be something like
# docker build -t dhcpy6d .
