Can I run containerlab in my Raspberry pi 4 8gb?

[rodhpadilla]

Does anyone know if containerlab support ARM64 processors?
in the documentation only mention about AMD64

Hi
we do not build arm64 containerlab, since there is a shortage of network OS that support this arch
but you can build one yourself for sure

Hey Roman, thanks a lot for your quick answer!
To be honest with you I have not idea about how can I do this.
Any idea/recommendation about how can I start reading about build this for ARM or any other architecture.

you just need to instal Go on your system and then run go build command
this article should give all the pointers

which network os you want to use containerlab with on rpi?

[rodhpadilla]

it would be great CSR1000v/XRv9k or whatever tiny network OS that does not require too much ram. In the past I did use vyattaOS and it went OK in an old linux box.

those images are only available for amd64 arch, so you won't be able to run them on rpi
I don't know if vyatta has an arm build

[rodhpadilla]

I think VyOS has an ARM build

Linux/Arm64 builds for containerlab have been provided

I'll check it in a few weeks
