⁠Kube-Pipework

A docker image of jpetazzo's pipework optimized for Kubernetes

• Documentation⁠
• Kubernetes example⁠
• DockerHub Page⁠

⁠Status

Actually this project is a fork of dreamcat4/pipework⁠, it uses updated image and includes some fixes for make pipework working with Kubernetes annotations, and add VLAN support for linux bridges⁠.

Despite all the great features of Kubernetes, Pipework is still the easiest way to pastrough a static IP or physical interface into a container. Nevertheless, I would suggest you to avoid using pipework in situations where you can do without it.

Check bridget⁠ - this cni-plugin was created under impressed with Pipework, it is more native for Kubernetes and provides similar L2-network connectivity (except static IPs).

Of course you can use pipework with bridget together as well.

⁠Requirements

• Requires Docker 1.8.1
• Needs to be run in privileged mode etc.
