Dell SONiC startup config handling#

The Dell SONiC support has been improved by adding startup-config handling and saving #2175

Quick setup script improvements#

The quick setup script has been improved to ensure even smoother installation experience.

  • RHEL-based systems are now supported so you can install containerlab in one click on your RHELs and Rocky's. #2137
  • a sudoers file is now created to allow SSH_AUTH_SOCK env var to persist when using sudo. This allows the user to use the ssh agent of the original user when deploying a lab with sudo

  • it is no fun to use a cloud system with a lousy shell prompt. If you don't have time to setup your own custom prompt, you can now use one of the functions in the quick setup script to install a lightweight 2-line bash prompt #2174

    curl -sL https://containerlab.dev/setup | sudo -E bash -s "setup-bash-prompt"

Lab owner information#

When running in multi-user environments with several lab owners using the same containerlab host, it is important to know which lab belongs to which user. To address this, a new table column "Owner" was added to the output.

This column is populated with the username of the user who started the lab and is displayed when --wide flag is provided to the inspect command. #2161

Miscellaneous#

  • to decouple the containerlab CLI from the clab2drawio project, the --drawio-args flag was added to the graph command to allow customization of the drawio generation out of band #2143
  • Ixia/Keysight OTG updates #2156
  • improvements to docker user password handling #2167
  • various template files have been embedded into the binary, instead of polluting the /etc/containerlab directory #2169

Patches#

0.57.1#

  • fixed handling of the docker user password containing special characters #2187

0.57.2#

  • fixed erroneous warn log when command execution succeeded
