tc tool

Pumba uses tc Linux tool for network emulation. You have two options:

  1. Make sure that container, you want to disturb, has tc tool available and properly installed (install iproute2 package)
  2. Use --tc-image option, with any netem command, to specify external Docker image with tc tool available. Pumba will create a new container from this image, adding NET_ADMIN capability to it and reusing target container network stack. You can try to use gaiadocker/iproute2 image (it's just Alpine Linux 3.3 with iproute2 package installed)

Note: For Alpine Linux based image, you need to install iproute2 package and also to create a symlink pointing to distribution files ln -s /usr/lib/tc /lib/tc.

Running inside Docker container

If you choose to use Pumba Docker image on Linux, use the following command:

# once in a 10 seconds, try to kill (with `SIGTERM` signal) all containers named **hp(something)**
# on same Docker host, where Pumba container is running

$ docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock gaiaadm/pumba --interval 10s kill --signal SIGTERM ^hp

Note: from version 0.6 Pumba Docker image is a scratch Docker image, that contains only single pumba binary file and ENTRYPOINT set to the pumba command.

Note: For Windows and OS X you will need to use --host argument, since there is no unix socket /var/run/docker.sock to mount.

Running Pumba on Kubernetes cluster

If you are running Kubernetes >= 1.1.0. You can take advantage of DaemonSets to automatically deploy the Pumba on all your nodes. On 1.1.x you'll need to explicitly enable the DaemonSets extension, see documentation.

You'll then be able to deploy the DaemonSet with the command

kubectl create -f pumba_kube.yml

If you are not running Kubernetes >= 1.1.0 or do not want to use DaemonSets, you can also run the Pumba as a regular docker container on each node you want to make chaos (see above)

Build instructions

You can build Pumba with or without Go installed on your machine.

Build using local Go environment

In order to build Pumba, you need to have Go 1.6+ setup on your machine.

Here is the approximate list of commands you will need to run:

# create required folder
cd $GOPATH
mkdir github.com/alexei-led && cd github.com/alexei-led

# clone pumba
git clone git@github.com:alexei-led/pumba.git
cd pumba

# build pumba binary
./hack/build.sh

# run tests and create HTML coverage report
./hack/test.sh --html

# create pumba binaries for multiple platforms
./hack/xbuild.sh

Build using Docker

You do not have to install and configure Go in order to build and test Pumba project. Pumba uses Docker multistage build to create final tiny Docker image.

First of all clone Pumba git repository:

git clone git@github.com:alexei-led/pumba.git
cd pumba

Now create a new Pumba Docker image.

docker build -t pumba -f Dockerfile .
