We offer official support for using FastNetMon on the Docker platform. You can use it on top of any platform supported by Docker, and you can find official FastNetMon images here. FastNetMon can be used on top of Kubernetes platform without any issues.
Known restrictions for Docker packaging:
- No BGP support (can be enabled via GoBGP daemon installed on VM via API)
- No visual traffic support
To simplify the installation process for Ubuntu 18.04 and CentOS 7, we offer a completely automated installer which will install Docker, configure it, download all required images and configure them. After finishing the installation process, you will have a fully functional installation of FastNetMon Advanced.
To start, please order a trial coupon from our official trial order page and then activate the license on the server which runs Docker:
curl https://install.fastnetmon.com/installer -oinstaller sudo chmod +x installer sudo ./installer -activate_coupon -activation_coupon <coupon_code_from_email>
All containers on a physical machine can share the same license, but we will calculate their total traffic for licensing purposes.
After successful activation, you can install Docker engine and all FastNetMon containers this way:
sudo ./installer -fastnetmon_docker
If you have Docker deployed and you just need to install FastNetMon, then you can try our manual installation guide for Docker platform.
We offer exactly the same experience with Docker as we offer for bare metal install, after installing you can follow our quick start guide: https://fastnetmon.com/advanced-quick-start/
The installer tool will install fcli binary directly on the host machine, and you can use fcli from the host only:
sudo fcli
