2. It can run with a variety of setups: Docker, Podman, K8S, OpenShift, etc...
3. It can be used as a basis for other P4 runtime testing suites.
4. It's much smaller than a VM image.
5. When converted into a Apptainer SIF, it can be launched as a single binary
executable.
User Tools
----------
The containers are built with several additional user tools already in place,
including but not limited to:
1. `vim`/`emacs`: text editing.
2. `git`: version control.
3. `tmux`: terminal multiplexing.
3. `tshark`/`termshark`/`tcpdump`: packets inspection.
4. `htop`: visual overview of processes.
5. `man`/`less`: documentation support.
5. When converted into a singularity container, it can be launched as a single
binary executable.
How to Use
----------
There are two ways of launching P4-in-a-Bottle:
### Apptainer
### Singularity
Apptainer is a new container runtime developed specificly for software that
require low-level access to hardware (i.e. NVIDIA drivers, network devices,
etc). This is great for P4-in-a-Bottle, since Mininet requires access to
Singularity is a container runtime by Sylabs developed specificly for software
that require low-level access to hardware (i.e. NVIDIA drivers, network
devices). This is great for P4-in-a-Bottle, since Mininet requires access to
networking kernel components to work.

Unfortunately, Singularity only works natively on Linux, so if you're on Mac or
Windows (without WSL), you're out-of-luck here and should proceed to the docker
instructions below.
To use P4-in-a-Bottle with Apptainer:
1. Install Apptainer from [GitHub](https://github.com/apptainer/apptainer/releases).
2. Clone and cd into this repository.
3. Download a pre-built image
[p4iab.sif](https://git.inkweaver.net/inkweaver/P4-in-a-Bottle/releases)
and place it in the same directory alongside `README.md`.
4. Run `make app-run`. A shared directory `shared/` will be created to allow
To use P4-in-a-Bottle with Singularity:
1. Install singularity from [GitHub](https://github.com/sylabs/singularity/releases).
2. Download a pre-built image `p4iab.sif` and place it in the same directory
as this README. If you skip this step YOU WILL BUILD BOTH THE DOCKER
CONTAINER AND THE SINGULARITY CONTAINER FROM SOURCE. (Trust me, you do NOT
want to build this yourself).
3. Run `make sc-run`. A shared directory `shared/` will be created to allow
you to move files between the container and your system.
### Docker
If you are stuck with docker, don't panic! The instructions are slightly more
complicated but everything should still work.
If you are stuck with docker, don't panic! The instructions are longer but

1. Install docker on your system. This should be pretty self-explanatory.
2. Clone and cd into this repository.
3. Download a pre-built image

and place it in the same directory alongside `README.md`.
4. Run `docker load -i p4iab.tar.gz` to import the container into docker.
5. Run `make run`. A shared directory `shared/` will be created to allow
2. Download a pre-built image `p4iab.tar.gz` and place it in the same directory
as this README. Then run `docker load -i p4iab.tar.gz && touch .docker_build`.
If you skip this step YOU WILL BUILD THE DOCKER CONTAINER FROM SOURCE. Do
so only if you know what you are doing.
3. Run `make run`. A shared directory `shared/` will be created to allow
you to move files between the container and your system.
Regardless of which method you run the container, you will be dropped into a
shell with the user P4. The password for the P4 user account is simply `p4`.
