This page describes how to get the release A version of NonRTRIC up and running locally with two separate NearRT-RIC simulator docker containers.

All four components of the NonRTRIC repo run inside docker containers and communicate via a docker network. Details of the architecture can be found in the link: Release A.

Project Requirements

• Java 11 (make sure that JAVA_HOME environment variable points to correct Java version)
• Maven 3.6
• Docker and docker-compose (latest)

Build Code

• Download the nonrtric repo: 

     git clone "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/nonrtric" -b Amber

• To support local test with two separate NearRT-RIC simulator instances the following modifications must be done:  
  • change the 'a1ControllerBaseUrl' in application.yaml file of policy-agent to http://a1-controller-container:8181 (The current URL http://sdnc.onap:8282 is used in Kubernetes-based ONAP deployment).

    vi nonrtric/policy-agent/config/application.yaml
    
    

  • replace application_configuration.yaml of policy-agent with the following content:

          vi nonrtric/policy-agent/config/application_configuration.yaml

{
   "config": {
      "//description": "Application configuration",
      "ric": [
         {
            "name": "ric1",
            "baseUrl": "http://ric1:8085/",  
            "managedElementIds": [
               "kista_1",
               "kista_2"
            ]
         },
         {
            "name": "ric2",
            "baseUrl": "http://ric2:8085/",
            "managedElementIds": [
               "kista_3",
               "kista_4"
            ]
         }
      ]
   }
}

• Build the code and create docker images. 

  cd nonrtric
  mvn clean install
  

Run A1 Controller Docker Container

• A1 Controller must be started first to set up docker network
• Change directory to: 

  cd nonrtric/sdnc-a1-controller/oam/installation/src/main/yaml

• Run docker container using the command below and wait until this message appears 'Healthcheck Passed in XX seconds'. 

  docker-compose up a1-controller

• The Karaf logs of A1 controller can be seen using the following commands: 

  docker exec -it a1-controller-container sh
  cd opt/opendaylight/data/log/
  tail -f karaf.log

Run Near-RT-RIC Simulator Docker Containers

• Start two docker containers using following commands: 

  docker run -p 8085:8085 --network=nonrtric-docker-net --name=ric1 o-ran-sc/near-rt-ric-simulator:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT
  docker run -p 8086:8085 --network=nonrtric-docker-net --name=ric2 o-ran-sc/near-rt-ric-simulator:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT
  

• Change directory to:  

  cd nonrtric/near-rt-ric-simulator/ric-plt/a1

• Put an example policy_type into the near-rt-ric-simulator instances by running these curl commands:

  curl -X PUT -v "http://localhost:8085/policytypes/STD_QoSNudging_0.2.0" -H "accept: application/json" 
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary @policy_type_STD_QoSNudging_0.2.0.json
  
  curl -X PUT -v "http://localhost:8086/policytypes/STD_QoSNudging_0.2.0" -H "accept: application/json" 
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary @policy_type_STD_QoSNudging_0.2.0.json

Run Policy-agent Docker Container

• Run docker container using this command: 

  docker run -p 8081:8081 --network=nonrtric-docker-net --name=policy-agent-container o-ran-sc/nonrtric-policy-agent:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Run Non-RT-RIC Dashboard Docker Container

• Run docker container using this command: 

  docker run -p 8080:8080 --network=nonrtric-docker-net o-ran-sc/nonrtric-dashboard:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

Open Dashboard UI

• Dashboard UI can be accessed by pointing the web-browser to this URL: 

  http://localhost:8080/
