The project has been moved so internally we simply rename everything. Consumers are recommended to update their vendored version of cni.

# dhcp plugin
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
With dhcp plugin the containers can get an IP allocated by a DHCP server already running on your network.
|
|
This can be especially useful with plugin types such as [macvlan](https://github.com/containernetworking/cni/blob/master/Documentation/macvlan.md).
|
|
Because a DHCP lease must be periodically renewed for the duration of container lifetime, a separate daemon is required to be running.
|
|
The same plugin binary can also be run in the daemon mode.
|
|
|
|
## Operation
|
|
To use the dhcp IPAM plugin, first launch the dhcp daemon:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Make sure the unix socket has been removed
|
|
$ rm -f /run/cni/dhcp.sock
|
|
$ ./dhcp daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use systemd socket activation protocol.
|
|
Be sure that the .socket file uses /run/cni/dhcp.sock as the socket path.
|
|
|
|
With the daemon running, containers using the dhcp plugin can be launched.
|
|
|
|
## Example configuration
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"ipam": {
|
|
"type": "dhcp",
|
|
}
