govpp is a go binding for the vpp api

This repo provides the go binding for a version of vpp (currently vpp 20.09)

import "github.com/edwarnicke/govpp/binapi"

This repo also provides minimal docker containers for running vpp:

• vpp
• vpp-dbg - debug image

What to do if you need a different version of vpp:

If you want a version of VPP, you can fork this repo and add it yourself. Because things are very heavily patterned and generated, its really quite easy:

1. Change default value for ARG VPP_VERSION in Dockerfile to the vpp tag or commit id you want to build.
2. go generate ./...
3. Add a GHCR_TOKEN secret to your fork containing a PAT allowing you to push to your Github Container Registry
4. Push a PR to your fork and merge it. This will push the vpp and vpp-dbg images to your repo.

What to do if you need to patch vpp:

If you want to add patches to vpp simply add them to the patch/ directory.

What to do if you need a different version of govpp

Change the version of govpp in the go.mod file
