Any official ns-3 docker images with optimized size for emulation?

[Percy Liu]

Hi all,

when I use ns-3 for network protocol emulation, the dependencies to compile ns-3 usually take a lot of disk space on my laptop. Also, sometimes it might be slow for first-time compiling ns-3. 

Is there any plan to maintain an official ns-3 docker images like this one hub.docker.com/r/wirepas/ns3-docker? It is supposed to benefit for the community as it can not only minimize the image size but also catch up the latest release source code.

Best,

Percy Liu

I believe that there has been some interest but we may be lacking a
volunteer to maintain such images. General-purpose images are available
from the GitLab.com CI system but nothing tuned for emulation. If you
or anyone would like to help with such maintenance, please volunteer on
the ns-developers email list or in our Zulip chatroom.
