Unable to build bootz server/emulator using bazel. about bootz

[melzhan]

Hi, we have been intending to remove Bazel support but haven't gotten around to it.

Please use the following workflow to build and run the server:

1. Enter the server/emulator directory in a terminal

2. Build with:
   go build main.go

3. Run with:
   ./main

You can use the flag -alsologtostderr to easily view logs for the workflow.

To test against the emulated client provided:

1. Open a second terminal and enter the client directory
2. Build with: go build client.go
3. Run with: ./client -alsologtostderr

Please let me know if I can help with anything else :)

Hi, thanks for the reply. I was using go build before, but I thought I might be missing something due to the many instances of bazel files. Thanks for clearing that up!

I'm now trying to run the built-in dhcp server locally by passing the dhcp option in emulator, and adding the virtual network interface's mac address to the inventory_local.prototxt file.

When I run the client (used the dhcp client from this and integrated in bootz/client) I'm getting:

2024/03/07 17:33:14 [eth0.2] sending Discover
2024/03/07 17:33:19 [eth0.2] error: resource temporarily unavailable

using tcp dump and pcap I have checked that the interface running the server is successfully receiving the requests, but no reponse is being sent by the server.

I'd be grateful you can point out what I'm doing wrong or if you can guide me to a better way to test the dhcp server and client locally(maybe using docker containers for each one), so i can move to the next stage of the boot process.

EDIT: nvm figured out how to run the dhcp server and client on different docker containers and actually get a valid response back by putting the dhcp on host network and client on a custom one. thanks regardless, I'll probably annoy you guys with further questions and issues down the line anyways.
