Tinycore appliance upgrade or an alternative thin linux appliance #864

Open elico opened 3 months ago

elico commented 3 months ago

Tinycore linux is now on version 15 while the appliance is on version 11. I might be able to try and help to work on the 15 version but no promises.

I am looking for the right tiny linux distro to be an alternative for VPC node. The options I was thinking about were:

You have to build requirements for the supported features you want for the docker.

I would base my search on supported features: shell name(dont'care), dhcp client, all dhcpv6 client methods, non-gui, telnet, trace

Almost all gns3 users just use vpcs for dhcp and pings. I do not use vpcs.
