Docker infrastructure is broken and packaging has some issues

[naknakshota]

Also if you do a docker-compose or even build the image and mount the source code, it won't actually start the chewie container because of this issue.

Chewie needs to be run as a module instead of just as a standalone python file (otherwise you get python path errors like you're getting).

I see there are lots of other problems with the dockerfiles, docker-compose.yml and the documentation on running the dockers. I'll loop back next week and fix these.

For now I've pushed up a basic branch here that fixes the Dockerfile for chewie: #170

Want to give that a go and see how it works?

Thank you! I’ll check it out tomorrow!

Thank your patch works for me as well. Now if I want to deploy a 802.1x environement with faucet for a isolated test environment, do you recommend that I use hostapd or chewie, or some other authenticator at this stage?

[gizmoguy]

Hi @snak1219, we definitely recommend chewie over hostapd, earlier versions of faucet 802.1x used hostapd and we found their event API incredibly frustrating so we wrote chewie as a replacement for hostapd.

There is some documentation here to get your started: https://docs.faucet.nz/en/latest/configuration.html#x-dp

chewie/faucet integration is still a work in progress for us so you will see some pretty big changes over the coming months to the architecture and overall reliability of the system.

@gizmoguy thank you!!!
