netns-rs

static UT codecov

The netns-rs crate provides an ultra-simple interface for handling network namespaces in Rust. Changing namespaces requires elevated privileges, so in most cases this code needs to be run as root.

This crate only supports linux kernel.

Build

cargo build

Test(as root)

CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_RUNNER="sudo -E" cargo test

or

sudo -E cargo test

Credits

The main resource so far has been the source code of netns(golang), CNI network plugins and iproute2.

Altnernatives

https://github.com/little-dude/netlink: rtnetlink/src/ns.rs provides the same functionality, but its creation of netns in a new process feels a bit heavy.
