GNS3 Talks: Network Automation Docker Container (Part 2): Python, Netmiko, Pyntc and Ansible

A new Network Automation Docker appliance is now available in the GNS3 marketplace. It solves an issue a lot of people have been asking about - how to keep Python installed when you restart GNS3. This container has Python, Netmiko, pyntc and Ansible preinstalled.

I would highly recommend Davids courses on Udemy. Very easy to follow and have been a huge help on a subject that seems daunting to many traditional network engineers. Great Job David.

David your presentation video using Network Automation w/ Docker Containers is great. I am a big fan of using Docker and Python scripts on IOS gear. Keep up the good work. The video and sound quality is good during your presentations so I will keep watching.

My network automation also warn me that "could not find a version that satisfies the requirement netmiko". My python is 3.8.3. I cant find any solution currently.

You are the best one who explains this topic clearly and to the point. But I have one question, why I cannot console connect to any switch such as etherswitch. As per my search it is unamanaged. I tried download the Cisco iOSv appliance but it gives me error missing files status. Can you help me please.

I am facing issues while setup in gns3. I tried both the docker network automation and Ubuntu but no luck

My experience, as at this date, with the Network Automation appliance, it does not work with python2-netmiko combination, until Netmiko version 2 is installed as follows: pip install netmiko==2.4.2

Perhaps the updated Netmiko 2 has been removed from the updated version which comes with python 3.8?
