Hi Aliasgar,

Thanks for the patch. This is interesting. I tried out both the OVS patch
and this one.

When applying this patch (and the OVS one too), I found some white space
warnings.
Please run ovs/utilities/checkpatch.py -1

I was able to successfully build the docker images on my Fedora 30.
ovn-nb, ovn-sb and northd containers
work fine without any issues.

I have trouble running ovn-controller container as it requires that OVS
containers are run first.

With the OVS container patch, I had issues starting ovs-vswitchd container.
Looks like it tries
to load ovs kernel module. I think it fails since I am running fedora and
the image is ubuntu.

I am not sure if you want to build ovs kernel module from sources. Why
can't we rely on the host kernel module
from the distro ?


Is it possible to delink OVN from OVS. I mean we should be able to start
ovn-conroller container even if ovs is running
as a service. Mounting proper host directories like /var/run/openvswitch
when starting the container should be good enough
for ovn-controller to talk to ovsdb-server and ovs-vswitchd.

For ovn db services, it using tcp. Can't we add support to use unix sockets
as well ? I am fine adding this support as a follow up
patch.

Thanks
Numan
