Policy for new appliances
#########################
We welcome pull requests for new appliances.
Regarding images / disks referenced in new appliance files, we accept links
that point to well-known vendor websites or other trusted source websites.
For new contribution, we accept links depending on multiple criteria: the kind of appliance,
who submits it and especially if scripts to build the images(s) are provided (packer scripts are
recommended for Qemu appliances). Then we will build on our side, verify and upload the image(s)
on the GNS3 Sourceforge account.
For Docker appliances, please provide a Dockerfile.
Add a new symbol
################
Look for examples in the symbols directory.
Add a new appliance
###################
Two way to create a new appliance:
- Copy paste a JSON from the appliances directory
- Use the new_appliance.py
After that you can send us a pull request on Github.
In schemas/appliance.json you have a JSON with a schema for controlling the file
and can be use as documentation for each fields.
Docker container
################
This repository contain also the source of Docker container publish by the GNS3
team and that can be used as appliance in GNS3.
Tools

All tools require python3 and the installation of dependencies via:

Check appliance files

.. code:: bash
python3 check.py

If `imagemagick` is installed, it will be used to check the symbol properties.
Otherwise an (experimental) internal function will do that.

Prettify appliances JSON

This will indent the JSON of all appliance and sort the key in same order as
the JSON schema.
