Warning

netplanner is deprecated.

We've created this project to implement a few features that we were missing from canonical/netplan. Since version 1.0.0 of netplan, all features we require are implemented upstream. A few of them were also contributed by us. We will therefore retire this project in favour of upstream.

Description

Netplanner implements the top-down datacenter approach for IP and Network Interface Management. It plans the network on the host by using systemd-networkd as the underlying network configuration provider.

It refuses to implement L2 capabilities such as DHCP.

It also implements interfaces which are needed for L3 capabilities such as Veth and Dummy interface types.

It is open to be extended with other providers which have a different text-based input.

We relicensed this project to GPLv3 recently to cater for derivative work from netplan and to ease integration.
