Hello,

I am using ubuntu VERSION="22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)". When I try to install yaBGP, I am getting below error.

root@ubuntu:~# yabgpd -h Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/yabgpd", line 5, in <module> from yabgp.agent.cmd import main File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/yabgp/agent/__init__.py", line 21, in <module> from oslo_config import cfg File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/oslo_config/cfg.py", line 1750, in <module> class ConfigOpts(collections.Mapping): AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'Mapping'

My default python version is 3.10.12

root@ubuntu:~# python3 --version
Python 3.10.12

Could you please help me what is best practise to install ?

Hi Mahmut,

Our internal environment is still running on Python 3.6, so you will need to set up your environment with that version. Please note that Python 3.6 has been removed from Ubuntu 22.04.2, so you will need to install it from source.

Alternatively, you could deploy using Docker, but I noticed the current Dockerfile is still based on Python 2.7. https://github.com/smartbgp/yabgp/blob/master/Dockerfile#L1
We plan to update that soon.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi,

Is there any way to keep session up always? For example, if we close the SSH session, BGP peers are becoming down.
I want to run this like a service continuously.

Hi Mahmut,

Of course. For long-running instances, you can try to use the service unit file located at https://github.com/smartbgp/yabgp/blob/master/redhat/yabgp.service on Red Hat-based systems,
or simply run it in a Docker container, https://github.com/smartbgp/yabgp/blob/master/README.rst?plain=1#L90-L95.
