How can I set default UN/PW of xrv9k image

[ACodingfreak]

Hi All,

Currently when I create a new container image for xrv9k VM image, by default clab/clab@123 is the default username and password for ssh login. Where can I reset the same in vrnetlab package ?

When I used standard vrnetlab repo, I was changing the same in launch.py. But this does not seems to work with containerlab.
Any pointers would be of great help

Hi, you can override the default value here https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/blob/302a2075b2d2a72f0e83c91a1d583aa8e63c7799/xrv9k/docker/launch.py#L340

Originally it is set in containerlab and passed to vrnetlab launcher.py

make sure you're looking at hellt/vrnetlab repo and not the vrnetlab/vrnetlab

Well I am using hellt/vrnetlab repo which you have mentioned

as I mentioned, you can override the value in the highlighted line
https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/blob/302a2075b2d2a72f0e83c91a1d583aa8e63c7799/xrv9k/docker/launch.py#L340

I will try out hardcoding the username/password in designated line.

Just curious.

When you said "Originally it is set in containerlab and passed to vrnetlab launcher.py". What will be the command containerlab will call to pass this information to launcher.py.

[hellt]

Containerlab passes username and password to the launch.py as command arguments
