After discussions in the development team, and an external demo, we decided to rename file mounts to just mounts and adopt established nomenclature. With this change we now allow mounting any type of file or directory from the host to the container, for regular files/directories a bind mount is used. We also introduce 'source' and 'type', to support mounting of host files and directories, the destination path has been renamed to 'target'. The mount cousin, 'volume', which basically is a specialized mount, has also been updated to use 'target'. The 'source' and 'content' are now hidden behind a YANG choice to ensure users can only use them the intended way (either/or not both). Initial models had 'destination' (path) as mandatory, with this change we can reintroduce that to ensure this proper configurations. The documentation in both YANG model and markdown has been updated, significantly, to provide lots of examples. Please note, glob style mounts have not been tested, at all.

Documentation
Infix is a Linux Network Operating System (NOS) based on Buildroot, and sysrepo. A powerful mix that ease porting to different platforms, simplify long-term maintenance, and provide made-easy management using NETCONF1 (remote) or the built-in command line interface (CLI) (click the foldout for an example).
Example CLI Session
The CLI configure context is automatically generated from the loaded YANG models and their corresponding sysrepo plugins. The following is brief example of how to set the IP address of an interface:
admin@infix-12-34-56:/> configure
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/> edit interface eth0
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> set ipv4 <TAB>
address autoconf bind-ni-name enabled
forwarding mtu neighbor
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> set ipv4 address 192.168.2.200 prefix-length 24
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> show
type ethernet;
ipv4 {
address 192.168.2.200 {
prefix-length 24;
}
}
ipv6
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> diff
interfaces {
interface eth0 {
+ ipv4 {
+ address 192.168.2.200 {
+ prefix-length 24;
+ }
+ }
}
}
admin@infix-12-34-56:/config/interface/eth0/> leave
admin@infix-12-34-56:/> show interfaces

Infix can run on many different types of architectures and boards, much thanks to Linux and Buildroot. Currently the focus is on 64-bit ARM devices, optionally with switching fabric supported by Linux switchdev. The following boards are fully supported:
- Marvell CN9130 CRB
- Marvell EspressoBIN
- Microchip SparX-5i PCB135 (eMMC)
An x86_64 build is also available, primarily intended for development and testing, but can also be used for evaluation and demo purposes. For more information, see: Infix in Virtual Environments.
See the GitHub Releases page for our pre-built images. The Latest Build has the bleeding edge images, if possible we recommend using a versioned release.
For customer specific builds of Infix, see your product repository.
