# ifupdown-netns
Some simple scripts to simplify configuring network namespaces on Debian-like
systems. Copy them into the corresponding directories under `/etc/network`.
To configure an interface in a namespace:
```
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
netns myns
```
On invocation of `ifup`:
* if the namespace doesn't exist it will be created
* if the folders `if-down.d`, `if-post-down.d`, `if-pre-up.d` and `if-up.d`
under `/etc/netns/<namespace>/network` don't exist, they will be created
* if the `/etc/netns/<namespace>/network/interfaces` file doesn't exist a
blank one will be created
* if it does and the interface is configured, the script will invoke `ifup`
for this interface inside the namespace.
## `zsh` function to start a shell in a namespace
```
nss () {
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo "Please specify a network namespace"
return
fi
unshare -m /bin/sh <<-EOF
mount --make-rprivate /
mount --bind /run/network.${1} /run/network
ip netns exec ${1} zsh -i
EOF
}
```
