Opensource 5G Core

Fork opensource-5g-core-service-mesh from bitbucket - https://bitbucket.org/infinitydon/opensource-5g-core-service-mesh/src/main/

This repo contains the code templates that was used in the Opensource 5G core.

Monitoring

Prometheus, Grafana and a Log Viewer are included in the Helm chart. Grafana can be enabled or disabled using monitoring.grafana.enabled while the log viewer is controlled by monitoring.kubernetesui.enabled in values.yaml. Their corresponding NodePort values can be adjusted via monitoring.grafana.nodeport and monitoring.kubernetesui.nodeport.

The optional log forwarder streams container logs to a remote HTTP endpoint. See docs/logforwarder.md for an overview of its architecture and usage.

Deploy 5G Core using python-based web server:

cd webapp
python3 server.py
