Re-introducing Weave Net

Weave Net was the first product created by Weaveworks. It was and still is a popular choice for container networking, especially as a CNI add-on for Kubernetes.

Weave Net is now a community-supported project, run out of the forked GitHub repository rajch/weave.

Using Weave with Kubernetes

If you are here for the most popular use of Weave Net - the famous one-line installation on Kubernetes, look no further.

You can install Weave Net on a Kubernetes cluster using:

kubectl apply -f https://reweave.azurewebsites.net/k8s/v1.29/net.yaml

where the v1.29 part can be replaced with any Kubernetes version, the minimum being v1.8.

If you prefer the older method using kubectl version, that works too:

KUBEVER=$(kubectl version | base64 | tr -d '\n')
kubectl apply -f https://reweave.azurewebsites.net/k8s/net?k8s-version=$KUBEVER

Finally, you can directly apply the manifest from our releases page:

kubectl apply -f https://github.com/rajch/weave/releases/latest/download/weave-daemonset-k8s-1.11.yaml

More details, and options can be found on the Integrating Kubernetes via the Addon page.

Using Weave as a (legacy) Docker Plugin

See Installing Weave Net, and then Launching Weave Net.

See Integrating Docker via the Network Plugin (V2).

Note: From version 2.8.6 onwards, the Docker V2 plugin is available for amd64, arm, arm64 ~~, ppc64le and s390x~~ architectures. Prior to this, it was only available for amd64.
