Https server to simulate a RAN node for file download over https

General

This server can be used to simulate a RAN node for file download over https. Files can be requested in three ways:

• static file (always the same file returned)
• semi-static files (the requested file must exist in the container)
• generated files (file contents is generated using a template where the start/stop time as well the node name is based on requested file. Counter values are also generated)

Build image

Build for docker or local kubernetes
./build.sh no-push

Build for remote kubernetes - an externally accessible image repo (e.g. docker hub) is needed
./build.sh <external-image-repo>

Configuration

The following env vars (all optional) may be set to control the behaviour of the server

• ALWAYS_RETURN - Name of a file under "/files" in the container that is always returned regardless of requested file on the url /files/<file-id>. The can be used when the file contents is not important.

• GENERATED_FILE_START_TIME - The first start date- and time stamp of file requested from the url /generatedfiles/<file-id>. Requesting a file with an earlier date and time will return http status 404. Example: "20230220.1300"

• GENERATED_FILE_TIMEZONE - Time zone to be used for requested files from the url /generatedfiles/<file-id>. Example: "+0100"

If generated files shall be used, load the file pm-template.xml.gz to the /template-files dir in the container.

Configure the following for desired behaviour

• static file: ALWAYS_RETURN
• semi-static files: none
• generated files: GENERATED_FILE_START_TIME and GENERATED_FILE_TIMEZONE
