The Redfish Mockup Server serves Redfish requests against a Redfish mockup. The server runs at either a specified IP address and port or the default IP address and port, 127.0.0.1:8000.

You can find DMTF-published sample mockups at All Published Versions of DSP2043.

To create a mockup from a service, use the Redfish-Mockup-Creator.

The scope of this tool is to serve a static mockup for development purposes. It does support modification requests, such as PATCH and POST, and actions to a limited extent. For a more feature-rich Redfish experience, one of the following tools can be used instead of the Redfish Mockup Server:

• Redfish-Interface-Emulator: A more functional service that implements modification requests and actions.
• Swordfish-API-Emulator: A SNIA extension to the previous tool with more built-in functionality supported.

To run the mockup server natively on your system:

• Install Python 3 and pip.
• Install required Python packages: pip install -r requirements.txt

To run the mockup server as a Docker container:

• Install Docker.

Redfish Mockup Server, version 1.1.4
usage: redfishMockupServer.py [-h] [-H HOST] [-p PORT] [-D DIR] [-E] [-X]
                              [-t TIME] [-T] [-s] [--cert CERT] [--key KEY]
                              [-S] [-P]

Serve a static Redfish mockup.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -H HOST, --host HOST, --Host HOST
                        hostname or IP address (default 127.0.0.1)
  -p PORT, --port PORT, --Port PORT
                        host port (default 8000)
  -D DIR, --dir DIR, --Dir DIR
                        path to mockup dir (may be relative to CWD)
  -E, --test-etag, --TestEtag
                        (unimplemented) etag testing
  -X, --headers         load headers from headers.json files in mockup
  -t TIME, --time TIME  delay in seconds added to responses (float or int)
  -T                    delay response based on times in time.json files in
                        mockup
  -s, --ssl             place server in SSL (HTTPS) mode; requires a cert and
                        key
  --cert CERT           the certificate for SSL
  --key KEY             the key for SSL
  -S, --short-form, --shortForm
                        apply short form to mockup (omit filepath /redfish/v1)
  -P, --ssdp            make mockup SSDP discoverable

The mockup server starts an HTTP server at the -H HOST host and -p PORT port. The mockup server provides Redfish resources in the -D DIR mockup directory.

If the mockup does not contain the representation of the /redfish resource, you must provide the --short-form argument. If you omit the mockup, the mockup server serves DMTF's public-rackmount1 mockup.

python redfishMockupServer.py -D /home/user/redfish-mockup

To run as a Docker container, use one of these actions to pull or build the container:

• Pull the container from Docker Hub:

  docker pull dmtf/redfish-mockup-server:latest

• Build a container from local source:

  docker build -t dmtf/redfish-mockup-server:latest .

• Build a container from GitHub:

  docker build -t dmtf/redfish-mockup-server:latest https://github.com/DMTF/Redfish-Mockup-Server.git#main

This command runs the container with the built-in public-rackmount1 mockup:

docker run --rm dmtf/redfish-mockup-server:latest

This command runs the container with a specified mockup, where <path-to-mockup> is the path to the mockup directory:

docker run --rm -v <path-to-mockup>:/mockup dmtf/redfish-mockup-server:latest -D /mockup

Or using compose:

docker compose up
