Markers are persistent link-scoped features (like packet filters), not
transient runtime features (like capture). Tearing them down on every
node stop breaks stop/start restore: the NIO-based re-application in
_ubridge_apply_markers works correctly on restart, but node_updated
was prematurely calling stop_marker which erased _markers state and
dumped an empty topology.
Now markers survive node stop transparently — the ubridge filter dies
with the process but is re-added from nio.markers in
add_ubridge_udp_connection when the node starts again, mirroring
exactly how packet filters behave.
Mirror the packet-filter lifecycle: marker specs now live on the NIO
(next to filters), ride in link_data from controller to compute on
every NIO create/update, and are reapplied by _ubridge_apply_markers
in add_ubridge_udp_connection (bridge creation / node restart) and
update_ubridge_udp_connection (NIO update — following the preceding
reset_packet_filters so markers survive filter changes).
Changes:
- NIO / NIOUDP: _markers property + asdict
- schemas/compute/nios.py: UDPNIO.markers field
- base_manager.create_nio: nio.markers from settings
- PUT /nio routes (vpcs/qemu/docker): nio.markers update
- base_node: _ubridge_apply_markers(bridge_name, nio) iterates
nio.markers, computes pcap path, calls _ubridge_add_marker_filter
+ MarkerManager.register; called after _ubridge_apply_filters
- controller udp_link: _get_node_markers + _markers_for_node (route
by capture_node_id); markers in create() and update() link_data
- /markers/start,stop endpoints: mirror spec onto nio.markers so
the marker survives a subsequent node stop/start without a PUT
- tests: add markers field to NIO data expectations
This covers:
- Node restart: NIO persists, add_ubridge_udp_connection re-applies
- Filter update: reset wipes markers, _ubridge_apply_markers re-adds
- Project reload: create() carries markers in link_data → create_nio
- Immediate create: endpoint sets nio.markers immediately
Change the marker UDP sink default from port=0 (OS-chosen) to 3070 for
predictable firewall/debugging/monitoring.
Add marker_listen_host and marker_listen_port with documentation to
config_samples/gns3_server.conf and scripts/gns3_server.conf.
_choose_capture_side prefers BUILTIN_NODE_TYPES which includes
ethernet_switch/ethernet_hub/NAT etc. — nodes that do not use uBridge
and therefore have no bridge for a marker filter to attach to.
Add _choose_marker_side with a _MARKER_UNSUPPORTED_TYPES blocklist
so marker capture-side selection skips NIO-only switches and picks
the uBridge-backed node (VPCS/QEMU/Docker/etc.) instead.
Verified end-to-end: PC1↔Switch↔PC2 links with arp markers correctly
pick VPCS nodes; MARK signals flow through to WebSocket and pcaps
are written.
When a Docker container with the same name already exists (e.g., from a
previous crashed GNS3 session), Docker returns a 409 Conflict error
when trying to create a new container with that name. This causes the
project open operation to fail.
This fix adds automatic cleanup of stale containers when encountering
a name conflict:
- Added DockerHttp409Error exception class
- Updated http_query to detect 409 status codes
- Modified create() to remove conflicting containers and retry
Fixes the issue where opening a project fails with:
"Docker has returned an error: 409 Conflict. The container name
'/GNS3.xxx' is already in use by container 'xxx'"
Previously the disconnected compute check ran after open(), which would
block for 120s trying to connect to unreachable remote computes before
rejecting the deletion. Now reads the topology file directly to extract
compute IDs and checks connectivity before calling open(), enabling
immediate rejection of deletions involving offline computes.
Also removes the redundant post-open() check since the early check
covers both opened and closed project states.

- Change `status: str` to `status: InterfaceStatus` (str Enum) in the
HostInterface schema, matching the existing IPAddressFamily pattern.
- Use default-then-override pattern in interfaces() to eliminate the
`else` branch and deduplicate defaults.
Each host interface surfaced by the cloud node now reports:
- ip_addresses: every IPv4 and IPv6 address (previously only a single
IPv4 was collected internally and then dropped before the response)
- status / speed / mtu / flags: operational state and link attributes
sourced from psutil.net_if_stats(), with flags normalized to a list
The legacy ip_address / netmask / mac_address fields are preserved so
existing callers (compute link detection, GNS3 VM, VMware, has_netmask)
keep working. The new fields travel through the existing interfaces
payload that the controller forwards verbatim, so no controller-side
change is required and the PUT / ports_mapping flow is unaffected.
The sample gns3_server.conf documented jwt_access_token_expire_minutes but omitted jwt_refresh_token_expire_minutes (default 43200 minutes, 30 days) defined in ControllerSettings. Add it for parity with the schema.
