Virtual setup that represents multiple computers on same network

[wigging]

I have some Pyro5 code that communicates between two computers on my home network. The code works fine but I would like to test it with 5 to 10 computers on the same network. Since I don't have more than two physical computers, is there a way to test this virtually using virtual machines, Docker containers, or something else? Does Pyro5 work with any of these solutions?

Pyro5 just uses the basic TCP/IP network services. In the documentation are some tips on what you might need to set in the configuration to make your servers externally reachable, but Pyro itself is not tied to one solution or another. As long as the network setup properly ensures connectivity and port forwarding you should be able to configure Pyro clients and servers to talk to each other

Yes it is. Also, the command line tools take certain options that are related to port and host configuration as well. These are described in the relevant chapters for example the name server https://pyro5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/nameserver.html#nameserver-nameserver
