FogBesu

Plugin to enable the creation of a Hyperledger Besu blockchain using Fogbed.

This package allows the creation of a private blockchain using IBFT 2.0 or QBFT consensus protocols.

Install

1. Install Containernet

sudo apt-get install ansible

git clone https://github.com/containernet/containernet.git

sudo ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local containernet/ansible/install.yml

2. Install FogBesu

sudo pip install -U git+https://github.com/EsauM10/fogbesu.git

Get Started

Copy the Dockerfile in this repository to build a compatible Fogbed Docker image and build it with:

sudo docker build -t besu .

Save the example below to a file and run with sudo python3 example.py.

from fogbed import FogbedExperiment
from fogbesu import BesuBlockchain


if(__name__=='__main__'):
    exp   = FogbedExperiment()
    besu1 = exp.add_virtual_instance('besu1')

    network = {
        besu1: ['node1', 'node2', 'node3', 'node4', 'node5'],
    }

    blockchain = BesuBlockchain(
        experiment=exp, 
        bootnode='node1', 
        config_file='configFile.json',
        network=network
    )
    blockchain.run()

Distributed Blockchain

from fogbed import FogbedDistributedExperiment
from fogbesu import BesuBlockchain


if(__name__=='__main__'):
    exp   = FogbedDistributedExperiment()
    besu1 = exp.add_virtual_instance('besu1')
    besu2 = exp.add_virtual_instance('besu2')

    worker1 = exp.add_worker(ip='192.168.0.150')
    worker2 = exp.add_worker(ip='192.168.0.151')

    worker1.add(besu1, reachable=True)
    worker2.add(besu2, reachable=True)
    exp.add_tunnel(worker1, worker2)

    network = {
        besu1: ['node1', 'node2'],
        besu2: ['node3', 'node4']
    }

    blockchain = BesuBlockchain(
        experiment=exp, 
        bootnode='node1', 
        config_file='configFile.json',
        network=network
    )
    blockchain.run()

Run a worker in each machine with sudo RunWorker and execute the script.
