This Ansible role is now deprecated and no longer maintained.
The IBM Blockchain Platform 2.5 release includes a new Ansible collection that can be used to build, operate & govern and grow blockchain networks.
The Ansible collection can be found here:
- Ansible collection documentation (https://ibm-blockchain.github.io/ansible-collection/)
- IBM Blockchain Platform documentation (https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/blockchain?topic=blockchain-ansible)
- Ansible Galaxy (https://galaxy.ansible.com/ibm/blockchain_platform)
- GitHub (https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/ansible-collection/)
Support for the Ansible collection is included as part of the IBM Blockchain Platform.
It is strongly recommended that you use the Ansible collection instead of this Ansible role.
The IBM Blockchain Platform provides advanced tooling that allows you to quickly build, operate & govern and grow blockchain networks. It uses Hyperledger Fabric, the open source, industry standard for enterprise blockchain. It also helps you to deploy Hyperledger Fabric networks anywhere, either to cloud or on-premises, using Kubernetes.
This Ansible role, provided as part of the IBM Blockchain Platform, enables you to automate the building of Hyperledger Fabric networks.
You can install this role from Ansible Galaxy:
ansible-galaxy install ibm.blockchain_platform_manager
You can find example playbooks on GitHub in the ansible-examples repository. A good starting point for building your own Hyperledger Fabric networks is the two-org-network example.
This Ansible role requires the following pre-requisites:
- Python 3.7+
- Ansible 2.8+
pip install ansible
- Hyperledger Fabric v1.4 binaries (
configtxgen,peer,fabric-ca-client, etc) - One of the following supported deployment targets:
- IBM Blockchain Platform on IBM Cloud
- IBM Blockchain Platform on Red Hat OpenShift
- Docker 19.03+
- Docker SDK for Python (if using Docker)
pip install docker
jqspongeapt-get install moreutils(Ubuntu)brew install moreutils(macOS)
Coming soon!
This Ansible role has no dependencies on any other Ansible roles.
