Hyperledger Fabric deployment script

What does it do?

• Deploys on remote linux servers a network that consists of:
  • An Ordering service (solo)
  • Peers, as many as needed, in the same organization
• "detects" if Fabric is already installed, and if not - installs it
• Sets up everything to run with TLS
• Creates a single channel, installs and instantiates example02 as a sanity test

Introduction:

This tool was created to help quickly set up an environment of Hyperledger Fabric

Disclaimer/Warning :

The script would wipe everything in /var/hyerledger/production and delete some of the docker images, direct this script only to empty VMs / servers created solely for Fabric deployment.

Prerequisites:

• Local git repo of Hyperledger Fabric in $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric
• Empty physical servers/virtual machines to be used as a solo ordering service and peers
• Tested with Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, other distributions might also work
• git client installed on the servers
• Ability to do "sudo" without having to enter a password on the servers
• Ability to ssh without having to enter a password from the machine that runs this script
• Ability of peers to resolve each other's DNS names and the orderer's DNS name

How to use

• Edit config.sh with the hostnames of the servers that are to be used as an orderer and peers
• Run the deploy.sh script
