End-to-End Flow =============== The end-to-end verification provisions a sample Fabric network consisting of two organizations, each maintaining two peers, and a Kafka-based ordering service. This verification makes use of two fundamental tools, which are necessary to create a functioning transactional network with digital signature validation and access control: * cryptogen - generates the x509 certificates used to identify and authenticate the various components in the network. * configtxgen - generates the requisite configuration artifacts for orderer bootstrap and channel creation. Each tool consumes a configuration yaml file, within which we specify the topology of our network (cryptogen) and the location of our certificates for various configuration operations (configtxgen). Once the tools have been successfully run, we are able to launch our network. More detail on the tools and the structure of the network will be provided later in this document. For now, let's get going... Prerequisites ------------- - `Git client `__ - `Docker `__ - v1.12 or higher - `Docker Compose `__ - v1.8 or higher - `Homebrew `__ - OSX only - `Xcode `__ - OSX only (this can take upwards of an hour) - `Docker Toolbox `__ - Windows users only - `Go `__ - 1.7 or higher On Windows machines you will also need the following which provides a better alternative to the Windows command prompt: - `Git Bash `__ .. note:: On older versions of Windows, such as Windows 7, you typically get this as part of installing Docker Toolbox. However experience has shown this to be a poor development environment with limited functionality. It is suitable to run docker based scenarios, such as :doc:`getting_started`, but you may not be able to find a suitable ``make`` command to successfuly go through the scenario described here. Setting the $GOPATH ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Make sure you have properly setup your Host's `GOPATH environment variable `__. This is necessary for the code to compile properly. Now create the following directory structure and ``cd`` into it: .. code:: bash mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger - Clone the Fabric code base into this path. .. code:: bash git clone http://gerrit.hyperledger.org/r/fabric or though a mirrored repository in github: .. code:: bash git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric.git - If you are running OSX, perform the following: .. code:: bash brew install gnu-tar --with-default-names brew install libtool Build the binaries ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - Now make the platform-specific binaries for ``cryptogen`` and ``configtxgen``. .. code:: bash cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric # ensure sure you are in the /fabric directory where the Makefile resides make release This will output platform-specific binaries into the ``fabric/release`` folder. - Next, make the Fabric images. This typically takes between five to ten minutes, so be patient: .. code:: bash # make sure you are in the /fabric directory make docker Execute a ``docker images`` command in your terminal. If the images compiled successfully, you should see an output similar to the following: .. code:: bash REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE hyperledger/fabric-couchdb latest e2df4dd39ca9 38 minutes ago 1.51 GB hyperledger/fabric-couchdb x86_64-1.0.0-beta e2df4dd39ca9 38 minutes ago 1.51 GB hyperledger/fabric-kafka latest 08af4d797266 40 minutes ago 1.3 GB hyperledger/fabric-kafka x86_64-1.0.0-beta 08af4d797266 40 minutes ago 1.3 GB hyperledger/fabric-zookeeper latest 444e9e695367 40 minutes ago 1.31 GB hyperledger/fabric-zookeeper x86_64-1.0.0-beta 444e9e695367 40 minutes ago 1.31 GB hyperledger/fabric-testenv latest 8678d3101930 41 minutes ago 1.41 GB hyperledger/fabric-testenv x86_64-1.0.0-beta 8678d3101930 41 minutes ago 1.41 GB hyperledger/fabric-buildenv latest 60911392c82e 41 minutes ago 1.33 GB hyperledger/fabric-buildenv x86_64-1.0.0-beta 60911392c82e 41 minutes ago 1.33 GB hyperledger/fabric-orderer latest 2afab937b9cc 41 minutes ago 182 MB hyperledger/fabric-orderer x86_64-1.0.0-beta 2afab937b9cc 41 minutes ago 182 MB hyperledger/fabric-peer latest 9560e58e8089 41 minutes ago 185 MB hyperledger/fabric-peer x86_64-1.0.0-beta 9560e58e8089 41 minutes ago 185 MB hyperledger/fabric-javaenv latest 881ca5219fad 42 minutes ago 1.43 GB hyperledger/fabric-javaenv x86_64-1.0.0-beta 881ca5219fad 42 minutes ago 1.43 GB hyperledger/fabric-ccenv latest 28af77ffe9e9 43 minutes ago 1.29 GB hyperledger/fabric-ccenv x86_64-1.0.0-beta 28af77ffe9e9 43 minutes ago 1.29 GB hyperledger/fabric-baseimage x86_64-0.3.0 f4751a503f02 3 months ago 1.27 GB hyperledger/fabric-baseos x86_64-0.3.0 c3a4cf3b3350 3 months ago 161 MB If you failed to compile the ``fabric-testenv`` image, then you can perform a ``make clean`` followed by another ``make docker``. Cryptogen Tool -------------- We will use the cryptogen tool to generate the cryptographic material (x509 certs) for our various network entities. The certificates are based on a standard PKI implementation where validation is achieved by reaching a common trust anchor. How does it work? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cryptogen consumes a file - ``crypto-config.yaml`` - that contains the network topology and allows us to generate a library of certificates for both the Organizations and the components that belong to those Organizations. Each Organization is provisioned a unique root certificate (``ca-cert``), that binds specific components (peers and orderers) to that Org. Transactions and communications within Fabric are signed by an entity's private key (``keystore``), and then verified by means of a public key (``signcerts``). You will notice a "count" variable within this file. We use this to specify the number of peers per Organization; in our case it's two peers per Org. The rest of this template is extremely self-explanatory. After we run the tool, the certs will be parked in a folder titled ``crypto-config``. Configuration Transaction Generator ----------------------------------- The `configtxgen tool `__ is used to create four artifacts: orderer **bootstrap block**, fabric **channel configuration transaction**, and two **anchor peer transactions** - one for each Peer Org. The orderer block is the genesis block for the ordering service, and the channel transaction file is broadcast to the orderer at channel creation time. The anchor peer transactions, as the name might suggest, specify each Org's anchor peer on this channel. How does it work? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Configtxgen consumes a file - ``configtx.yaml`` - that contains the definitions for the sample network. There are three members - one Orderer Org (``OrdererOrg``) and two Peer Orgs (``Org1`` & ``Org2``) each managing and maintaining two peer nodes. This file also specifies a consortium - ``SampleConsortium`` - consisting of our two Peer Orgs. Pay specific attention to the "Profiles" section at the top of this file. You will notice that we have two unique headers. One for the orderer genesis block - ``TwoOrgsOrdererGenesis`` - and one for our channel - ``TwoOrgsChannel``. These headers are important, as we will pass them in as arguments when we create our artifacts. This file also contains two additional specifications that are worth noting. Firstly, we specify the anchor peers for each Peer Org (``peer0.org1.example.com`` & ``peer0.org2.example.com``). Secondly, we point to the location of the MSP directory for each member, in turn allowing us to store the root certificates for each Org in the orderer genesis block. This is a critical concept. Now any network entity communicating with the ordering service can have its digital signature verified. For ease of use, a script - ``generateArtifacts.sh`` - is provided. The script will generate the crypto material and our four configuration artifacts, and subsequently output these files into the ``channel-artifacts`` folder. Run the shell script ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Make sure you are in the ``examples/solo`` directory where the script resides. Decide upon a unique name for your channel and replace the parm with a name of your choice. The script will fail if you do not supply a name. .. code:: bash cd examples/solo ./generateArtifacts.sh The output of the script is somewhat verbose, as it generates the crypto libraries and multiple artifacts. However, you will notice five distinct and self-explanatory messages in your terminal. They are as follows: .. code:: bash ########################################################## ##### Generate certificates using cryptogen tool ######### ########################################################## ########################################################## ######### Generating Orderer Genesis block ############## ########################################################## ################################################################# ### Generating channel configuration transaction 'channel.tx' ### ################################################################# ################################################################# ####### Generating anchor peer update for Org0MSP ########## ################################################################# ################################################################# ####### Generating anchor peer update for Org1MSP ########## ################################################################# These configuration transactions will bundle the crypto material for the participating members and their network components and output an orderer genesis block and three channel transaction artifacts. These artifacts are required to successfully bootstrap a Fabric network and create a channel to transact upon. Manually generate the artifacts (optional) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You can refer to the ``generateArtifacts.sh`` script for the commands, however for the sake of convenience we will also provide them here. First, let's set the environment variable for our platform architecture. This command will detect your OS and use the appropriate binaries for the subsequent steps: .. code:: bash # for power or z os_arch=$(echo "$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" | awk '{print tolower($0)}') # for linux, osx or windows os_arch=$(echo "$(uname -s)-amd64" | awk '{print tolower($0)}') Check to make sure it is set properly: .. code:: bash echo $os_arch Now let's run the tool. Our platform specific binary is in the ``release`` directory, so we need to provide the relative path to where the tool resides. Make sure you are in ``examples/solo``: .. code:: bash ./../../release/$os_arch/bin/cryptogen generate --config=./crypto-config.yaml You will likely see the following warning. It's innocuous, ignore it: .. code:: bash [bccsp] GetDefault -> WARN 001 Before using BCCSP, please call InitFactories(). Falling back to bootBCCSP. Next, we need to tell the ``configtxgen`` tool where to look for the ``configtx.yaml`` file that it needs to ingest. We will tell it look in our present working directory: .. code:: bash FABRIC_CFG_PATH=$PWD Create the orderer genesis block: .. code:: bash ./../../release/$os_arch/bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsOrdererGenesis -outputBlock ./channel-artifacts/genesis.block You can ignore the logs regarding intermediate certs, we are not using them in this crypto implementation. Create the channel transaction artifact: .. code:: bash # make sure to set the parm ./../../release/$os_arch/bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputCreateChannelTx ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx -channelID Define the anchor peer for Org1 on the channel: .. code:: bash # make sure to set the parm ./../../release/$os_arch/bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputAnchorPeersUpdate ./channel-artifacts/Org1MSPanchors.tx -channelID -asOrg Org1MSP Define the anchor peer for Org2 on the channel: .. code:: bash # make sure to set the parm ./../../release/$os_arch/bin/configtxgen -profile TwoOrgsChannel -outputAnchorPeersUpdate ./channel-artifacts/Org2MSPanchors.tx -channelID -asOrg Org2MSP Run the end-to-end test with Docker ----------------------------------- Make sure you are in the ``/solo`` directory. Then use docker-compose to spawn the network entities and drive the tests. Notice that you can set a ``TIMEOUT`` variable (specified in seconds) so that your cli container does not exit after the script completes. You can choose any value: .. code:: bash # the TIMEOUT variable is optional CHANNEL_NAME= TIMEOUT= docker-compose -f docker-compose-cli.yaml up -d If you created a unique channel name, be sure to pass in that parameter. For example, .. code:: bash CHANNEL_NAME=abc TIMEOUT=1000 docker-compose -f docker-compose-cli.yaml up -d Wait, 60 seconds or so. Behind the scenes, there are transactions being sent to the peers. Execute a ``docker ps`` to view your active containers. You should see an output identical to the following: .. code:: bash CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES b568de3fe931 dev-peer1.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0 "chaincode -peer.a..." 4 minutes ago Up 4 minutes dev-peer1.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0 17c1c82087e7 dev-peer0.org1.example.com-mycc-1.0 "chaincode -peer.a..." 4 minutes ago Up 4 minutes dev-peer0.org1.example.com-mycc-1.0 0e1c5034c47b dev-peer0.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0 "chaincode -peer.a..." 4 minutes ago Up 4 minutes dev-peer0.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0 71339e7e1d38 hyperledger/fabric-peer "peer node start -..." 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes 0.0.0.0:8051->7051/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8053->7053/tcp peer1.org1.example.com add6113ffdcf hyperledger/fabric-peer "peer node start -..." 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes 0.0.0.0:10051->7051/tcp, 0.0.0.0:10053->7053/tcp peer1.org2.example.com 689396c0e520 hyperledger/fabric-peer "peer node start -..." 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes 0.0.0.0:7051->7051/tcp, 0.0.0.0:7053->7053/tcp peer0.org1.example.com 65424407a653 hyperledger/fabric-orderer "orderer" 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes 0.0.0.0:7050->7050/tcp orderer.example.com ce14853db660 hyperledger/fabric-peer "peer node start -..." 5 minutes ago Up 5 minutes 0.0.0.0:9051->7051/tcp, 0.0.0.0:9053->7053/tcp peer0.org2.example.com If you set a moderately high ``TIMEOUT`` value, then you will see your cli container as well. What's happening behind the scenes? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - A script - ``script.sh`` - is baked inside the CLI container. The script drives the ``createChannel`` command against the supplied channel name and uses the channel.tx file for channel configuration. - The output of ``createChannel`` is a genesis block - ``.block`` - which gets stored on the peers' file systems and contains the channel configuration specified from channel.tx. - The ``joinChannel`` command is exercised for all four peers, which takes as input the previously generated genesis block. This command instructs the peers to join ```` and create a chain starting with ``.block``. - Now we have a channel consisting of four peers, and two organizations. This is our ``TwoOrgsChannel`` profile. - ``peer0.org1.example.com`` and ``peer1.org1.example.com`` belong to Org1; ``peer0.org2.example.com`` and ``peer1.org2.example.com`` belong to Org2 - These relationships are defined through the ``crypto-config.yaml`` and the MSP path is specified in our docker compose. - The anchor peers for Org1MSP (``peer0.org1.example.com``) and Org2MSP (``peer0.org2.example.com``) are then updated. We do this by passing the ``Org1MSPanchors.tx`` and ``Org2MSPanchors.tx`` artifacts to the ordering service along with the name of our channel. - A chaincode - **chaincode_example02** - is installed on ``peer0.org1.example.com`` and ``peer0.org2.example.com`` - The chaincode is then "instantiated" on ``peer0.org2.example.com``. Instantiation adds the chaincode to the channel, starts the container for the target peer, and initializes the key value pairs associated with the chaincode. The initial values for this example are ["a","100" "b","200"]. This "instantiation" results in a container by the name of ``dev-peer0.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0`` starting. - The instantiation also passes in an argument for the endorsement policy. The policy is defined as ``-P "OR ('Org1MSP.member','Org2MSP.member')"``, meaning that any transaction must be endorsed by a peer tied to Org1 or Org2. - A query against the value of "a" is issued to ``peer0.org1.example.com``. The chaincode was previously installed on ``peer0.org1.example.com``, so this will start a container for Org1 peer0 by the name of ``dev-peer0.org1.example.com-mycc-1.0``. The result of the query is also returned. No write operations have occurred, so a query against "a" will still return a value of "100". - An invoke is sent to ``peer0.org1.example.com`` to move "10" from "a" to "b" - The chaincode is then installed on ``peer1.org2.example.com`` - A query is sent to ``peer1.org2.example.com`` for the value of "a". This starts a third chaincode container by the name of ``dev-peer1.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0``. A value of 90 is returned, correctly reflecting the previous transaction during which the value for key "a" was modified by 10. What does this demonstrate? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Chaincode **MUST** be installed on a peer in order for it to successfully perform read/write operations against the ledger. Furthermore, a chaincode container is not started for a peer until an ``init`` or traditional transaction - read/write - is performed against that chaincode (e.g. query for the value of "a"). The transaction causes the container to start. Also, all peers in a channel maintain an exact copy of the ledger which comprises the blockchain to store the immutable, sequenced record in blocks, as well as a state database to maintain current fabric state. This includes those peers that do not have chaincode installed on them (like ``peer1.org1.example.com`` in the above example) . Finally, the chaincode is accessible after it is installed (like ``peer1.org2.example.com`` in the above example) because it has already been instantiated. How do I see these transactions? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Check the logs for the CLI docker container. .. code:: bash docker logs -f cli You should see the following output: .. code:: bash 2017-05-16 17:08:01.366 UTC [msp] GetLocalMSP -> DEBU 004 Returning existing local MSP 2017-05-16 17:08:01.366 UTC [msp] GetDefaultSigningIdentity -> DEBU 005 Obtaining default signing identity 2017-05-16 17:08:01.366 UTC [msp/identity] Sign -> DEBU 006 Sign: plaintext: 0AB1070A6708031A0C08F1E3ECC80510...6D7963631A0A0A0571756572790A0161 2017-05-16 17:08:01.367 UTC [msp/identity] Sign -> DEBU 007 Sign: digest: E61DB37F4E8B0D32C9FE10E3936BA9B8CD278FAA1F3320B08712164248285C54 Query Result: 90 2017-05-16 17:08:15.158 UTC [main] main -> INFO 008 Exiting..... ===================== Query on PEER3 on channel 'mychannel' is successful ===================== ===================== All GOOD, End-2-End execution completed ===================== _____ _ _ ____ _____ ____ _____ | ____| | \ | | | _ \ | ____| |___ \ | ____| | _| | \| | | | | | _____ | _| __) | | _| | |___ | |\ | | |_| | |_____| | |___ / __/ | |___ |_____| |_| \_| |____/ |_____| |_____| |_____| How can I see the chaincode logs? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Inspect the individual chaincode containers to see the separate transactions executed against each container. Here is the combined output from each container: .. code:: bash $ docker logs dev-peer0.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0 04:30:45.947 [BCCSP_FACTORY] DEBU : Initialize BCCSP [SW] ex02 Init Aval = 100, Bval = 200 $ docker logs dev-peer0.org1.example.com-mycc-1.0 04:31:10.569 [BCCSP_FACTORY] DEBU : Initialize BCCSP [SW] ex02 Invoke Query Response:{"Name":"a","Amount":"100"} ex02 Invoke Aval = 90, Bval = 210 $ docker logs dev-peer1.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0 04:31:30.420 [BCCSP_FACTORY] DEBU : Initialize BCCSP [SW] ex02 Invoke Query Response:{"Name":"a","Amount":"90"} All in one ^^^^^^^^^^ You can also generate the artifacts and crypto, and drive the tests using a single shell script. The ``cryptogen``, ``configtxgen`` and ``docker-compose`` commands are embedded in the script. If you choose not to supply a channel ID, then the script will use a default name of ``mychannel``. The cli timeout parameter is an optional value; if you choose not to set it, then your cli container will exit upon conclusion of the script. .. code:: bash ./network_setup.sh up OR .. code:: bash ./network_setup.sh up Understanding the docker-compose topology ----------------------------------------- The ``solo`` folder offers us two flavors of docker-compose files, both of which are extended from the ``docker-compose-base.yaml``. Our first flavor, ``docker-compose-cli.yaml``, provides us with a CLI container, along with an orderer, four peers, and the optional couchDB containers. We use this docker-compose for the entirety of the instructions on this page. The second flavor, ``docker-compose-e2e.yaml``, is constructed to run end-to-end tests using the Node.js SDK. Aside from functioning with the SDK, its primary differentiation is that there are containers for the fabric-ca servers. As a result, we are able to send REST calls to the organizational CAs for user registration and enrollment. If you want to use the ``docker-compose-e2e.yaml`` without first running the **All in one** script, then we will need to make four slight modifications. We need to point to the private keys for our Organization's CA's. You can locate these values in your crypto-config folder. For example, to locate the private key for Org1 we would follow this path - ``crypto-config/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/ca/``. The private key is a long hash value followed by ``_sk``. The path for Org2 would be - ``crypto-config/peerOrganizations/org2.example.com/ca/``. In the ``docker-compose-e2e.yaml`` update the FABRIC_CA_SERVER_TLS_KEYFILE variable for ca0 and ca1. You also need to edit the path that is provided in the command to start the ca server. You are providing the same private key twice for each CA container. Manually exercise the commands ------------------------------ Exit the currently-running containers: .. code:: bash docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq) Execute a ``docker images`` command in your terminal to view the chaincode images. They will look similar to the following: .. code:: bash REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE dev-peer1.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0 latest 4bc5e9b5dd97 5 seconds ago 176 MB dev-peer0.org1.example.com-mycc-1.0 latest 6f2aeb032076 22 seconds ago 176 MB dev-peer0.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0 latest 509b8e393cc6 39 seconds ago 176 MB Remove these images: .. code:: bash docker rmi For example: .. code:: bash docker rmi -f 4bc 6f2 509 Ensure you have the configuration artifacts. If you deleted them, run the shell script again: .. code:: bash # remember to supply a channel ID ./generateArtifacts.sh Modify the docker-compose file ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Open the ``docker-compose-cli.yaml`` file and comment out the command to run ``script.sh``. Navigate down to the cli container and place a ``#`` to the left of the command. For example: .. code:: bash working_dir: /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer # command: /bin/bash -c './scripts/script.sh ${CHANNEL_NAME}; sleep $TIMEOUT' Save the file and return to the ``/solo`` directory. Now restart your network: .. code:: bash # make sure you are in the /solo directory where your docker-compose script resides CHANNEL_NAME= TIMEOUT= docker-compose -f docker-compose-cli.yaml up -d If you want to see the realtime logs for your network, then do not supply the ``-d`` flag. If you let the logs stream, then you will need to open a second terminal to execute the CLI calls. Command syntax ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Refer to the create and join commands in the ``script.sh`` for the exact syntax. For the following CLI commands against `peer0.org1.example.com` to work, we need to preface our commands with the four environment variables given below. These variables for ``peer0.org1.example.com`` are baked into the CLI container, therefore we can operate without passing them. **HOWEVER**, if you want to send calls to other peers or the orderer, then you will need to provide these values accordingly. Inspect the ``docker-compose-base.yaml`` for the specific paths: .. code:: bash # Environment variables for PEER0 CORE_PEER_MSPCONFIGPATH=/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/users/Admin@org1.example.com/msp CORE_PEER_ADDRESS=peer0.org1.example.com:7051 CORE_PEER_LOCALMSPID="Org1MSP" CORE_PEER_TLS_ROOTCERT_FILE=/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/peerOrganizations/org1.example.com/peers/peer0.org1.example.com/tls/ca.crt Create channel ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Exec into the cli container: .. code:: bash docker exec -it cli bash If successful you should see the following: .. code:: bash root@0d78bb69300d:/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer# Specify your channel name with the ``-c`` flag. Specify your channel configuration transaction with the ``-f`` flag. In this case it is ``channel.tx``, however you can mount your own configuration transaction with a different name. .. code:: bash # the channel.tx file is mounted in the channel-artifacts directory within your cli container # as a result, we pass the full path for the file # we also pass the path for the orderer ca-cert in order to verify the TLS handshake # be sure to replace the $CHANNEL_NAME variable appropriately peer channel create -o orderer.example.com:7050 -c $CHANNEL_NAME -f ./channel-artifacts/channel.tx --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem .. note:: You will remain in the CLI container for the remainder of these manual commands. You must also remember to preface all commands with the corresponding environment variables when targeting a peer other than ``peer0.org1.example.com``. Join channel ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Join specific peers to the channel .. code:: bash # By default, this joins ``peer0.org1.example.com`` only # the channel.block was returned by the previous command peer channel join -b You can make other peers join the channel as necessary by making appropriate changes in the four environment variables. Install chaincode onto a remote peer ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Install the sample go code onto one of the four peer nodes .. code:: bash peer chaincode install -n mycc -v 1.0 -p github.com/hyperledger/fabric/examples/chaincode/go/chaincode_example02 Instantiate chaincode and define the endorsement policy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Instantiate the chaincode on a peer. This will launch a chaincode container for the targeted peer and set the endorsement policy for the chaincode. In this snippet, we define the policy as requiring an endorsement from one peer node that is a part of either ``Org1`` or ``Org2``. The command is: .. code:: bash # be sure to replace the $CHANNEL_NAME environment variable # if you did not install your chaincode with a name of mycc, then modify that argument as well peer chaincode instantiate -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n mycc -v 1.0 -p github.com/hyperledger/fabric/examples/chaincode/go/chaincode_example02 -c '{"Args":["init","a", "100", "b","200"]}' -P "OR ('Org1MSP.member','Org2MSP.member')" See the `endorsement policies `__ documentation for more details on policy implementation. Invoke chaincode ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code:: bash # be sure to set the -C and -n flags appropriately peer chaincode invoke -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n mycc -c '{"Args":["invoke","a","b","10"]}' Make sure to wait a few seconds for the operation to complete. Query chaincode ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code:: bash # be sure to set the -C and -n flags appropriately peer chaincode query -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n mycc -c '{"Args":["query","a"]}' The result of the above command should be the following: .. code:: bash Query Result: 90 Feel free to start over and manipulate the key value pairs and subsequent invocations. Using CouchDB ------------- The state database can be switched from the default (goleveldb) to CouchDB. The same chaincode functions are available with CouchDB, however, there is the added ability to perform rich and complex queries against the state database data content contingent upon the chaincode data being modeled as JSON. To use CouchDB instead of the default database (goleveldb), follow the same procedure in the **Manually exercise the commands** section, except when starting the network pass the couchdb docker-compose as well: .. code:: bash # make sure you are in the /solo directory where your docker-compose script resides CHANNEL_NAME= TIMEOUT= docker-compose -f docker-compose-cli.yaml -f docker-compose-couch.yaml up -d **chaincode_example02** should now work using CouchDB underneath. .. note:: If you choose to implement mapping of the fabric-couchdb container port to a host port, please make sure you are aware of the security implications. Mapping of the port in a development environment makes the CouchDB REST API available, and allows the visualization of the database via the CouchDB web interface (Fauxton). Production environments would likely refrain from implementing port mapping in order to restrict outside access to the CouchDB containers. You can use **chaincode_example02** chaincode against the CouchDB state database using the steps outlined above, however in order to exercise the CouchDB query capabilities you will need to use a chaincode that has data modeled as JSON, (e.g. **marbles02**). You can locate the **marbles02** chaincode in the ``fabric/examples/chaincode/go`` directory. We will follow the same process to create and join the channel as outlined in the **Manually exercise the commands** section above. Once you have joined your peer(s) to the channel, use the following steps to interact with the **marbles02** chaincode: - Install and instantiate the chaincode on ``peer0.org1.example.com``: .. code:: bash # be sure to modify the $CHANNEL_NAME variable accordingly for the instantiate command peer chaincode install -o orderer.example.com:7050 -n marbles -v 1.0 -p github.com/hyperledger/fabric/examples/chaincode/go/marbles02 peer chaincode instantiate -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -v 1.0 -p github.com/hyperledger/fabric/examples/chaincode/go/marbles02 -c '{"Args":["init"]}' -P "OR ('Org0MSP.member','Org1MSP.member')" - Create some marbles and move them around: .. code:: bash # be sure to modify the $CHANNEL_NAME variable accordingly peer chaincode invoke -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["initMarble","marble1","blue","35","tom"]}' peer chaincode invoke -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["initMarble","marble2","red","50","tom"]}' peer chaincode invoke -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["initMarble","marble3","blue","70","tom"]}' peer chaincode invoke -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["transferMarble","marble2","jerry"]}' peer chaincode invoke -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["transferMarblesBasedOnColor","blue","jerry"]}' peer chaincode invoke -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls $CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED --cafile /opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer/crypto/ordererOrganizations/example.com/orderers/orderer.example.com/msp/cacerts/ca.example.com-cert.pem -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["delete","marble1"]}' - If you chose to map the CouchDB ports in docker-compose, you can now view the state database through the CouchDB web interface (Fauxton) by opening a browser and navigating to the following URL: ``http://localhost:5984/_utils`` You should see a database named ``mychannel`` (or your unique channel name) and the documents inside it. .. note:: For the below commands, be sure to update the $CHANNEL_NAME variable appropriately. You can run regular queries from the CLI (e.g. reading ``marble2``): .. code:: bash peer chaincode query -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["readMarble","marble2"]}' The output should display the details of ``marble2``: .. code:: bash Query Result: {"color":"red","docType":"marble","name":"marble2","owner":"jerry","size":50} You can retrieve the history of a specific marble - e.g. ``marble1``: .. code:: bash peer chaincode query -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["getHistoryForMarble","marble1"]}' The output should display the transactions on ``marble1``: .. code:: bash Query Result: [{"TxId":"1c3d3caf124c89f91a4c0f353723ac736c58155325f02890adebaa15e16e6464", "Value":{"docType":"marble","name":"marble1","color":"blue","size":35,"owner":"tom"}},{"TxId":"755d55c281889eaeebf405586f9e25d71d36eb3d35420af833a20a2f53a3eefd", "Value":{"docType":"marble","name":"marble1","color":"blue","size":35,"owner":"jerry"}},{"TxId":"819451032d813dde6247f85e56a89262555e04f14788ee33e28b232eef36d98f", "Value":}] You can also perform rich queries on the data content, such as querying marble fields by owner ``jerry``: .. code:: bash peer chaincode query -C $CHANNEL_NAME -n marbles -c '{"Args":["queryMarblesByOwner","jerry"]}' The output should display the two marbles owned by ``jerry``: .. code:: bash Query Result: [{"Key":"marble2", "Record":{"color":"red","docType":"marble","name":"marble2","owner":"jerry","size":50}},{"Key":"marble3", "Record":{"color":"blue","docType":"marble","name":"marble3","owner":"jerry","size":70}}] A Note on Data Persistence -------------------------- If data persistence is desired on the peer container or the CouchDB container, one option is to mount a directory in the docker-host into a relevant directory in the container. For example, you may add the following two lines in the peer container specification in the ``docker-compose-base.yaml`` file: .. code:: bash volumes: - /var/hyperledger/peer0:/var/hyperledger/production For the CouchDB container, you may add the following two lines in the CouchDB container specification: .. code:: bash volumes: - /var/hyperledger/couchdb0:/opt/couchdb/data Troubleshooting --------------- - It's recommended to start your network fresh. Use the following command to remove artifacts, crypto, containers and chaincode images: .. code:: bash ./network_setup.sh down - If you see docker errors, first check your version (should be 1.12 or above), and then try restarting your docker process. Problems with Docker are oftentimes not immediately recognizable. For example, you may see errors resulting from an inability to access crypto material mounted within a container. - If they persist remove your images and start from scratch: .. code:: bash make clean make docker - If you see the below error: .. code:: bash Error: Error endorsing chaincode: rpc error: code = 2 desc = Error installing chaincode code mycc:1.0(chaincode /var/hyperledger/production/chaincodes/mycc.1.0 exits) You likely have chaincode images (e.g. ``dev-peer1.org2.example.com-mycc-1.0`` or ``dev-peer0.org1.example.com-mycc-1.0``) from prior runs. Remove them and try again. .. code:: bash docker rmi -f $(docker images | grep peer[0-9]-peer[0-9] | awk '{print $3}') - If you see something similar to the following: .. code:: bash Error connecting: rpc error: code = 14 desc = grpc: RPC failed fast due to transport failure Error: rpc error: code = 14 desc = grpc: RPC failed fast due to transport failure Make sure you pointed to the correct binaries in the release folder when generating the artifacts, and that your backend is running against "beta" images or compiled images from the current master branch. If you see the below error: .. code:: bash [configtx/tool/localconfig] Load -> CRIT 002 Error reading configuration: Unsupported Config Type "" panic: Error reading configuration: Unsupported Config Type "" Then you did not set the ``FABRIC_CFG_PATH`` environment variable properly. The configtxgen tool needs this variable in order to locate the configtx.yaml. Go back and recreate your channel artifacts. - To cleanup the network, use the ``down`` option: .. code:: bash ./network_setup.sh down - If you continue to see errors, share your logs on the **# fabric-questions** channel on `Hyperledger Rocket Chat `__. ..
