private-chain-controller

The Private Chain Controller is used to start, stop, and scale blockchain nodes. It also sends scenario settings to the scenario-orchestrators running in the different blockchain networks. This project also contains a monitor script which informs the api-server about the blockchains currently running.

Requirements

You should have at least:

• docker 1.13.1
• docker-compose 1.8.0
• Python 3.5.2 with pip3

Usage

This project contains the files needed to build a blockchain backend.

1. Run ./build.sh to download the blockchains, create the virtual environment, and install the requirements for the controller and monitor.
2. Run ./runAll.sh to run the controller and monitor. The controller will connect to the api-server and wait for its input.
3. To stop controller and monitor run ./killAll.sh this will also remove all docker-containers of blockchains that have been started.

Extending

The controller is meant to be extendable. Configuration details for new chains can be added in the config file. You can also change the address of the api-server there. Build details would have to be added in the build.sh script.
