A list of SGX compatible systems that support Intel SGX is maintained here: https://github.com/ayeks/SGX-hardware

Tested systems

We have tested successfully the following hardware: DELL Optiplex 5040

Software requirements:

Currently the following operating systems are suported:

Ubuntu 18.04

We are planning support for the following operating systems:

Debian 10*

Installation

1. Install ansible

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt -y install software-properties-common
$ sudo apt-add-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible
$ sudo apt -y install ansible

2. Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/ethernity-cloud/mvp-pox-node.git

3. Install the kernel with SGX support

$ cd mvp-pox-node
$ sudo ansible-galaxy collection install crivetimihai.virtualization
$ sudo ansible-galaxy install uoi-io.libvirt
$ sudo ansible-playbook -i localhost, playbook.yml \
  -e "ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3"

After the first run of the script, the new kernel is installed and the following message will be displayed:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": "The kernel has been updated, a reboot is required"
}

Reboot the system as requested.

4. Create config file:

$ cd mvp-pox-node
$ cat << EOF > config
ADDRESS=0xf17f52151EbEF6C7334FAD080c5704D77216b732
PRIVATE_KEY=AE6AE8E5CCBFB04590405997EE2D52D2B330726137B875053C36D94E974D162F
RESULT_ADDRESS=0xC5fdf4076b8F3A5357c5E395ab970B5B54098Fef
RESULT_PRIVATE_KEY=0DBBE8E4AE425A6D2687F1A7E3BA17BC98C673636790F1B8AD91193C05875EF1

$

5. Start the node

$ sudo cp -rf ~/.vagrant.d /root
$ sudo ansible-galaxy collection install crivetimihai.virtualization
$ sudo ansible-galaxy install uoi-io.libvirt
$ sudo ansible-playbook -i localhost, playbook.yml \
  -e "ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python3"
