About

This repository provides two examples of provisioning a Hyperledger Fabric network.

• the most basic, minimal network possible using a native peer binary and its configuration files, with a native solo orderer binary and its configuration files. It also includes some scripts and their enviroment variables to create, join a channel; install, instantinate chaincode; invoke, query the chaincode. This is in the ./single directory.

• The second example is much more involved. It uses ansible to create three or more orgs, where each org consists of a zookeeper node, a kafka node, a fabric-ca node, an orderer node, N peer nodes, and a cli node. Each node corresponds to its own virtual machine. It is in the ./ansible directory.

These examples assume a basic understanding of what Hyperledger Fabric is, and how the various components interact. The byfn example included in Fabric, is a much better first step.
