Installation Instructions

Prerequisites

1. Setup Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster

Supported version of OpenShift: 4.7.

Supported version of Kubernetes: 1.17 and later.

We recommend AWS (EKS) or Google Cloud (GKE), but you can install it on a standalone cluster as well.

Define your cluster size considering the following minimum requirements and your business needs:

1. Minimal requirements for the Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service for one organization — 1 instance with:
- 2 core CPU
- 4GB RAM
- 10GB disk space
2. Each node (CA, orderer, or peer) that will be deployed consumes additional resources. Minimal requirements for one node:

Node	CPUe	Memory, Mi	Storage, Gi
CA	0.1	128	1
Peer	0.1	128	1
Orderer	0.1	128	1

Deciding on the size of the cluster, please consider the expected load of the nodes and increase these values accordingly.

3. Each chaincode installed to a peer runs as a separate pod and consumes additional resources (CPU and RAM).

2. Install Helm to your workstation

Installation manuals: helm.sh/docs/intro/install/

No customization is needed.

Supported version of Helm: 3.*.

3. Install Traefik ingress

The ingress-controller is needed for traffic routing to expose nodes (peer, CA, orderer). The Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service creates a CRD resource (IngressRouteTCP in case of using Traefik or Route in case of using OpenShift), that is automatically started and deleted along with each node.

Installation manuals: github.com/traefik/traefik-helm-chart

No customization is needed, the default port ( :443 ) for HTTPS traffic will be used.

We recommend installing Traefik to a separate namespace from the application (creation of a namespace for the Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service is described in step 6).

Supported version of Traefik: 2.3.

In case of using OpenShift, you should skip this step and specify it in the Helm chart values later (Helm chart values are described in the Setup section), because OpenShift has a built-in ingress-controller server.

4. Install cert-manager to create TLS certificate

TLS certificate is needed for secured communication between a User and the Сatalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service components.

Installation manuals: cert-manager.io/docs/installation/helm/

We recommend using the last release of the official helm chart.

You can skip this step and specify your TLS certificate and key as a Kubernetes secret in Helm chart values instead later (Helm chart values are described in the Setup section). You can find the manual on how to create a Kubernetes secret here: kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/#tls-secrets

5. Create an A-record in a zone in your domain’s DNS management panel and assign it to the load balancer created upon Traefik or OpenShift installation

Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service needs a wildcard record *.<domain> to expose nodes. All created nodes (peers, orderers, CAs) will have a <NodeName>.<domainName> address.

For example, in case you are using AWS, follow these steps:

Go to the Route53 service.
Create a new domain or choose the existing domain.
Create an A record.
Switch “alias” to ON.
In the “Route traffic to” field select “Alias to application and classic load balancer.”
Select your region (where the cluster is installed).
Select an ELB balancer from the drop-down list.*

*Choose the ELB balancer, which was automatically configured upon the Traefik chart installation as described in step 3 (or upon OpenShift installation in case of using OpenShift). You can check the ELB by the following command:

kubectl get svc -n ${ingress-namespace}

where ${ingress-namespace} — the name of the namespace, where the ingress was installed. ELB is displayed in the _EXTERNAL-IP field.

6. Create a namespace for the Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service application

kubectl create ns ${ns_name}

where ${ns_name} — name of namespace (can be any).

6.1 Get the credentials to the Helm repository in the JFrog artifactory provided by the IntellectEU admin team

6.2 Add the repo to Helm with the username and password provided:

helm repo add catbp <https://intellecteu.jfrog.io/artifactory/catbp-helm> --username ${ARTIFACTORY_USERNAME} --password ${ARTIFACTORY_PASSWORD}

As a result: "catbp" has been added to your repositories

7. Create an ImagePullSecret to access the Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger service deployable images

For example, create this Secret, naming it intellecteu-jfrog-access:

kubectl create secret intellecteu-jfrog-access regcred --docker-server=intellecteu-catbp-docker.jfrog.io --docker-username=${your-name} --docker-password=${your-password} --docker-email=${your-email} -n ${ns_name}

where:

_ ${your-name} _ - your Docker username.
_ ${your-password} _ — your Docker password.
${your-email} — your Docker email.
${ns_name} — the namespace created for the Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service on the previous step.

8. Deploy a message broker

A message broker is needed by the Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service to schedule commands, emit events, and control workflows.

Currently, only RabbitMQ is supported. Version: 3.7 and later.

No specific configurations are needed. You can check the official production checklist: www.rabbitmq.com/production-checklist.html

We recommend 1GB RAM as a minimum setup.

In case you want to use a readiness check and use a private repository for the image, you should create a “secret” file with your credentials in Kubernetes/OpenShift for further specifying it in the Helm chart upon Catalyst Blockchain Platform installation. Please refer to the official Kubernetes documentation: kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/pull-image-private-registry/

Helm chart configuration instructions you will find here.

9. Deploy a database

A database is required by the Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hyperledger Fabric service to support internal architecture for workflows as well as store users' action logs.

No secure data is stored in the database.

Catalyst Blockchain Platform supports PostgreSQL and MySQL. You can use any.

Supported version of PostgreSQL: 12.8 and later.

Supported version of MySQL: 8.0.21 and later.

No specific configurations are needed. You can use the official manuals:

We recommend 1GB RAM as a minimum setup.

10. Setup secret storage (optional)

A digital identity is represented as a private key and x509 certificate. All identities that were enrolled through Catalyst Blockchain Platform are stored in secret storage. Underlying providers of the storage are Kubernetes Secrets* and Hashicorp Vault. . Kubernetes is enabled by default. It means that for each enrolled identity there is a corresponding Kubernetes secret. If you want to proceed with Kubernetes secret, you can skip this section and use the default configuration for secret storage in the helm chart https:// values. . he other option allows users to store generated identities in Hashicorp Vault, thus having more control over them, better encryption, backups, and other benefits. If you want to use Hashicorp Vault instead of Kubernetes secrets, please check the prerequisites here.

Operator:

While the mounting process of a Kubernetes secret is straightforward it is not the same for a Hashicorp Vault secret. Catalyst Blockchain Platform operator is responsible for that. All pods that require secrets from Hashicorp Vault have an additional init container vault-envwhich is based on hashicorp/consul-template. The operator creates a temporal short-lived token and config for consule-template. The last one authenticates using the token, fetches the secret, and places it into a volume, that is shared with the main container.

API:

Each action with Hyperledger Fabric SDK requires an identity and all identities are stored in Hashicorp Vault. It might affect the performance of the API, that’s why caching mechanism was introduced. Whenever an identity is loaded from Hashicorp Vault it will be placed into the cache for TTL. Default TTL is 10 seconds.

As a result, you will get:

Kubernetes (or Openshift) cluster deployed.
Helm installed to your workstation.
Traefik ingress installed to your Kubernetes cluster.
In case of using OpenShift, you should skip this step.
Cert-manager installed to your cluster or TLS certificate prepared.
A-record created, for example, in your account on AWS or Google Cloud.
Namespace created in your cluster and Helm repository added to your workstation.
Kubernetes (OpenShift) secret created in the namespace on your Kubernetes (OpenShift) cluster.
A message broker (RabbitMQ) deployed.
A database deployed.
(optional) Hashicorp Vault installed.

Use the following command:

helm upgrade --install ${fabric_release_name} catbp/fabric-console --values values.yaml -n ${ns_name}

where:

${fabric_release_name} _ — name of the Catalyst Blockchain Platform Hypeledger Fabric service release. You can choose any name/alias. It is used to address for updating, deleting the Helm chart. * catbp/fabric-console_ — chart name, where “catbp” is a repository name, “fabric-console” is the chart name.
values.yaml — a values file.
${ns_name} — name of the namespace you’ve created before.

You can check the status of the installation by using these commands:

helm ls — check the "status" field of the installed chart.

Status “deployed” should be shown.

kubectl get pods — get the status of applications separately.

All pods statuses must be “running.”

kubectl describe pod $pod_name — get detailed information about pods.
