BlockVault Setup
Services
The following are the services that make up a fully functional BlockVault environment:
- p8e-api
- object-store
- Provenance Blockchain node
- postgres 9.6
- elasticsearch
- p8e-webservice (optional)
- p8e-ui (optional)
- obect-store-locator (required only for external multi-party contract execution)
Local
A docker compose environment is provided to quickly bring up a fully configured BlockVault environment. This includes a four node Provenance Blockchain cluster. Having some familiarity with docker and docker-compose will help.
The following steps will setup an environment and execute your first BlockVault contract.
cd $BASE_CODE_DIR
git clone git@github.com:provenance-io/p8e-docker-compose.git
cd p8e-docker-compose
./bin/update && ./bin/one-time-setup.sh
./bin/start
cd $BASE_CODE_DIR
git clone git@github.com:provenance-io/p8e-gradle-plugin.git
# requires java 11
cd p8e-gradle-plugin/example-java
./gradlew clean build
source $BASE_CODE_DIR/p8e-docker-compose/env/host/env
./gradlew p8eClean p8eBootstrap --info
./gradlew runner:run
From here you're all set to start creating your own contract specifications, and then publishing and executing them. The remaining documentation will walk you through these steps and help you understand BlockVault.
