This setup creates a basic Hyperledger Fabric blockchain network with 3 peer nodes running on your local Minikube cluster.

• 1 Certificate Authority (CA): Issues certificates for the network
• 1 Orderer: Orders transactions and creates blocks
• 3 Peer Nodes: Store the ledger and execute chaincode
• 1 CLI Container: For interacting with the network

1. Minikube installed and running
2. kubectl configured to use your Minikube cluster

1. Start Minikube (if not already running):

   minikube start

2. Deploy the network:

   ./deploy.sh

3. Check deployment status:

   kubectl get pods -n hyperledger-fabric

4. Access the CLI container:

   kubectl exec -it $(kubectl get pods -n hyperledger-fabric -l app=cli -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -n hyperledger-fabric -- /bin/bash

• Namespace: hyperledger-fabric
• CA Service: ca-org1:7054
• Orderer Service: orderer:7050
• Peer Services:
  • peer0-org1:7051
  • peer1-org1:8051
  • peer2-org1:9051

To remove the entire network:

./cleanup.sh

• This is a simplified setup for development/testing purposes
• TLS is disabled for simplicity
• No persistent volumes are used (data will be lost when pods restart)
• All nodes belong to a single organization (Org1MSP)

Once the network is running, you can:

1. Create and join channels
2. Install and instantiate chaincode
3. Invoke transactions
4. Query the ledger

For production deployments, consider:

• Enabling TLS
• Using persistent volumes
• Setting up multiple organizations
• Implementing proper MSP configuration
• Adding monitoring and logging
