Deploy Chaincode using hl-composer

[gautamamrit]

I am learning Hyperledger Fabric and pretty new to Kubernetes (which is the problem). I found about Nephos and started to try it, I must say Nephos abstracts away a lot of complex parts. I followed steps in documentation to run test example in my minikube and it works well. Now, I need to deploy .bna file to the cluster developed using Composer. Then, I also find the presence of 'hl-composer' chart which should be able to install chaincodes using Composer on the K8s cluster but I couldn't find any example on how can I do so. I got stuck now. So, It will nice, for the beginner like me, to have a few more instructions in documentation to be able to install chaincode using hl-composer and run rest-server, and playground in minikube.

Thanks in advance for any possible directions!

Hi @amritg ,

You can attempt running the QA example (which requires a running CA), and run the deploy.py script with the deploy command (or fabric followed by composer).

We are happy to receive PRs improving the documentation.

Hi @alexvicegrab , Thanks for the quick reply. Can I run CA locally on minikube in order to run QA example? In documentation, Its says 'Given that we may wish to test locally on Minikube, we will need to use a local ingress controller and ignore cert-manager in favor of self-cooked SSL certificates.'

After I grasp these concept, I would be more than happy to contribute. :)

Yes, you can, but your CA will point to a local "pretend" address, which will need to be added to /etc/hosts as described here

The QA example includes a CA, as you can see if you run it, and in the nephos_config.yaml
