The drex-hyperledger-besu-deployer is a tool designed to streamline the process of building and deploying nodes for a Hyperledger Besu network. This tool is inspired by Drex, a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) infrastructure from Brazil. It enables users to deploy a similar network in seconds.

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• A bash shell environment for running scripts (available on Linux, Mac, and Windows via Git Bash or similar)

• Fast setup and deployment of Hyperledger Besu nodes.
• User-friendly interface for specifying the number of nodes.
• Automatic key generation for each node.

1. Ensure Docker and Docker Compose are installed on your machine.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Navigate to the cloned directory and run the setup script.

1. Download and install Docker Desktop from Docker Hub.
2. Docker Compose comes integrated with Docker Desktop.

1. Download and install Docker Desktop from Docker Hub.
2. Docker Compose is included with Docker Desktop.

1. Install Docker using the package manager of your distribution. For example, on Ubuntu:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

2. Install Docker Compose by running the following commands:

   sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.29.2/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
   sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

To install the drex-hyperledger-besu-deployer, follow these steps:

1. Download or clone the repository.
2. Open a Linux, Mac, or Windows terminal (Windows users can use Git Bash or a similar bash shell).
3. Navigate to the directory containing the install.sh script.
4. Run the installation script with the following command:

   sh install.sh

This script will set up everything you need to get started.

FROM hyperledger/besu:latest

# Copy necessary scripts or configuration files
COPY qbftConfigFile.json /qbftConfigFile.json

# Set the entrypoint to Besu
ENTRYPOINT ["/opt/besu/bin/besu"]

## Setup Script
```bash
#!/bin/bash

# Check for Docker installation and running status
if ! command -v docker &> /dev/null; then
    echo "Error: Docker is not installed. Please install Docker and retry."
    exit 1
fi

if ! docker info &> /dev/null; then
    echo "Error: Docker is not running. Please start Docker and retry."
    exit 1
fi

echo "Success: Docker is installed and running."

# Define a function to generate keys with Besu
generate_keys() {
    # Additional script commands go here...
}

# Main script to configure and set up nodes
# Additional setup commands go here...

echo "Setup Complete: All configuration files have been created."

Adjust the genesis.json file and other necessary settings to align with your specific network requirements. This step is crucial for tailoring the deployment to your desired Hyperledger Besu network configuration.

Once the setup is complete, you can launch your Hyperledger Besu network with the following command:

docker-compose up -d

By using this setup, you can emulate the operation of a node in a CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) network. This provides an immersive and educational experience, closely mirroring the functionality of the Drex infrastructure.
