Overview
In this practice, you will learn to configure and run the Docker Compose to start Hyperledger
Fabric CLI.

Assumptions
You should have completed the Practices of Lesson 2-1

Tasks
1. Connect with the Hyperledger fabric Instance using Putty terminal
2. Configure Docker compose to start the Hyperledger Fabric CLI.
a. Run the below command to Clone the Hyperledger fabric sample repository.
$ cd /home/ec2-user
$git clone --branch v1.4.7
https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric-samples.git

b. Navigate to Amazon Managed Blockchain members page and copy the memberID

 d. Create a configuration file for Docker Compose using vi editor by the name docker-
compose-cli.yaml. Copy the below code and paste it in the docker compose file as
shown below
version: '2'
services:
cli:
container_name: cli
image: hyperledger/fabric-tools:1.4
tty: true
environment:
- GOPATH=/opt/gopath
- CORE_VM_ENDPOINT=unix:///host/var/run/docker.sock
- FABRIC_LOGGING_SPEC=info # Set logging level to debug
for more verbose logging
- CORE_PEER_ID=cli
- CORE_CHAINCODE_KEEPALIVE=10
- CORE_PEER_TLS_ENABLED=true
-
CORE_PEER_TLS_ROOTCERT_FILE=/opt/home/managedblockchain-tls-
chain.pem
- CORE_PEER_LOCALMSPID=MyMemberID
- CORE_PEER_MSPCONFIGPATH=/opt/home/admin-msp
- CORE_PEER_ADDRESS=MyPeerNodeEndpoint
working_dir:
/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer
command: /bin/bash
volumes:
- /var/run/:/host/var/run/
- /home/ec2-user/fabric-
samples/chaincode:/opt/gopath/src/github.com/

 e. Edit the Docker Compose file by providing the MemberID and PeerNodeEndpoint
that is saved in the previous step.

f. Run the below command to start the Hyperledger Fabric peer CLI container.
$docker-compose -f docker-compose-cli.yaml up -d

Note: If the command fails, you can run the command using sudo
