Creating Channel

First ssh into the EC2 that's running the container. Then gain access to shell of the container using this command: docker exec -i -t container_id /bin/bash. Then create "voting" channel with only voting channel as member.

1. Run this command to go to the crypto directory: cd /home/crypto
2. Replace content of configtx.yaml with this:

Organizations:
    - &Org1
        Name: member-id
        ID: member-id
        MSPDir: /home/crypto/admin-msp
        AnchorPeers:
            - Host:
              Port:
Application: &ApplicationDefaults
     Organizations:
Profiles:
    OneOrgChannel:
        Consortium: AWSSystemConsortium
        Application:
            <<: *ApplicationDefaults
            Organizations:
                - *Org1

Add Member ID of the voting organisation for values Name and ID

3. Then run this command to generate the configtx peer block: configtxgen -outputCreateChannelTx /home/crypto/voting.pb -profile OneOrgChannel -channelID voting --configPath /home/crypto/
4. Now create the channel using this command: peer channel create -c voting -f /home/crypto/voting.pb -o $ORDERER_URL --cafile /home/crypto/managedblockchain-tls-chain.pem --tls
5. Join voting authority peer to the channel by running this command: peer channel join -b /home/crypto/voting.block -o $ORDERER_URL --cafile /home/crypto/managedblockchain-tls-chain.pem --tls
