pbft

Implementation of the Peters Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant Algorithm    

Web GUI

This project supports a web interface to b e a u t i f u l l y represent what's going on.

You'll get a overview over all the values the nodes measured.

You can also get insight which messages get send by which node to which node.

Code status

Java PBFT Node

API Server

Starting everything

You need Docker installed.

$ docker-compose up --build

However, because some services need longer to start it is best to start them in the following order:

1. Database and Database browser

   $ docker-compose up -d postgres postgres_browser

2. The API

   $ docker-compose up -d api 

3. Start the web GUI

   $ docker-compose up -d web

4. Scale the nodes to use 4 instances

   $ docker-compose scale node=4

5. Start the nodes

   $ docker-compose up -d node

6. Stop & reset everything

   $ docker-compose down

   • Remove unused containers:

     $ docker rmi $(docker images --filter "dangling=true" -q --no-trunc)

Standart Ports and URLs

Assuming your docker is publishing it's ports on localhost.

Server	URL
API	http://localhost:80/
Database	http://localhost:8080/phppgadmin/
Web GUI	http://localhost:8000/src/
