VON Connector

Verifiable Organization Network Connector

Getting Set Up

First, install Docker. Download the installer for your operating system here. Once it is installed, keep the Docker daemon running in the background.

Once Docker has been installed, open a terminal session and clone this repository:

git clone <repository url> von-connector

Move to the new directory:

cd von-connector

Now you can build the Dockerfile into an image which we will use to run containers (this process will take several minutes):

./manage build

Once the build process completes, you can test the build to make sure everything works properly:

./manage start_nodes

Once the nodes are all running and have connected to each other, you can run the Indy client to test the connection in a separate terminal window:

./manage start_client

The Indy CLI should boot up and you should see the following:

Indy-CLI (c) 2017 Evernym, Inc.
Type 'help' for more information.
Running Indy 1.1.159

indy>

Now connect to our new Indy network to make sure network is running correctly:

connect test

What you should see is:

indy> connect test

If you see this, congratulations! Your nodes are running correctly and you have a connection to the network.

Running the VON Connector

Start the Indy nodes:

./manage start_nodes

Once that completes, start the VON Connector in a separate terminal window:

./manage start_von_connector

It will first take a minute to bootstrap the environment and once that completes you should see something like this:
