# FabCar as an external service
|
|
|
|
See the "Chaincode as an external service" documentation for running chaincode as an external service.
|
|
This includes details of the external builder and launcher scripts which will peers in your Fabric network will require.
|
|
|
|
The FabCar chaincode requires two environment variables to run, `CHAINCODE_SERVER_ADDRESS` and `CORE_CHAINCODE_ID_NAME`, which are described in the `chaincode.env.example` file. Copy this file to `chaincode.env` before continuing.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** each organization in a Fabric network will need to follow the instructions below to host their own instance of the FabCar external service.
|
|
|
|
## Packaging and installing
|
|
|
|
Make sure the value of `CHAINCODE_SERVER_ADDRESS` in `chaincode.env` is correct for the FabCar external service you will be running.
|
|
|
|
The peer needs a `connection.json` configuration file so that it can connect to the external FabCar service.
|
|
Use the `CHAINCODE_SERVER_ADDRESS` value in `chaincode.env` to create the `connection.json` file with the following command (requires [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
env $(cat chaincode.env | grep -v "#" | xargs) jq -n '{"address":env.CHAINCODE_SERVER_ADDRESS,"dial_timeout": "10s","tls_required": false}' > connection.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add this file to a `code.tar.gz` archive ready for adding to a FabCar external service package:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tar cfz code.tar.gz connection.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Package the FabCar external service using the supplied `metadata.json` file:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
tar cfz fabcar-pkg.tgz metadata.json code.tar.gz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install the `fabcar-pkg.tgz` chaincode as usual, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
peer lifecycle chaincode install ./fabcar-pkg.tgz
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running the FabCar external service
|
|
|
|
To run the service in a container, build a FabCar docker image:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker build -t hyperledger/fabcar-sample .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Edit the `chaincode.env` file to configure the `CHAINCODE_ID` variable before starting a FabCar container using the following command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
docker run -it --rm --name fabcar.org1.example.com --hostname fabcar.org1.example.com --env-file chaincode.env --network=net_test hyperledger/fabcar-sample
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Starting the FabCar external service
|
|
|
|
Complete the remaining lifecycle steps to start the FabCar chaincode!
