Configuring Two Splinter Nodes

This tutorial shows how to configure and run a Splinter node using Docker containers and a prebuilt image from splintercommunity on Docker Hub.

In this tutorial, you’ll be taking on the role of two different admins for two nodes (on the same system), so that you can configure and test a circuit. As the first administrator, you will set up a single Splinter node called “alpha”. After that’s complete, you’ll act as the second administrator to create another node, called “beta”. Next, you’ll set up a circuit between the two nodes. Finally, you will upload an example smart contract.

For planning information, general considerations, and node-management tips, see Planning a Splinter Deployment and Hosting a Splinter Node.

NOTE: The steps in this tutorial were tested with Docker 19.03.8 and Docker Compose 1.25.5.

Setting Up the First Node

  1. Start by opening a terminal window and creating a Docker Compose file for the first node, alpha.

     $ vi alpha-node.yaml

     version: "3.7"

 volumes:
   alpha-var:

 services:

   splinterd-alpha:
     image: splintercommunity/splinterd:latest
     container_name: splinterd-alpha
     hostname: alpha
     volumes:
       - alpha-var:/var/lib/splinter
       - ./config:/config
     entrypoint: |
       bash -c "
         splinter cert generate --skip && \
         splinterd -v \
             --node-id alpha \
             --network-endpoints tcps://0.0.0.0:8044 \
             --advertised-endpoints tcps://splinterd-alpha:8044 \
             --rest-api-endpoint 0.0.0.0:8080 \
             --registries file:///config/alpha-registry.yaml \
             --tls-insecure
       "

    This Compose file sets up a single Splinter node. Notice that the /var/lib/splinter directory uses a Docker volume for persistence.

    Let’s take a quick look at the commands and options you’re running.

    splinter cert generate

    --skip: Generates an x.509 certificate authority and insecure certificates for development purposes. The --skip option will ignore any existing files that may have been created already and create anything that’s missing.

    splinterd

    -v: Runs the Splinter daemon with INFO logging.

    --node-id alpha: Defines the ID for the node. This must be unique across the network (for all Splinter nodes that could participate on the same circuit).

    --network-endpoints tcps://0.0.0.0:8044: Specifies the listen endpoint for daemon-to-daemon communication between Splinter nodes, using the format protocol_prefix://ip:port

    --advertised-endpoints tcps://splinterd-alpha:8044: Specifies the public network endpoint for daemon-to-daemon communication between Splinter nodes, if the network-endpoint is not public.

    --rest-api-endpoint 0.0.0.0:8080: Specifies the address and the port that the splinterd REST API will listen on.

    --registries file:///config/alpha-registry.yaml: Defines one or more read-only Splinter registry files. This will be covered in more detail later. Notice that this is using a Docker bind mount.

    --tls-insecure: Turns off certificate authority validation for TLS connections; all peer certificates are accepted. This flag is intended for development environments using self-signed certificates.

  2. Next, create a directory to store keys for Splinter to use.

     $ mkdir -p config/keys

  3. Run the splinterd image with a bind mount for the current directory, so keys aren’t lost when the container stops.

     $ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/splinter-demo/ splintercommunity/splinterd bash

  4. Generate a public/private keypair for the alpha circuit admin. This keypair will be used to identify the user who can sign circuit proposals and votes.

     root@3d211264422b:/# splinter keygen alpha --key-dir /splinter-demo/config/keys/
 Writing private key file: /splinter-demo/config/keys/alpha.priv
 writing public key file: /splinter-demo/config/keys/alpha.pub
 root@3d211264422b:/# exit

  5. Verify that the keys were created.

     $ ls config/keys/
 alpha.priv alpha.pub

  6. Display the public key value and copy it to a scratch pad so it can be used in the next step. This example shows a sample key value; yours will be different.

     $ cat config/keys/alpha.pub
 022f2e518a8440adef03fd951869c6c0d583bfa3606c733beef4500fbe4example

  7. Now, you’ll create a registry file. A Splinter registry (or just “registry”) is a list of nodes that can be browsed (and sometimes directly managed) by an administrator. Registries can be local, like the yaml file you’re creating, or remotely accessed over HTTP. See the Splinter registry documentation for more details.

     $ vi config/alpha-registry.yaml

       ---
   - identity:
     endpoints:
       -
     display_name:
     keys:
       -
     metadata:
       organization:

  8. Fill in the registry file with information about the alpha node. Make sure to use the actual key value you copied instead of the example value shown below.

       ---
   - identity: alpha
     endpoints:
       - tcps://splinterd-alpha:8044
     display_name: alpha
     keys:
       - 022f2e518a8440adef03fd951869c6c0d583bfa3606c733beef4500fbe4example
     metadata:
       organization: alpha

  9. Start the alpha node.

     $ docker-compose -f alpha-node.yaml up
 splinterd-alpha    | Writing file: /etc/splinter/certs/generated_ca.pem
 splinterd-alpha    | Writing file: /etc/splinter/certs/private/generated_ca.key

Congratulations! You’ve got a Splinter node up and running.

Setting Up the Second Node

  1. Open a new terminal window and create the beta Compose file.

     $ vi beta-node.yaml

     version: "3.7"

 volumes:
   beta-var:

 services:

   splinterd-beta:
     image: splintercommunity/splinterd:latest
     container_name: splinterd-beta
     hostname: beta
     volumes:
       - beta-var:/var/lib/splinter
       - ./config:/config
     entrypoint: |
       bash -c "
         splinter cert generate --skip && \
         splinterd -v \
             --node-id beta \
             --network-endpoints tcps://0.0.0.0:8044 \
             --advertised-endpoints tcps://splinterd-beta:8044 \
             --rest-api-endpoint 0.0.0.0:8080 \
             --registries file:///config/beta-registry.yaml \
             --tls-insecure
       "

  2. Create the circuit admin keys for Beta.

     $ docker run -it -v $(pwd):/splinter-demo/ splintercommunity/splinterd bash

 root@3e307864c916:/# splinter keygen beta --key-dir /splinter-demo/config/keys/
 Writing private key file: /splinter-demo/config/keys/beta.priv
 writing public key file: /splinter-demo/config/keys/beta.pub
 root@3e307864c916:/# exit

  3. Next, create a node registry file for beta. You’ll have to ask the alpha admin for the info about their node so you can include it. You’ll send them the info about our node so they can add it to the alpha node registry.

    NOTE: You’re playing the role of both administrators here, so all the information is known already. In a real multi-party deployment, sharing node information so it can be added to various registries happens out-of-band. Future versions of Splinter will implement challenge authorization so manually sharing this information won’t be necessary.

    A remote registry file hosted somewhere accessible to all nodes, such as GitHub, solves some of the problems associated with out-of-band information sharing.

     $ vi config/beta-registry.yaml

       ---
   - identity: beta
     endpoints:
       - tcps://splinterd-beta:8044
     display_name: beta
     keys:
       - 02edb9b9e3d652c0ff33408f7e99be0572b665ac34320229f7624b7c292example
     metadata:
       organization: beta

   - identity: alpha
     endpoints:
       - tcps://splinterd-alpha:8044
     display_name: alpha
     keys:
       - 022f2e518a8440adef03fd951869c6c0d583bfa3606c733beef4500fbe4example
     metadata:
       organization: alpha

  4. Start the beta node.

     $ docker-compose -f beta-node.yaml up

Updating Alpha’s Registry with Beta’s Information

  1. Switch back to being the alpha admin (return to the alpha node’s terminal window).

  2. Add the information about the beta node to the registry for alpha.

     $ vi config/alpha-registry.yaml

         ---
   - identity: alpha
     endpoints:
       - tcps://splinterd-alpha:8044
     display_name: alpha
     keys:
       - 022f2e518a8440adef03fd951869c6c0d583bfa3606c733beef4500fbe4example
     metadata:
       organization: alpha

   - identity: beta
     endpoints:
       - tcps://splinterd-beta:8044
     display_name: beta
     keys:
       - 02edb9b9e3d652c0ff33408f7e99be0572b665ac34320229f7624b7c292example
     metadata:
       organization: beta

You don’t have to restart the alpha Splinter node after this change, because Splinter automatically checks for changes to the node registry.

Creating a Circuit

Creating a Splinter circuit has two parts. First, the circuit admin on one node sends a circuit proposal to one (or more) other nodes. After the proposal is received, the other nodes involved in the circuit must vote to approve it before the circuit will be created.

  1. Exec into the beta Splinter node to start creating a circuit.

     $ docker exec -it splinterd-beta bash
 root@beta:/#

  2. In a real-life scenario, you would gather the information for the circuit proposal, such as the node and service IDs, service type, and the REST API URLs. For this tutorial, the next step provides the values you need for the alpha and beta nodes.

  3. Run the splinter circuit propose command on the beta node.

     root@beta:/# splinter circuit propose \
   --key /config/keys/beta.priv \
   --url http://0.0.0.0:8080  \
   --node beta::tcps://splinterd-beta:8044 \
   --node alpha::tcps://splinterd-alpha:8044 \
   --service gsBB::beta \
   --service gsAA::alpha \
   --service-type *::scabbard \
   --management example \
   --service-arg *::admin_keys=$(cat /config/keys/beta.pub) \
   --service-peer-group gsBB,gsAA

    Let’s take a look at the options needed to create a circuit proposal.

    --key /config/keys/beta.priv: Private key file to use for signing the transaction. This can be a relative or absolute file path, or it can be the name of a .priv file in the $HOME/.splinter/keys directory. The target file must contain a valid secp256k1 private key. This option is required.

    --url http://splinterd-beta:8080: URL of the Splinter REST API

    --node beta::tcps://splinterd-beta:8044: Node that should be part of the circuit, using the format NODE-ID::ENDPOINT1,ENDPOINT2. All endpoints must be in the registry entry for the given node ID. The proposer must also specify its own node, if it is to be included on the circuit proposal. Repeat this option to specify multiple nodes.

    --node alpha::tcps://splinterd-alpha:8044: Same as above.

    --service gsBB::beta: Service ID and allowed nodes, using the format SERVICE-ID::ALLOWED-NODES. Service IDs are comprised of 4 ASCII alphanumeric characters. The ALLOWED-NODES specifies the node which the service will run on, currently only one node ID is allowed.

    --service gsAA::alpha: Same as above.

    --service-type *::scabbard: Service type for the specified service (as defined by –service), using the format SERVICE-ID::SERVICE-TYPE. The glob operator, *, may be used in place of the SERVICE-ID to match all or certain parts of the 4 character SERVICE-ID. For instance, AA*::SERVICE-TYPE to match all service IDs that begin with AA. Scabbard is presently the only service-type implemente for circuit creation.

    --management example: Circuit management type. This indicates the application authorization handler which handles the circuit’s change proposals.

    --service-arg *::admin_keys=$(cat /config/keys/beta.pub): String that passes key/value arguments to the specified service. As with --service-type above, the glob operator, *, can be used to match all or certain parts of the service ID. The admin_keys value specifies the public key of the smart contract administrator who’s is allowed to upload smart contracts to the circuit.

    --service-peer-group gsBB,gsAA Service peer group (a list of peer services). Peer services are services used by peer nodes within a circuit. This is the group of services that must come to consensus amongst the node peers.

  4. The output of the propose command shows that it was submitted to the REST API.

     The circuit proposal was submitted successfully

     Management Type: example

     beta
         Service (scabbard): gsBB
           admin_keys:

           peer_services:
               gsAA

     alpha
         Service (scabbard): gsAA
           admin_keys:

           peer_services:
               gsBB

  5. Now, make sure the proposal was committed on both nodes.

    a. Check the logs on alpha.

    Tip: Rather than inspecting the logs, you can run the splinter circuit proposals command on either node to display all committed proposals.

  6. Connect to the alpha Splinter node to finish creating the circuit.

     $ docker exec -it splinterd-alpha bash
 root@alpha:/# splinter circuit proposals --url http://0.0.0.0:8080
 ID                 MANAGEMENT MEMBERS    COMMENTS

  7. Then vote to accept the circuit proposal. Make sure to replace the example proposal ID with the value from your nodes.

     root@alpha:/# splinter circuit vote \
 --key /config/keys/alpha.priv \
 --url http://0.0.0.0:8080 \
 El9jM-6bXjg \
 --accept

  8. Look at the logs (or run splinter circuit list --url http://0.0.0.0:8080) to verify that the circuit has been created.

Now that you have two Splinter nodes with a circuit between them, you can use this circuit to upload smart contracts and share data.

Uploading a Smart Contract

Splinter uses the Sawtooth Sabre smart contract engine with a built-in Splinter service called scabbard to update shared state on a circuit between two or more Splinter nodes. In this procedure, you’ll upload an example smart contract.

NOTE: This procedure builds on the “Configuring Two Splinter Nodes” procedure, but any existing circuit will work with minor modifications, assuming you have network access to the REST API on the Splinter nodes.

You’ll need a scabbard-cli Docker container to interact with your Splinter circuits, so you’ll add a new section to your Docker Compose file. Scabbard will need access to the keys used to create the circuit you’re deploying a smart contract to. As in the rest of this tutorial, keys are stored in the ./config/keys directory.

  1. Add a new service to the beta-node.yaml configuration file.

     $ vi beta-node.yaml

     scabbard-cli-beta:
   image: splintercommunity/scabbard-cli:0.4
   container_name: scabbard-cli-beta
   hostname: scabbard-cli-beta
   volumes:
     - ./config:/config

  2. List the Splinter circuits that your node belongs to, so you know which circuit ID to use when uploading the smart contract.

     $ docker exec splinterd-beta splinter circuit list --url http://0.0.0.0:8080
 ID          MANAGEMENT MEMBERS
 El9jM-6bXjg example    beta;alpha

  3. Start up the scabbard-cli container.

     $ docker-compose -f beta-node.yaml run scabbard-cli-beta bash
 root@scabbard-cli-beta:/#

  4. Set an environment variable for the circuit ID. (The environment variable isn’t consumed directly by Splinter or Scabbard; it just makes pasting the commands easier.) Make sure to use the actual value from the previous splinter circuit list command, not the example value shown below.

     root@scabbard-cli-beta:/# export CIRCUIT_ID="El9jM-6bXjg"

  5. Next, download the smart contract archive file (also called a “scar file”) from splinter.dev.

     root@scabbard-cli-beta:/# curl -OLsS https://files.splinter.dev/scar/xo_0.4.2.scar

  6. Before you can upload the smart contract to the circuit, you’ll need to create a contract registry with the scabbard cr create command. Each smart contract has a contract registry to keep track of the contract versions, as well as the contract’s owners.

     root@scabbard-cli-beta:/# scabbard cr create \
   sawtooth_xo \
   --owners $(cat /config/keys/beta.pub) \
   --key /config/keys/beta.priv \
   --url 'http://splinterd-beta:8080' \
   --service-id $CIRCUIT_ID::gsBB

    Here’s more information about the options for this command.

    --owners $(cat /config/keys/beta.pub): Owner of the contract registry.

    --key /config/keys/beta.priv: Private key file to use for signing the transaction. This can be a relative or absolute file path, or it can be the name of a .priv file in the $HOME/.splinter/keys directory. The target file must contain a valid secp256k1 private key. This option is required. Note: Only administrators of a circuit can create contract registries. You can run splinter circuit show $CIRCUIT_ID to view the admin keys of the services on the circuit.

    --url 'http://splinterd-beta:8080': URL to the scabbard REST API. (This is built in to Splinter)

    --service-id $CIRCUIT_ID::gsBB: Fully-qualified service ID of the scabbard service (must be of the form circuit_id::service_id). If you’ve forgotten the scabbard service id, you can run splinter circuit show $CIRCUIT_ID to display detailed information about the circuit.

  7. Look at the Splinter logs to make sure the contract registry was created.

    a. Check the logs on alpha.

  8. Now that the contract registry has been created, you can upload the smart contract to the circuit.

     root@scabbard-cli-beta:/# scabbard contract upload xo:0.4.2 \
   --path . \
   --key /config/keys/beta.priv \
   --url 'http://splinterd-beta:8080' \
   --service-id $CIRCUIT_ID::gsBB

    Most of these options are the same as in the command to create the contract registry, but the --path option is new.

    --path .: Specifies the directory path(s) to use when searching for the scar file to upload. This option can be specified multiple times to provide multiple directories to search. If this option is not provided, the $SCAR_PATH environment variable will be checked. If the environment variable has not been set, the default path /usr/share/scar will be used.

  9. The scabbard contract upload command doesn’t indicate success on completion, but you can see in the logs that the contract was uploaded.

    a. Check the logs on alpha.
