FogLedger

FogLedger is a plugin for Fogbed. It is a framework and toolset integration for the rapid prototyping of fog components in virtualized environments using a desktop approach for DLTs. Its design meets the postulated requirements of low cost, flexible setup, and compatibility with real-world technologies. The components are based on a Mininet network emulator with Docker container instances as fog virtual nodes.

Install

Before installing Fogbed it is necessary to install some dependencies and Containernet, as shown in the steps below:

1. Install Containernet

sudo apt-get install ansible

git clone https://github.com/containernet/containernet.git

sudo ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local containernet/ansible/install.yml

2. Install Fogbed

sudo pip install fogbed

3. Install FogLedger

sudo pip install -U git+https://github.com/larsid/FogLedger-Iota.git

Get Started

Preparing Blockchain Test

Run example iota

cd examples/iota

Run local network test

sudo python3 test-local-network.py

Run distributed network test

sudo python3 test-distributed-network.py

Example: A local network with four nodes
