Let Node create Keys

See also: ​indy-node-container/run

  1. Fetch the helper scripts from github

     cd ~  # I'm using /home/ubuntu
 git clone https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container.git

  2. Create the root of everything seed

     cd indy-node-container/run
 ./generate_random_seeds.sh

    (The text output is wrong; there is no .cli.env written)

    Important: Please make sure to securely store the seed (found in .node.env)

  3. Create a directory for the network and put the name in the.env file

     mkdir lib_indy/swiss_sandbox
 vi .env
 # replace ssi4de with swiss_sandbox
 # replace GS1Germany with your node's name 
 # (e.g. your organisation's name, a short with all capital letters)

  4. Start the node with an INCOMPLETE config (genesis files are missing) to let it create the keys needed to generate the genesis files. So don’t start it in the background (without daemon mode; -d) and stop it (ctrl-C) after the generated keys have been printed on the console. If you wait to long, you will see some error messages, which can be ignored

     sudo docker compose up

  5. Now you see in the output the generate keys (based on the seed). It should look like this

    • Verification key
    • BLS Public key
    • Proof of possession for BLS key
