Hi All,

Before we begin to setup Hyperledger Cello, Lets quickly go through the basic information about Cello.

Hyperledger Cello is a blockchain provision and operation system, which helps manage blockchain networks in an efficient way.

Using Cello, everyone can easily:

  • Build up a Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) platform quickly from scratch.
  • Provision customizable Blockchains instantly, e.g., a Hyperledger fabric network v1.0.
  • Maintain a pool of running blockchain networks on top of baremetals, Virtual Clouds (e.g., virtual machines, vsphere Clouds), Container clusters (e.g., Docker, Swarm, Kubernetes).
  • Check the system status, adjust the chain numbers, scale resources… through dashboards.

A typical usage scenario is illustrated as:

Prerequisites for Cello

  1. Docker
  2. Docker compose
  3. Git
  4. make

Lets Now setup Hyperledger Cello:

  1. Clone the Cello repository from Github.

2. Enter the below commands

make setup-master

make start

After service started up, if use docker-compose method, you can see output:

Check if the containers are up and running

Now make sure 8081 port in the VM is open.

Enter the URL in the brwoser https://localhost:8081 ……For those who are setting up the application in local and http://<ip address>:8081 ….For those who have setupp Cello in VM.

Cello Dashboard is visible as below which asks for ID and Password:
