ACA-Py_Controller

Simple controller for debugging ACA-Py connections

You will need to set your own IP address for your server that you are running the ACA-Py on in the webhook.js route code. Otherwise, it does not know where to make the REST Call to your ACA-Py that you are controlling.

Pre-requisite

BPA
    Create Virtual machine for BPA (an Ubuntu server, using Azure)
    ⦁	Use the downloaded .pen key and run PuttyGen that will generate the private key.
    ⦁	Copy the public IP from the Azure VM and use it along with the private key to load the install using Putty.
    ⦁	Open the VM using putty (Username - azureuser)
    ⦁	Commands on the VM 
        sudo apt update
        sudo apt upgrade  
        sudo apt install docker.io
        sudo apt install curl
    sudo apt-get install docker-compose
        sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/v2.2.3/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
        sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
        docker-compose -v
        git clone https://github.com/hyperledger-labs/business-partner-agent
        cd business-partner-agent/scripts
        ./register-dids.sh
        nano .env
            change some ports and privacy settings.
            change BPA_HOST ... replace bpal with the public IP.
            change BPA2_HOST ... replace bpal2 with the public IP.
            ACAPY_ENDPOINT include the IP
            ACAPY2_ENDPOINT include the IP
        sudo docker-compose up
    ⦁	Now you have to open the ports, 8080, 8030, 8031 on the Azure VM Machine
    ⦁	Visit the networking tab to configure the ports.
    ⦁	Visit ip:8080 to chekc the BPA instance running.
	
    Steps: Get the BPA running the next day. 
    ⦁	Clean the already run instances.
        sudo docker container prune
        sudo docker rmi $(sudo docker images -q)
        sudo docker volume prune
    ⦁	Ensure the endpoints are updated in the .env file with the IP address of the BPA server.
            ./register-dids.sh
            sudo docker-compose up
    ⦁	Once the BPA is up and runnning.
    ⦁	If its erroring out, do run the above cmds once again. It will work.
    ⦁	Check if you have configured inbound ports on the server, configure 8080, 8030, 8031.
    ⦁	visit IP:8080 to open the BPA UI. 

# ACA-Py 
    Create Virtual machine for BPA (an Ubuntu server, using Azure), keep a note to add a disk on the 'disk; tab while creating the VM.
    ⦁	Use the downloaded .pen key and run PuttyGen that will generate the private key.
    ⦁	Copy the public IP from the Azure VM and use it along with the private key to load the install using Putty.
    ⦁	Open the VM using putty (Username - azureuser)
    ⦁	Commands on the VM 
        whereis python
        sudo apt update
        sudo apt install python3-pip
        pip install aries-cloudagent
        sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CE7709D068DB5E88
        sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://repo.sovrin.org/sdk/deb bionic master"
        sudo apt update
        sudo apt install -y libindy
        pip3 install python3_indy
        sudo apt install -y indy-cli
        sudo apt install libsodium-dev
    ⦁	Restart the ACAPy server by closing and openning it again using Putty.
    ⦁	Navigate to - https://indy-test.bosch-digital.de/genesis and Authenticate the seed by pasting it and clicking 'Register DIDs'.
    ⦁	Change the IP address(ACAPy), Wallet name and the seed to a random seed.
    ⦁	IMPORTANT make sure to copy and paste all 'aca-py' cmds into a notepad and remove the tab from the starting of each line, else the cmd will error out.
    aca-py provision \

    --genesis-url https://indy-test.bosch-digital.de/genesis
    ⦁	Add ports 8000, 8080 in the ACAPy VM on azure. 
    ⦁	Change the IP address(ACAPy) in endpoint, seed, wallet name from the above commands
    aca-py start \

    ⦁	Visit http://[ IP ADDRESS]:8080/api/doc  to access ACAPy Swagger interface. 

# ACA-Py Controller
    ⦁	Create Virtual machine for BPA (an Ubuntu server, using AWS), add a port 3000.
    ⦁	Use the downloaded .pen key and run PuttyGen that will generate the private key.

    ⦁	Open the VM using putty (Username - ubuntu)
    ⦁	Commands on the VM 
        git clone your webhook repo from Github. Below is my repo.

        cd to your code folder.
