Network connectivity Script

Indy 1.13.2~RC4 Testing

• https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/pkgs/container/indy-node-container%2Findy_node/48635850?tag=1.2.3-ubuntu20

Indy VDR Containers

• Christian discovered Indy VDR using home brewn indy node containers for testing.

• https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-vdr/blob/main/ci/indy-pool.dockerfile

• Christian: PR → our containers as base for their testing

Improve CI + Tagging of Container releases

• fixed by Philipp in https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/pull/121 :tada:

• We could Improve the CI pipelines to not run if not necessary (e.g. not run if only md files are changed)

• Already tried this once → need to put work into required merge job cheks

• Include indy node version

  • currently RELEASE-FLAVOUR

  • Decision today: update to: NODE_VERSION-FLAVOUR-RELEASE

    • e.g. FLAVOUR=ubuntu20

    • e.g. FLAVOUR=debian10

• Release less flavours

  • Remove when 1.13 is there

  • Comment into readme now: deprecated ubuntu16, debian10,...

Indy Node Controller

• Suggestion: Build one controller image with and one without podman

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/issues/112

    • still open

• The principal Controller solution mounting the host docker socket into the controller container might be re-discussed as well

  • Seperate meeting: 2022-11-17 10:00 - 11:00 Berline time

  • Idea Sebastian: Controller = process on Container Host

  • Idea Christian: Kubernetes Operator

• https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/issues/108#issuecomment-1270047470

  • → we should use the container name = host name to reach the controller from the indy node container instead of "localhost"

  • @tsurai

Container

• Use smaller base images

• python-slim + pypi indy packages?

  • Phillipp: Caution: pypi packages are not identical to deb versions

  • differences regarding config files for indy-node (https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node/blob/ubuntu-20.04-upgrade/build-scripts/ubuntu-2004/prepare-package.sh)

Stale

Issues

• https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/issues/96

  • probably resolved?

• Maintainers.md: https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/issues/98

  • https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/pull/109

Network connectivity test script

Idea: Script to test that IP Tables rules are as they should be

• At least check that node can connect (TCP lvl) to all other nodes

• Bonus: Check that connection from outside is not possible

Still 2do

Load Test Script by @Christian Bormann

• on hold

Alerting

• Sebastian Z finished work on slack alerting action.

• Send webhook to @Sebastian Schmittner → Forward to @Stephen Curranto add to github repo, then MR github action

• Replace scan → github security alerts or do both?

  • BOTH

  • @Sebastian Schmittner

Logging

• Stale PR https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/pull/83

• Discussion today:

  • Rather document how to edit the https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node-container/blob/main/run/etc_indy/indy_config.py then overwriting those variables at container start through init script

  • Network Name → same!?

  • Definietly keep READE + docker logging explanation

  • → sesinsible default for logging in docker compose

  • @Sebastian Schmittner

Metrics

• Carlos: https://github.com/IDunion/indy-node-monitor

• https://github.com/WadeBarnes/indy-node-monitor/tree/monitoring-stack

• Existing Prometheus + Grafana setup by IFIS

Security

The node keys handling is currently sub optimal (env variable). Should be improved to e.g. file based setup: https://github.com/IDunion/indy-node-container/issues/52

• Cristian already has a nice setup elsewhere and offers to port it

  • https://github.com/internet-sicherheit/sovrin-container

  • Merge of IFIS repo?

Indy-Test-Automation

• Issue#102: Indy Node system tests depend on the Sovrin package

  • Improve our own testing!

Support for non-docker setup

• Helm Charts

  • Might geht interesting at some point in the future 

    • Potential Clients Spherity/MGM

• Podman

  • https://github.com/IDunion/indy-node-container/issues/48

Next Meeting

• Next meeting: Controller Discussion: 2022-11-04 9:15-10:00 (Berlin time)

• Next regular meeting: 2022-11-11 9:15-10:00 (Berlin time)
