This directory contains Helm Charts for creating an IBM Blockchain Platform development sandbox.

Obtain a Kubernetes cluster using IBM Container Service by following the instructions here.

1. Download and extract Helm for your platform.

2. Install Helm by running the following commands:

   chmod +x helm
   mv helm /usr/local/bin
   helm init

Deploy all of the charts by running the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/ibm-container-service.git
cd ibm-container-service/helm-charts
./deploy_charts.sh

Use the following instructions to deploy each chart manually.

Note: Give the charts time to install before moving on to the next chart.

Use the command kubectl get pods -a to check on the status of the containers and ensure that none complete with an Error status.

Additional information can be obtained for a pod by using the command kubectl logs <pod_name>.

• Deploy the blockchain network chart by running the following commands:

  cd ibm-container-service/helm-charts/ibm-blockchain-network
  helm install --name blockchain .
