     1  ## Quickstart
     2  ### Requirements
     3  
     4  * Java 8+
     5  * Java app server (Tomcat, Jetty, etc) [Optional]
     6  
     7  ### Running via Spring Boot
     8  
     9  * Download WAR file (Binary packages are available for macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms on the [releases](https://github.com/jpmorganchase/cakeshop/releases) page.
    10  )
    11  * Run `java -jar cakeshop.war`
    12  * Navigate to [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/)
    13  
    14  *Note: when running in Windows, -Dgeth.node=geth must be specified as Quorum is not yet available on Windows OS*
    15  
    16  ### Running via App Server
    17  
    18  * Download WAR file
    19  * Put in `/webapps` folder of your app server
    20  * Add Java system property `-Dspring.profiles.active=local` to startup script (`setenv.sh` for tomcat)
    21  * Start app server
    22  * Navigate to [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/) (default port is usually 8080)
    23  
    24  *Note: when running in Windows, -Dgeth.node=geth must be specified as Quorum is not yet available on Windows OS*
    25  
    26  ### Running modes
    27  
    28  There are a few ways in which you can run Cakeshop (see the sections below for details on each, as well as [configuration](https://github.com/jpmorganchase/cakeshop/blob/master/docs/configuration.md#geth) page):
    29  
    30     1. **Default mode**: _Used when you want Cakeshop to start up an Ethereum node._ 
    31  
    32     Running Cakeshop in the Default mode will start up Cakeshop and also start running a regular geth node (on a private/test network).
    33  
    34     2. **'Attach/Unmanaged' mode**: _Used when you want to attach Cakeshop to an already running Ethereum-like node._
    35  
    36     Running Cakeshop in 'Attach' a.k.a 'unmanaged' mode will initialize Cakeshop but not start it nor start any Ethereum node.  Once Cakeshop initialization is complete you can configure it to use the RPC details of your running node . When you then start Cakeshop it will attach to your node. 
    37  
    38  NOTE: if different parties on the network are using Cakeshop to deploy contracts to the network then they need to ensure they are using the same ContractRegistry address.  See details below for setting up the ContractRegistry address in this case.
    39  
    40     3. **Multi-Instance Set Up**: _Used when you want to run Cakeshop on more than one node in your network._ 
    41  
    42     Cakeshop is currently designed such that a given instance of Cakeshop works directly with a single Ethereum-like node, however you can set up multiple instances of Cakeshop on the same machine (each which could either have been started in 'Default' mode or 'Attach' mode) such that each can talk to a different node. 
    43  
    44  NOTE: you can use the Attach mode and/or Multi-Instance setup configuration to run Cakeshop on [Quorum](https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum) nodes.  See below for connecting Cakeshop to the [7nodes](https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum-examples/tree/master/examples/7nodes) network from the quorum-examples repo.
    45  
    46  
    47  #### The below commands assume you have renamed the WAR file to cakeshop.war
    48  
    49  ### Default Mode
    50  1. In a terminal window run:
    51  
    52      ```
    53      $ cd path/to/cakeshop/war  
    54      $ java -jar cakeshop.war 
    55      ```
    56  
    57  2. Open **http://localhost:8080/** in your browser (Firefox/Chrome supported)
    58  
    59  ### Attach Mode
    60  1. In a terminal window run:
    61  
    62      ```
    63      $ cd path/to/cakeshop/war
    64      # The 'example' arg below will unpack the war file and set up the cakeshop data folders but will not actually start a node
    65      $ java -jar cakeshop.war example 
    66      ```
    67  2. Navigate to path/to/cakeshop/war/data/local
    68  3. Make the following edits to the application.properties file:
    69    * set `geth.url` to the `rpcport` of your ethereum node, i.e. if your geth `rpcport` is 22001 then `geth.url=http\://localhost\:22001`
    70    * ensure `geth.auto.start` is set to `false`
    71    * ensure `geth.auto.stop` is set to `false`
    72  4. Run:
    73  
    74      ```
    75      $ java -jar cakeshop.war 
    76      ```
    77  5. Open **http://localhost:8080/** in your browser (Firefox/Chrome supported)
    78  
    79  ### Multi-Instance Setup
    80  
    81  Although Cakeshop currently has a one-to-one mapping with the underlying Ethereum-like node that it connects to, it is possible to have multiple Cakeshop instances running on the same machine, each connecting to a different Ethereum-like node. The best way to achieve this is to create separate Cakeshop folders for each node and then attach to each separately. You should also configure the ContractRegistry address as per the below:
    82  
    83  > ** Cakeshop ContractRegistry contract**
    84  
    85  >Cakeshop deploys a ContractRegistry contract upon start up that is used to track those contracts that have been deployed to the chain using Cakeshop or the Cakeshop APIs.  When running a multi-instance setup, you'll want to ensure that each instance of Cakeshop references the same ContractRegistry contract in order that each provides a consistent view within the Contracts Explorer.
    86  
    87  >There are two cmd flags that can be set to achieve this:
    88  
    89  > * `CAKESHOP_SHARED_CONFIG` (<em>recommended</em>): When this flag is set, Cakeshop will try to load a file called 'shared.properties' and read the ContractRegistry address from it. If the file doesn't exist, Cakeshop will deploy the ContractRegistry contract, create this file and store the address in the file.
    90  
    91  > USAGE: `$ CAKESHOP_SHARED_CONFIG="{fileLocation}" java -jar cakeshop.war`
    92  
    93  > * `CAKESHOP_REGISTRY_ADDR`: This flag will directly override whatever ContractRegistry address is configured (or not) and run with that address. Using this flag doesn't change any local Cakeshop settings nor save this address to file and so you would have to run with this flag again to use this address again.
    94  
    95  > USAGE: `$ CAKESHOP_REGISTRY_ADDR="0xabcdefgh.." java -jar cakeshop.war`
    96  
    97  
    98  1. In terminal window 1 run:
    99  
   100      ```
   101      mkdir myNetwork && cd myNetwork
   102      cp path/to/cakeshop/download /myNetwork
   103      cd myNetwork
   104      mkdir node1 node2
   105      cd node1
   106      CAKESHOP_SHARED_CONFIG=".." java -jar ../cakeshop.war example
   107      ```
   108      
   109  2. Assuming you want to attach to an existing node, navigate to /myNetwork/node1/ and edit **application.properties** per the instructions for [attach mode](#attach-mode) as described above 
   110  
   111  3. In terminal window 2 run:
   112  
   113      ```
   114      cd myNetwork/node2
   115      CAKESHOP_SHARED_CONFIG=".." java -jar ../cakeshop.war example
   116      ```
   117      
   118  4. Navigate to myNetwork/node2 and edit **application.properties** per the instructions for [attach mode](#attach-mode) as described above 
   119  5. In terminal window 1 run:
   120  
   121      ```
   122      CAKESHOP_SHARED_CONFIG=".." java -jar ../cakeshop.war
   123      ```
   124      
   125  6. In terminal window 2 run:
   126  
   127      ```
   128      CAKESHOP_SHARED_CONFIG=".." java -Dserver.port=8081 -jar cakeshop.war # Cakeshop will now be available on localhost:8081
   129      ```
   130      
   131  7. In browser window 1 open http://localhost:8080/
   132  
   133  8. In browser window 2 open http://localhost:8081/
   134  
   135  ### Running Cakeshop on quorum-examples
   136  You can use the 'Attach' mode to use Cakeshop to explore the quorum-examples [7nodes](https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum-examples/tree/master/examples/7nodes) network.
   137  
   138  To do so:
   139  
   140  1. Follow the instructions in the [7nodes](https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum-examples/tree/master/examples/7nodes) example to start the 7nodes network (running vagrant up, init.sh, start.sh etc.)
   141  2. Follow the instructions listed under the [Attach](#attach-mode) mode as described above, using the `rpcport` of the node you want to explore as found in the 7nodes [start.sh](https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum-examples/blob/master/examples/7nodes/start.sh) file. Equally, follow the [Multi-Instance](#multi-instance-setup) setup to attach to more than one of the Quorum nodes.
   142  
   143  ### Confirming Cakeshop Start Up
   144  In all cases, Cakeshop will be running once you see the below image, which shows the Cakeshop build and url that you can access that instance of Cakeshop on:
