Implementation of the Peters Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerant Algorithm    

This project supports a web interface to b e a u t i f u l l y represent what's going on.

You'll get a overview over all the values the nodes measured.

You can also get insight which messages get send by which node to which node.

You need Docker installed.

$ docker-compose build

Because some services need longer to start it is best to start them in the following order:

1. Database and Database browser

   $ docker-compose up -d postgres postgres_browser

2. The API

   $ docker-compose up -d api 

3. Start the web GUI

   $ docker-compose up -d web

4. Scale the nodes to use 4 instances

   $ docker-compose scale node=4

5. Start the nodes

   $ docker-compose up -d node

6. Stop & reset everything

   $ docker-compose down

   • Remove unused containers:

     $ docker rmi $(docker images --filter "dangling=true" -q --no-trunc)

Assuming your docker is publishing it's ports on localhost.
