Host marbles locally

[rskumar45]

Dear Team ,

When try to run gulp marbles1 I am getting the following error (msg attached) Error Msg gulb marbles1.docx

And as per the instruction in the error message , when I am unable to follow the steps mentioned in url https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/marbles/blob/v3.0/docs/use_bluemix_hyperledger.md

This is because as of now, there is no space in the Bluemix limited beta to create a service. Message file attached Msg No space in Limited Beta - Bluemix.docx

Is there a way out ?

Thanks & Regards Surya Kumar

So the error message is showing you how to fix itself if you are using the blockchain service for your network. But you don't have to use the service. Since the service has limited space, I'd encourage you to try the local hyperledger fabric setup. This is option 2 on the "2. Get a Network" step.

In case you skipped some instructions you may want to look over steps 0-4.

The Prerequisite for setting up the local hyperledger fabric setup says that:

These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 14 and OSX. It may work for Windows 10 if you install the Bash shell. Note: Windows 7 users will need a virtual machine running some flavor of Linux.

And I am using Windows 7 system (64 bit- 4 GB RAM). In view of this how do we proceed

Have you ever setup a virtual machine before? I'd recommend Virtual Box with Ubuntu 16.

once that is setup you will bootup your virtual ubuntu via virtual box. from there you can follow the marbles instructions. make sure to run all the instructions/commands on the ubuntu machine, not your host (windows) machine.

I have Oracle VM in my system. Can I install Ubuntu on this VM ?

Maybe? I'm not sure what the difference is since Oracle also owns Virtual Box. If I were you I'd use Virtual Box since its very common, thus you can find lots of tutorials/help online.

To get decent performance what would you recomend for Minimum RAM to be allocated and size of the virtual disk. I have already installed GoLang and Node.js in Windows . Do I have to install these again in VM along with Docker and Docker compose?

[dshuffma-ibm]

128 GB of RAM and 1TB of disk

[dshuffma-ibm]

lol jk, 4GB of RAM and 20GB of disk would be plenty. probably could go as low as 2GB of RAM.

and yes, you'd have to install golang, nodejs, docker, docker compose inside the VM.

I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial on VM. I am trying to install Docker in Ubuntu using instructions given in https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/

On step 4 while following command to set up the stable repository , I am getting an error "IndexError : pieces[2].strip()"

The command used by me:- sudo add-apt-repository \ "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/$(lsb_release -cs)/stable"

I have attached the error message

Please guide me to fix this error.

@rskumar45 we cannot address the docker installation issues. Please refer to https://github.com/docker/docker-ce
