Deploy and configure a BC instance of IndyScan to to scan the CANdy and BCovrin ledgers

[WadeBarnes]

Deploy an instance of IndyScan into OpenShift or AWS configured to scan the CANdy and BCovrin ledgers.

Required Work:

• Determine whether OpenShift or AWS would be a better hosting platform. Cost and maintenance wise OpenShift may be better long term.
• Deploy and configure the instance to scan the CANdy and BCovrin ledgers.
• BC Gov branding?
• Secure the interfaces. See note here; Security Warning.

Acceptance Criteria:

• A functional instance of IndyScan, scanning the CANdy dev, test, and prod ledgers
  • [ ] dev
  • [ ] test
  • [ ] prod
• A separate functional instance of IndyScan, scanning the BCovrin dev-greenlight, greenlight, dev, test, and prod ledgers.
  • [ ] dev-greenlight
  • [ ] greenlight
  • [ ] dev
  • [x] test - http://test.bcovrin.vonx.io:3707/home/BCOVRIN_TEST
  • [ ] prod

Basic instructions for running IndyScan using docker compose:

• https://github.com/Patrik-Stas/indyscan/tree/master/start
• You can ignore the part about the npm install and verify.

Example docker compose configuration and settings for the Sovrin networks:

• https://github.com/Patrik-Stas/indyscan/tree/master/ci/integration-sovrin
• This lays out the configuration files that need to be included and provides an example of how to configure IndyScan to scan the networks.
• Raw docker compose commands can be found in the make file; https://github.com/Patrik-Stas/indyscan/blob/master/ci/integration-sovrin/Makefile

Based on this I figure we could have something running on OpenShift within a few hours. Developing and testing the configurations for CANdy and BCovrin using docker compose could be done in under and hour.

Although a single instance could be configured to scan both CANdy and BCovrin networks it's best to keep them separate.

Given that we have now reset BCovrin, this is lowered in priority -- for now :-). The current interface is fine given the size of the ledger. Nice to have IndyScan added at some point, but not crucial.

@WadeBarnes I believe this is done - maybe just partially?

[WadeBarnes]

Partially, just for BCovrin Test; http://test.bcovrin.vonx.io:3707/home/BCOVRIN_TEST

Do we need to run one for CANdy, or is the IDLab one sufficient?

They had talked about retiring their instance due to availability concerns with their ISP that was out of their control. That was a while back. Not sure if it's still a concern. That's the only reason the CANdy environments are on the list.
